Weird . To me half the fun in driving is downshifting to stops . What if you ' re needing to drive away before you stop ? Coasting in gear would mean you aren ' t in an appropriate gear if you need to start driving again . <| sep |> Exactly . Cut unessential services to increase service where it ' s essential . Nobody is likely to die or suffer significantly because there are less sailings between the mainland and Vancouver Island . But BC residents die or have poor quality of life because some services are unavailable or infrequent from other islands . How many sailings per day between Delta and Nanaimo are essential ? Let ' s say that ' s N . Well N 1 is unessential and yet there is likely a sailing elsewhere that isn ' t happening because it ' s too expensive that could save or improve more remote BC lives . Can you agree with that ? We can debate what the number is , but there ' s a number where it starts to cut into our ability to provide nonservice where it can make bigger qualityoflife differences .
