BC Ferries seeking feedback on television screens aboard vessels and at terminals

BC Ferries is seeking passenger feedback on new flat-screen television screens aboard ships and passenger waiting areas, and large screens at vehicle waiting areas, according to a new survey circulating among passengers on at least one major route between the mainland and Vancouver Island.  The survey queries passengers on perceived interest in screens displaying information on vessel location, vessel speed, vessel schedule performance, televised media (such as short movies, sit-coms, or news) and advertising.

Several performance and BC Ferry operational questions were also on the survey.  Questions included satisfaction with schedule performance, satisfaction with announcements aboard ships and at the terminals, and passenger preferences (such as remaining in the vehicle, eating at the buffet, sightseeing, etc) when sailing aboard BC Ferries vessels.

Earlier this year BC Ferries released the results of a previous survey, which identified the system as lacking in frequency, lacking in value for the money, and lacking in availability of connections.

BC Ferries uses the Tsawaasen - Swartz Bay route as a way to subsidize the small routes. The government subsidy goes towards the small routes to help cover those costs.

BC Ferries did sell the Sidney as it has done to all old ships (or at least tried to) there is not a lot of demand for 50 year ships anywhere.
