How do you like the new unloading procedures on the ferry?

It's temporary - if you don't like it - SPEAK UP ! 

I don't like it because:

- cars getting damaged by people with strollers,  large suitcases, backpacks (think summer camps) making their way to the front

- slow people on the ramp = delays = overtime = more $$

- people having to stand in the rain and car fumes while waiting to get off (covered area is not big enough)

- dangerous situation when cars are driving up behind foot passengers   (even worse when the people have to walk around a truck delivering to 49th in Chemainus)

WHY FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE.  Our ferry and terminal are not set up for this system: most of all, the walk-on ramp is too narrow, so on a busy ferry the foot passengers have no choice but to walk up the car ramp. Enough said: if you agree,  TELL THEM YOU WANT THE OLD SYSTEM BACK.
