Gibsons Demands Better Ferry Service | Vancouver News

Gibsons residents are sounding the alarm over overcrowded ferry routes, with 30% of sailings last year packed to capacity—forcing locals to miss trips and demanding urgent upgrades from B.C. Ferries and the provincial government. The community, now BC’s largest ferry-dependent area thanks to a 27% population boom and 200% tourism surge since 2003, insists on modern, purpose-built vessels and reliable service—not just safety fixes. While B.C. Ferries claims its focus is on maintaining current levels and essential upgrades, locals push for concrete improvements including better reservations, backup boats, and dedicated fleet investments ahead of their 2028–2032 planning cycle.
