I am a passenger who frequently rides the ferry between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale and it is always overcrowded with passengers.
People are always having one sail waits (or more) at both ends of the route.
A lot of people who ride this route are people travelling from the Sunshine Coast to Whistler via Horseshoe Bay.
I think the solution to reduce overcrowding on the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale route is to run a new ferry from Squamish to Langdale.
It would be a much faster way to get from the Sunshine Coast to Whistler.
It would attract more ridership to the ridership.
It would attract new customers to the ferry system.
It would help boost tourism on the Sunshine Coast and in the Squamish-Whistler area.
Our population is growing here on the south coast and with that, so is the ridership on the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale ferry. Thus, there is the need for a new ferry between Langdale and Squamish to help reduce overcrowding on the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale ferry.
