island transport solutions: Sailing.......through a little bit of paradise

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/08/sailingthrough-little-bit-of-paradise.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Friday, 13 August 2010. Sailing.through a little bit of paradise. A week travelling around on car ferries may not be everyone's idea of paradise - but as a means of experiencing the beauty of British Columbia some ferries are hard to beat. On Day 2 of our recent trip we boarded the MV Island Sky. Boarding the Island Sky. We had no idea what to expect. Externally, the design is not unlike her smaller, more venerable cousins, Bowen Queen. And Mayne Queen -. Its a...

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/09/four-die-in-megabus-en-route-to-toronto.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Sunday, 12 September 2010. Four die in Megabus en route to Toronto. Four people are now known to have lost their lives in an horrific accident in which an off-route Stagecoach Megabus en route from Philadelphia to Toronto struck an overhead bridge clearly signed as having just 10'9" headroom. The Van Hool Astromega is over 13' high. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Come on Gabriola, take a leaf from Bowens book. Just another school trip hazard.

island transport solutions: U-Pass and VIU : stalemate or opportunity?

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/09/upass-and-viu-stalemate.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Monday, 6 September 2010. U-Pass and VIU : stalemate or opportunity? So, Vancouver Island University (VIU) is one of the few higher eduction establishments in BC that will not be subscribing to the U-PASS scheme this year. Let's e. The majority of universities in BC are located in Vancouver or Victoria, where the density of population - and therefore the quality of public transit service - is way higher than in Nanaimo. The result? It is wholly unrealistic to e...

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/06/school-bus-challenge.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Friday, 25 June 2010.

island transport solutions: The great Gabriola ferry debate

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2011/08/great-gabriola-ferry-debate.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Sunday, 14 August 2011. The great Gabriola ferry debate. Let's be honest. Gabriola has a much better ferry service than most of the gulf islands. Why? Well, for one thing, we live on the only gulf island with a ferry that takes us right into town, where we can shop, eat out and so much more within walking distance of the ferry terminal. And, with an experience card, the round trip passenger fare is only a buck more than a round trip on Nanaimo Transit. So here ...

island transport solutions: It's all in the writing

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/08/its-all-in-writing.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Monday, 16 August 2010. It's all in the writing. It's been said that travel broadens the mind - and our recent journey around the Gulf Islands certainly highlighted the very different atmosphere of the various island communities that we visited. Although not by any means the definitive guide, the initial impression created as you land by ferry offers just a hint of what to expect. Within sight of Galiano Island is Mayne Island - a community so proud of its twin...

island transport solutions: The Greyhound saga rolls on..... for now

http://islandtransport.blogspot.com/2010/11/greyhound-saga-rolls-on-for-now.html

Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Friday, 19 November 2010. The Greyhound saga rolls on. for now. Enter BC Ferries into the equation, and after some heated discussion, BC Ferries refused to allow Greyhound buses to park outside the terminals, forcing Greyhound to abandon the four shuttle buses and (despite being under an obligation to run them pending determination of their application) their service has only run 2 buses each way since early October.
