Summer ferry fares up 14% Gulf Islands travellers will be treated to "seasonal fares" this summer, but the experience won't be found in local restaurants. B.C. Ferries' introduction of seasonal fares will raise the cost of getting to and from the Gulf Is­ lands by an average 14 per cent between June 16 and September 15, the corporation announced Friday. The Fulford Harbour-Swartz Bay and Vesuvius-Crofton car and driver fare went up seven per cent from $17.50 to $18.25 on Tuesday, and will go up again — to $19.75 — during the summer season. The difference between the old fare and the new peak period fare — in effect from June 16 to September 15 — is 12.8 per cent. Travellers to and from Tsaw­ wassen via Long Harbour will pay $53 for a round trip instead of $51 until June 16, when the fare jumps 11.76 per cent to $57. The car and driver fare to the Outer Islands from Swartz Bay has gone to $19.25 from $18.50, an increase of four per cent.

Although peak season fares jumped by as much as 14 per cent for travel to and from the Gulf Islands, one area escaped the leap. Commuter tickets. The cost of 10 vehicle and driver commuter tickets moved '!{ upward by the equivalent of a single pack of cigarettes or two pints of beer. Ten tickets for vehicle and driver travelling to Salt Spring will now be $132 instead of $125.50. So during peak periods, visitors and occasional users of the ferries from the Vancouver Island side will be paying $2.25 more for car and driver to reach Salt Spring or the Outer Is­ lands.

But those who purchase 10 books of tickets for car and driver will pay an additional 65 cents (67 cents to the Outer Islands) per trip — the cost of one barely drinkable cup of coffee from the Bowen Queen vending machine.
