不列颠哥伦比亚省已批准购买四个新的混合渡轮,以取代阿尔贝尼、新威斯敏斯特、科基特拉姆和科维昌等老皇后。 British Columbia has approved the purchase of four new hybrid ferries to replace the aging Queens of Alberni, New Westminster, Coquitlam, and Cowichan. 虽然渡轮委员会批准了支出,但由于财政原因,它们没有批准第5艘船只,导致从4月1日起票价上涨3.2%。 While the ferry commission approved the expenditure, they did not approve a fifth vessel due to fiscal concerns, leading to a 3.2% fare increase starting April 1st. 新的渡轮将使最繁忙的路线上的能力增加12%,但BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez以长期储蓄和需求为由对这一决定表示失望。 The new ferries will increase capacity on the busiest routes by 12%, but BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez expressed disappointment over the decision, citing long-term savings and demand.
