保守党议员Joe Robertson于2025年11月5日推出《渡轮服务(整合和监管)法案》, Conservative MP Joe Robertson is introducing the Ferry Services (Integration and Regulation) Bill on November 5, 2025, to bring ferry operations under national regulation similar to buses and trains. 他援引无法负担的票价——汽车返回费高达400英镑——以及缺乏可靠的时间表和缺乏问责制,特别是在诸如医疗探访或葬礼等基本旅行方面缺乏问责制。 He cites unaffordable fares—up to £400 for a car return—unreliable schedules, and lack of accountability, particularly for essential travel like medical visits or funerals. 该法案旨在保护社会上必要的路线,使渡轮时间表与铁路服务保持一致,并确保公平定价,消除私人股权所有权和快速定价阻碍家庭和危害怀特岛旅游业的担忧。 The bill aims to protect socially necessary routes, align ferry timetables with rail services, and ensure fair pricing, countering concerns that private equity ownership and surge pricing deter families and harm tourism on the Isle of Wight.
