BC Ferries: Passengers are being allowed to remain in their vehicles on the enclosed car decks

BY , Mar 17, 2020 10:32 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Passengers are being allowed to remain in their vehicles on the enclosed car decks of vessels operated by BC Ferries because of COVID-19.

The ferry service says is relaxing its restriction after Transport Canada and the Canadian Ferry Association agreed to give ferry operators more flexibility to help people keep their social distance.

BC Ferries says in a statement that passengers are normally kept off closed car decks to ensure their safety in an emergency.

As a result of the temporary change in policy, the ferry service says it will increase patrols on the car decks of its vessels.
