Fourth, PCL doesn't run on all the ferries (although that might >have changed since I last tried to catch a PCL bus on a ferry). You don't have to buy your ticket on the ferry. You can get one at the bus station downtown (in either Vancouver or Victoria), and get direct service from downtown to downtown. This is why there are so few seats left if you try to buy one on the ferry--most people have already bought theirs. I agree with you about the cost, though. -- Steven Leffler | It is well to remember that the leffler@physics.ubc.ca | entire universe, with one trifling University of British Columbia | exception, is composed of others.
