I ended up doing the Schwartz Bay to Tawwasen trip on Monday.

I was planning to stop for breakfast and then get on the 11:00 sailing. Driving out heard the news the 9:00 was full, and the overflow almost filled the 11:00. Scrapped the plan to stop for breakfast and arrived just before 9:00 for an 11:00 sailing.

What is a weird about all of this. The 11:00 sailing is a traditionally under sold sailing, it is one of the ones that BC Ferries is offering 50% the regular vehicle charge.

Not certain this is representative but I get the impression these "sale priced" sailings are doing very well and over selling. Clearly they still have some work to do to get a proper yield management system in place where they can adjust prices to maximize the return by charging less. Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
