Is it possible that the ferry service or the seaplane service has freezed them out?
Either way, I hope they finally build a service that works, and lasts more than 2 struggling years (like the last couple of attempts), so they can ultimately expand the service to Victoria too. If they are cheaper than a ferry, and nearly as fast as a seaplane, I can't see why they would struggle to get business.

The geography really plays against service to Victoria harbour even if it is a better destination on paper.
This service at 70 min takes 3.5 times longer than Helijet/Harbour Air and is 2.5 times faster than taking public transit bus & BC Ferries.
The V2V service took 6 times longer than Helijet/Harbout Air but only 30min faster than taking public transit bus & BC Ferries.
