LETTER: Ferry service isn’t getting a real trial

Dear Editor: I am happy to read that the city is finally proceeding with the trial run of the Q2Q ferry. This is a much-needed service for customers and staff of our downtown businesses and it is also a great way to get people out of vehicle traffic.

Dear Editor:

I am happy to read that the city is finally proceeding with the trial run of the Q2Q ferry.

This is a much-needed service for customers and staff of our downtown businesses and it is also a great way to get people out of vehicle traffic.

That said, I am confused by the scheduling of the service. Sundays (weekends) and holiday Mondays?

It would have been nice if Lisa Leblanc explained how these days will give us a fair assessment of use and frequency of travel. It looks like the city is setting this up to fail. The majority of people using the service on weekends will be tourists. It would be better if the city had the trial run for everyday of summer to get a good read of its use.
