If this is successful, it could be a precursor to a 'fixed-link' to the Sunshine Coast.
Maybe this sort of operation should be subsidized.
We used to have direct ferry connections from Downtown to the outlying islands of BC, and having direct transit connections (rather than taking a bus to the ferry terminals) has its uses and would likely spur demand.
To go from Horseshoe Bay to Gibsons 1-way by foot costs ~$15.
Add the transit fare to that, and you're paying an extra $12-13 to save 15-20 min and take a single-seat ride.
You could probably get that to $20 if you had a subsidized ticket (like BC Ferries is), reducing the delta to $5.
