Dear Editor:

Re: First Langdale then Lions Gate Bridge? Sept. 8 Mailbox.

As much as (letter-writer) Mr. Bishop believes his examples are the “logical extent” of the argument, he fails to recognize the fact that they all have alternatives and, effectively, none are limited by capacity and schedule.

B.C. Ferries is an essential service, in its literal form, for many ferry-dependent communities. It wasn’t deemed an essential service so that visitors could be assured a visit to their vacation home (or whatever the reason may be). It was so residents of these communities (Sunshine Coast, Bowen Island, the Gulf Islands, etc.) are assured they can access the services that are not available to them, when they need to.
