BC Ferries is lowering minimum load values for its Experience Card by $10 for foot passengers and $20 for vehicles.
Effective April 1, the new fee will be $55 for passenger-only travel, down from $65, and the minimum load limit for vehicle and passenger travel goes from $115 to $95.
The card allows passengers to access savings on fares by loading minimum stored value amounts on participating routes.
The reduced rates will affect all three routes out of Powell River, including to Comox, Texada and Earls Cove.
In order to implement the adjustments, BC ferries will shut down the online auto-load feature on April 1 at 12 am. Card holders will need to re-enable auto load after April 1.
