BC Ferries users will see an increase in fares later this month. The corporation is ending fuel rebates on fares as of Wednesday, June 27.
The decision was made due to world fuel market conditions, according to a BC Ferries statement.
The corporation uses a rebate and surcharge system to manage the volatility of fuel prices.
When world prices are lower, the effect is passed on to customers through a fuel rebate and when the cost of fuel goes up, fery users are slapped with a surcharge.
A 2.9 per cent rebate, which has been in place since 2016, is the same on all ferry routes to and from Powell River.
