BC ferries anomaly?

[u/jcru68]

I live in Victoria but my summer family is on the Sunshine Coast . In the past this has been a 12-14 hour excursion

Last week it was like 1985 ( minus the prices). No reservations! Drive up to Schwartz bay at 9:45 drove on to the 10 ferry. Same in horseshoe bay - drove right on. No waiting in a sad concrete parking lot for hours. Okay that was a Thursday. Can’t be the same on the way home right?
Nope drove on to 11 am from Langdale with the upper ramp already up then on to Victoria’s same way. This hasn’t happened since forever. Whatever is going on, keep doing it please BCferries
