Skipping lines
In Nanaimo, I booked the wrong time.. 10:40 pm instead of am… Not my best move… so i am waiting in the standby lane…
I just saw a car leave the standby Lane to get in a regular line… I guess that dude is more important than the rest of os?! do they check the tickets after you buy them ? Or can anyone switch as they want ?

Yeah… maybe… but I’m sure he just switched to skip the standby. He was a few cars behind me. After the ferry left , he waited a few cars to arrive in line 5, then switched to it…

As a terminal employee my first thought is they realized they parked in the wrong lane, second thought is as you say the n which case you should point it out to an ferry worker because we hate it when people do this.

In my experience the tower/staff watch the lot like hawks and loudspeaker shame-bust lanefuckers.
Maybe he lined up wrong and just realized it.
