Jul 08, 2010
(News Release) VICTORIA – BC Ferries will be piloting a free wireless Internet service on all ships servicing the Tsawwassen – Swartz Bay route, as well as at these two major terminals. The service will enable our customers to text, email and browse the Internet.
The company just launched the Wi-Fi pilot on the four vessels servicing the busiest route in the fleet. Free wireless Internet is now available in the buffet, Seawest Lounge, as well as most of the passenger lounges on the ships. In addition, Wi-Fi is also accessible to customers at the Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay terminals.
“Customers have requested Internet access and we are pleased to offer our passengers free Wi-Fi when they travel with us,” said Geoff Dickson, BC Ferries’ Vice President of Catering and Retail Operations. “Now the crossing can be more productive for business travellers and for others just wanting to surf the Internet.”
This service is currently being tested on the Tsawwassen – Swartz Bay route. BC Ferries looks forward to expanding Internet on board the Horseshoe Bay – Departure Bay and Tsawwassen – Duke Point routes in the near future.
