Could the Hullo ferry transform Nanaimo into the public transit hub of Vancouver Island?
Urban planner and self described transit nerd Denis Agar thinks so.
He worked at trans link for a decade before leaving to become executive director of a non profit transit advocacy group called Movement.
The Hullo is run by the Vancouver Island Ferry Company.
It’s been sailing for over a year as of mid August, offering passenger only trips between the cruise ship terminal in Nanaimo and Canada Place in Vancouver
It’s the final long weekend of the summer and the BC government issued a release advising drivers to plan ahead with heavy traffic and congestion expected on B.C.’s most popular routes.
Agar says fundamentally, his hub proposal would mean people could get around Vancouver Island without a car.
