About the terminal
Unusually for this timetable, the crossing here joins two points on the same island. Mill Bay and Brentwood Bay face each other across Saanich Inlet, twenty-five minutes apart by water, and the boat spares drivers the climb over the Malahat that the highway south takes instead. That makes it a bypass rather than an island service, carrying traffic between the Cowichan Valley and the Saanich Peninsula. Nothing else is listed from this terminal, and the nearest alternative, Swartz Bay, is eleven kilometres away by road and points at quite different places.
