About the terminal
Highway 101 reaches this stretch of mainland coast only by way of other ferries, so the town's most practical link runs west across the water rather than south along the shore. Seventeen nautical miles of the Strait of Georgia stand between Westview and Comox on Vancouver Island, an hour and twenty-five minutes of open crossing rather than the sheltered channel hop that most services on this coast make. It is the only route listed from this terminal, which puts a good deal of weight on one timetable.
