BCFerries made fast ferries a couple decades ago but it was a disaster that's in Egypt now, it's unsafe to operate vessels of that size much faster than they already are in such restricted waterways. 0:48 Who cares that the QoNW is old? if it runs without any issues there's no problems with it. 1:47 The route there runs though land that is too inhospitable to make a road plus the low population of the central coast of B.C. 2:56 I've been on the Mayne Queen a lot and those seats are actually quite comfortable; lots of legroom :)
clearly hasn't been to the Vancouver area, your saying to build a railroad, on a 90% grade.... for instance some of the steapist railroads in Switzerland have a grade of 48% in some parts.
I disagree with you. If ships go too fast they can wreak dock and other stuff. This ended up happening in the late 1990s with there fast ferry so if they go to fast, it will cost the company millions. I think you should change your opinion about bc ferries and do some more research. Plus you can’t put a whole train across a large body of water, that’s why we need ferries. I’m also part of the community that loves ferry’s.
Man, seems like this guy doesn’t know enough about ferries to appreciate them 😂. Why don’t you take a ride on one and see how cool they are. (I also think you should get a better opinion)
I understand if you have bad days with B.C. Ferries, the long waits overloads and lineups are hell but it’s OK so chill out dude. Doesn’t matter how old they are, if they run well, and if they have good on-time performance and reliability on their routes they can stay in service as long as possible. Don’t care if the QoNW is old, I was a Mayne Queen fan myself before she was retired ❤️ 😁The Island-Class and Salish-Class vessels coming online to replace older ferries are some of the most advanced ferry designs in the world! They don’t have high top speeds as they have operate in restricted waterways like Active Pass where reduced speed is a necessity 🙂
Yeah they're the only ones worse than BC Ferries. Imagine keeping a boat in service for so long that the coast guard has to come in and intervene. Like dude just let the thing rest already!
He made this video because I showed him the queen of new Westminster. He originally thought that every ferry somehow went over 50mph. When I was on the queen of new Westminster he didn’t stop complaining on a discord call about how slow it was.
From this videos comment section, the video itself, and the date it was posted on, I'm still unsure if its meant to be taken as a toke or as your critical opinion on the subject matter.
He thinks that our entire province is stuck in the 1960s. I made the mistake of going on the queen of new Westminster when I was filling in on the duke point route and then frowny calls me on discord and then complains the whole way back about how slow they are.
you don't understand how ships work. its slow because of hydrodynamics and not every ship can go ss united states speed. by that logic, every ferry sucks. also the Shinkansen is not in service because its outdated and bad, but the new west is upgraded and is still working. its a good thing that she is not in a museum because it can stay serving its porpoise unlike the dumb Japanize train. you also don't know about mountains witch is why there is no railroad(also trains are relics so that's why) i do agree that the Mayne queen costume is stupid and the Mayne queen sucks so much i did an entire video on that. also building a railroad would be expensive and the ferry is more cost affective. once again the bc ferries ships go average speed for ships. also you've clearly never been to bc. btw i know that friend and he is the reason i made my Mayne queen video so i get why you made this XD
Exactly my point! There's no need to keep the Shinkansen 0 series in service because a new and improved train has since taken over. BC Ferries don't even know what "new and improved" means.
@@Frowny13 does it even matter? They're lovely ships. I spent my childhood taking them to Vancouver Island to see my relatives. If your a train guy, stick to trains.

my friend is the captain of the ferries its for wild life safety if you hate bc ferries fly on pacific coastal air lines I love bc ferries so much
I love bc ferries to I’m a literal nerd of bc ferries

i didn't mind the speed or age of the B.C. ferries their special but expensive now days 😊
0:23 ‘Queen of cucumbers’
You need to go on one plus your channel is about trains. You can’t just build a bridge across an ocean
If you have to complain about a ferry, choose the cumberland to complain about. Also known as the Queen of Cucumber.
Jesus man, This infuriates me so much… Don’t be a train nerd irritating us boat guys😊

washington state ferries have 60 old ferries

Bruh really B.C. ferries are literally the best u just haven’t been on the B.C. coast😒 like chill dude there supposed to run for 50+ years
They’re SOOOOO OLDDDDDDD
Because no government funding, help us please@@Frowny13
oh well, you can two hours to get to the island
how fast do you want them? those are all good speeds for ships

It’s both. Some jokes and some critical opinions.
tell me you know nothing about ferries or the logistics of transit in British Columbia 😭
Well I know one thing about ferries! They’re SOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOWWWWW

People like you are exactly the reason why this video exists 🤦🏻♂️
@@Frowny13 people who know what there talking about and have seen the bc terrain? April fools is over 😂
Ladies, Ladies, how about a bus line?
@@justanormalpokemon4014 no!
Second worst type of transport yet still faster than a ferry lol.
1:01 not an expert at trains but isnt the reason that its in a museum be the fact jpan has made better trains?
Exactly my point! There's no need to keep the Shinkansen 0 series in service because a new and improved train has since taken over. BC Ferries don't even know what "new and improved" means.
Litterally the Salish and Coastal classes@Frowny13
and my favrit bc ferry happens to be the queen of alberni! no matter what speed she goes at!
Haha, you should've talked about the prices!
Clearly some of y’all didn’t check the date that this video was made for. Take a joke
sorry bro but i feel insalted about that but it is worth it because the coast is nice!
ITS
A
FUCKING
FERRY
A
BIG
FERRY
CAN
NOT
GO
FAST
ITS
SO
BLOODY
SLOWWWWWWWWWWW
@@Frowny13they tryed to make a fast ferry but it mad a way to big wake. It wrecked docks
i build a model
I enjoy being on the ferries so I don't care.
But how! They’re SO SLOWWWWWWW!
@@Frowny13 does it even matter? They're lovely ships. I spent my childhood taking them to Vancouver Island to see my relatives. If your a train guy, stick to trains.
@@Frowny13 not really practical to go fast near mountainous terrain
Time for a bridge
No they aren’t slow and that bad
If that was the case I wouldn’t’ve made this video.
@@Frowny13 You are a bad man
Muhahahahaha
@@Frowny13 hydrodynamics!
sydney ferries superior 💪
Its not rubbish
Well they wouldn’t be if they knew how to travel at a speed other than slow.
That’s brilliant!
This is rather a STUPID OPINION.
Well BC Ferries is a rather STUPID COMPANY
Like I mean, WHO WOULD WEAR A STUPID BOAT AS A COSTUME!
I agree for you queen of new Westminster opinion
Bro, you just had a bad day
