Maybe he got confused by the state in Australia. Or he's originally British and thinks all the colonies are the same.

BC Ferries looks to ban passengers from staying on bottom decks during sailings - BC | Globalnews.ca

When I pay BC Ferries $250 to cross towing my trailer, guess I'll have to close to curtains so they can't see me in there...

If their business model primarily targeted people living in the lower mainland and on Vancouver Island, it might be a different story.

A private company running a passenger ferry shuttle service between Vancouver and Victoria has announced there will be no more sailings, effective immediately.

The luxury transportation company, V2V Vacations, owned by an Australian marine company, launched three years ago in 2017. It had offered daily sailings between March and October, in a self-described "premium cruise experience" between the two downtown cores.

Julian Wright, the general manager for the company, said the ferry service was not able to break even fast enough.

"Unfortunately whilst we had some wonderful financial gains last year ... and wonderful guest feedback on the product, [the board] saw it as not enough of a gain or an improvement in position to justify continued investment in the service," Wright told host Kathryn Marlow on CBC's All Points West.
As RS predicted.
