This Post was inspired by a recent article at The Nova Scotia Business Journal.
Acted upon due to my, and I believe our, growing frustration at Bay Ferries ever changing schedule and growing list of excuses.
Oh how we lament: How many lives can the CAT have left!
Loosing our precious Bluenose and those precious people who served us for so many wonderful years was more of a blow than we ever thought possible!
Reading this you may think that it’s impossible for us to loose even more! Yet, I predict that if something is not done, it will happen!
Though we strive to make Yarmouth County a true destination we have to put up with those who just don’t understand.
The fall and spring tourism seasons are growing in most places as the Baby Boomers age and retire. They are the biggest bubble to flow through in the past hundred years and now they are Grand Parents who often baby sit their Grand Children in the summer and travel during the spring and fall seasons.
As for winter their are many winter sports and other activities that would draw people to our area if they had reliable transportation and infrastructure to get here!
Yet, all we hear is the CAT whining that their are fewer and fewer people coming and so they continue to shorten the season.
It is really all quite easy to figure out!
If people have a reliable means of transportation and improved infrastructure to support their habits and that they can depend on year after year they will come more, and more often!
However, if every year the schedule changes, shortens, and becomes less efficient, then the would be travellers learn they can not depend on the service and stop using it. If it continues they’ll stop using it altogether!
How many lives can the CAT have left!
How many more lives will be affected if they don’t stop their whining and provide some real service.
How long will they continue to promote a short seasonal sub tropic vessel that can simply not handle our North Atlantic waters!?
When will we get a real boat? A company who understands the local economy, what it takes to become a real destination, and the marketing skills to survive!???
Oh how we lament! How many lives can the CAT have left!
