Ferry Safety Announcement Volume Reduced and Message Shortened

infrastructure · April 2020 · Baynes Sound Connector ferry

Following community petitions and complaints, the volume of the safety announcements on the Baynes Sound Connector ferry was turned down, some speakers were removed or redirected, and the announcement message was shortened by one-third. These changes are planned to be implemented by April 2020 on all short haul ferry routes.
