May I please have $10 for your failure to meet your schedule!
Thank you
Steve brings up a fair point.. accountability is comunitive.
I paid attention in one of my math classes..
if the WSF system wants financial commitments of its riders, why not be reciprocal of said same commitments??
I’m not trying to be silly, but maybe our wonderful providers need to be looking from the 20,000′ leval.. maybe they are and we just haven’t seen the rollout of that vision.
One thing for sure, I think the concern of overgrowth of our neighboring islands will be checkmarked with this ongoing situation.
So maybe I should be thanking them!!
Cheers!!
Since the ferry system has the credit card numbers for anyone who held a reservation on one of these canceled sailings, it has the capacity to issue credits to all those whose plans were mangled by yet another mechanical breakdown. So if you failed to show for a reservation because of a mechanical problem with your car, would the system charge you a “no show” fee?
