Her mom says her daughter didn’t have any other options, as she had to wait until the bank opened the next day to access money she had sent her.
Today, BC Ferries is trying to clear up the misunderstanding and admits they could have handled the situation better.
“I think this situation was unfortunate, there was a miscommunication that our staff was not aware that this woman didn’t have any other options to get home,” says Deborah Marshall, BC Ferries spokesperson.
