BC Transit is not the only organization struggling with worker shortages and cancelling services.

BC Ferries had to charter three round-trip flights between Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii last week following a COVID-19 outbreak among employees working that route.

There were not enough crew members to keep passengers safe in case of an emergency, as per Transport Canada regulations, according to the corporation.
