A crippled reservation system dependent on ferries that are constantly late and/or breaking down, and they want to raise prices? At the time of writing there are two broken down ferries (after having prices hiked to pay for a brand new one that breaks down too often) and reservations aren't being honored with no date given for normal service to resume, and it is at this exact time that they are once again in meetings talking about price hikes. We're getting worse and less service than ever before--and despite the fact that somehow the ding dong that was quoted to comment on prices in the article somehow didn't bat a lash at spending likely $100 to get his family trip up to the islands--it's not affordable or reliable if you live here. If you only come up to visit one time a year, than yeah it's a lot cheaper than flying. If you're local and have to make trips on and off...that's some serious cumulative dough. Cut the BS and get real, WSF!
