Ferry trips to and from Prince of Wales Island will be a little bit more expensive starting later this month. The Inter-Island Ferry Authority says it’s hiking its rates for people who buy their tickets in person, over the phone or by email.
IFA General Manager Ron Curtis says a 6% surcharge on online ferry reservations means it’s currently cheaper to call or email the office or purchase a ticket in person.
