bc_ferries_traffic

BC Ferries vehicle and passenger traffic as BC Stats publishes it in the Monthly Tourism Indicators: thousands of vehicles and thousands of passengers, seasonally adjusted, by month or by year from 2000. Choose grain month (default) or year, a range with from and to (YYYY or YYYY-MM), and limit (default 24, the latest rows in the range). One BC Ferries figure for the province, not by route, terminal or sailing; the file does not say which routes it covers, and it is not a schedule, fare, capacity or on-time figure. Seasonally adjusted means a month is not the count carried that month. For terminals and routes on a map use ferry_terminals and ferry_routes; schedules are on bcferries.com.

Cost: 1 unit of your allowance (see Rate limits).
