3 According to the
BC Ferry Commissioner, the calculation of the average fare is complicated for several reasons. One is the way the legislation is framed (seven separate route groups, a price cap that lifts part way through a quarter, and the offside determination which allows the operator some leeway before coming back onside). Another factor is the heterogeneity of traffic types and absolute fare values, and significant seasonal variation. Accordingly and with expert advice, the Ferry Commissioner chose to produce an index of yield which uses revenue-weighted yield growth smoothed by using four-quarter totals of revenue and volume as inputs.
