I've just been told that today Coastal Express takes over Island Ferry, so there will again be a monopoly service on-island just as there is off-island. I wonder what will happen to fares and the service?

The Fares go up the quality of service goes down.

Maybe he will confess, for his leading roll, to hide the truth for all the years and protect abuser and not the victims.

The off island guys insist that they are totally separate. Don't even accept each others tickets...

Maybe just a collusion situation.

Confirmed by many sources that Island Ferry stopped running today. It was purchsed by Coastal Express.

Did we loose ACER in the bargain?

CoastalXpress is taking on the ACER responsibilities and will be honoring all Island Ferry passes through May 8th, 2010. follow us @CoastalXpress http://twitter.com/CoastalXpress

I hope you keep posting here, the we don't need twitter...

Just to correct a misconception: Coastal express did not buy Island Ferry. Island Ferry went out of business. We did buy most of their boats however, since we need boats.

Will CostalExpress offer a service to Belize City?
