We the undersigned deplore the recent fares increases announced on the Clyde and most Argyll ferry routes and do hereby petition the Scottish Parliament to introduce a discount scheme covering all ferry fares for passenger and vehicular traffic for residents of the Clyde and Argyll Islands.
I have been reading through the stories you are all leaving here and honestly the cost of just getting home is becoming completely unmanageable for so many people. I am currently formatting these notes into a document to send over to the transport committee because they really need to see how this impacts our daily lives instead of just looking at spreadsheets.
July 8, 2008
I really never expected this to take off like it has when I was just sitting at my desk feeling completely frustrated by my latest ferry bill. It feels like people are finally noticing how impossible these travel costs have become for everyone living out here which is honestly such a huge relief.

How are we supposed to keep living here if the ferry costs more every single year. Sort it out.

Living on the island is expensive enough without these constant price hikes. It is basically a lifeline for us and we are being priced out of our own homes.

Just trying to get to a doctor appointment shouldn't cost half a weeks wages. Enough is enough.
