The proposed Greenline ferry service would carry foot passengers from downtown Vancouver to Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast within two years .

Greenline CEO Callum Campbell says the company has already sourced the estimated $60 million in financing to purchase two electric passenger ferries and the three charging stations the service would require.

Vancouver city councillor Rebecca Bligh says the project would carry about 1,000 passengers a day, eliminating 500 car trips and slashing the carbon emissions equivalent to about eight-million kilometres of driving per year.
