Yes, but Vancouver Island, unless it has changed a great deal since I lived 
there, has many, many ferries to other islands, from one place on the island to 
another, and to the mainland, and even down to Washington State.  So the Island 
Highway may represent the NAB feed, but you have helicopters, and ferries, and 
airplanes.

BTW some day, I'll have to bend your ear on the subject of the Dorman Pulp 
Mill, Cassidy Helicopters, the wife swapping ring, and the local Maoist sect, 
the Parksville RCMP station and the water pipes feeding the Mac & Blo Mill at 
Cedar.  A nice, colourful Vancouver Island story. :-)
