Good news for those not going out of town on this holiday weekend.
In efforts to shorten lineups and make it easier to get to the Toronto Islands, the city’s announced a way to get ferry tickets online for the month of August.
Staring Saturday July 30, you can either buy them at the city’s website or through the Ritual app, then printing at home or displaying on a smartphone, and heading straight to the terminal gates.
There will also be one kiosk, number 9, dedicated exclusively to pre-purchased tickets.
The city will also provide more signs and staff to ensure passengers get to the express kiosk.
Last year, 1.3-million visited the Islands.
That number’s expected to increase by as much as 15 percent this year.
