Ferry service will be operating on a modified schedule and passengers can expect much longer than usual wait times for the remainder of the summer, the city said.
The number of ferries travelling between Toronto Island and the city will be reduced for the rest of the summer after a collision sent five passengers to hospital with minor injuries.
A spokesperson for the City of Toronto’s parks, forestry and recreation department said ferries between the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and Toronto Island would “be running at a reduced passenger capacity while the Sam McBride ferry is out of service.”
Ferries will continue to run to all three Toronto Island destinations: Hanlan’s Point, Ward’s Island and Centre Island.
“Lineups on both city and island side will move slower due to the reduced carrying capacity,” the spokesperson said.
