BC Ferries requires reservation starting Wednesday
Starting on Wednesday, BC Ferries requires a reservation for all vehicles traveling from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo.
The reservation only applies to those sailing from the Vancouver side.
The change is due to control traffic during a multi-year construction at the Horseshoe Bay terminal.
Additionally, BC Ferries has added a new sailing-space alert tool, which sends an email if space becomes available on a previously sold-out sailing.
It has also added a separate digital waitlist tool where you can select a spot when your preferred sailings are full.
As part of the changes, a drive-up at-terminal option and reservation-only fares will not be available for the route in that direction.
