As is the case every holiday season, the terminals are packed at BC Ferries. To help avoid any major delays or back-ups, BC Ferries will be adding more than 100 sailings to its major routes.
In total, 136 additional trips are scheduled between December 21 through January 3. Ninety-eight extra sailings will be provided on the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route, which is the busiest route. Thirty-eight additional sailings have also been scheduled on the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route during peak times.
December 23 is expected to be the busiest pre-Christmas travel day. Post-Christmas, heavy traffic is expected December 26 – 28 – with December 27 being the busiest day of the holiday season.
