Foot passengers are now able to book and prepay online on the routes between Metro Vancouver & Vancouver Island.
Booking in advance provides foot passengers with travel certainty and a faster check-in process at the terminal.

BC Ferries says those who have booked in advance can redeem their ticket at a self-serve kiosk or with a ticket agent.
There's no extra cost for a foot-passenger fare paid in advance.
Seniors and students are also able to book but will need to check in with a ticket agent for proof of age and student status.
BC Ferries says it will limit the number of foot-passenger bookings to start and if the website shows there are no more bookings allowed, it doesn't mean there's no space available.
