BC Ferries is gearing up for the hundreds of thousands of passengers it expects to transport over the May long weekend with extra sailings and staff.

They’ve recently hired 500 new employees and are aiming to reduce weekend waits with 110 additional sailings.

Despite the additions, vehicle reservations for the main routes are almost entirely booked as of yesterday. BC Ferries suggests that anyone who is able to, travel at off-peak days and times.

They also recommend travelers carpool or walk on as passengers, if possible, and arrive early even if they have booked in advance.
