City to sell Island Ferry tickets online

The City of Toronto is rushing into the 21st Century! As early as January you might be able to buy tickets for the Toronto Island ferry online, The Star reports. The Toronto islands are a welcome respite from the city but many people are put off by the long lines for tickets during the summer months. The Star says that the city plans to hire a company to build a dedicated website that would sell tickets online, allowing passengers to go straight through the pre-purchase line. The contract is valued at $588,908.
