According to Billy Bishop, the commute is less than 2 minutes.
“Travelling a distance of 121 metres across the Western gap, the trip takes about 90 seconds, making the ferry ride to and from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport one of the shortest in the world.”
That’s not the only cool part about the ferry either. Billy Bishop states that the ferry, called Marilyn Bell, is 100 percent electric powered and is Canada’s first truly zero emission, lithium-ion electric ferry.
A quick ride and environmentally friendly, we love to see it.
The ferry departs from the foot of Bathurst Street and is totally free for pedestrians or $15 for vehicles (return trip).
The quick turnaround makes for frequent trips with the ferry schedule running from 05:15 AM- 12:07 AM daily and ferry crossings every 15 minutes.
So next time you have to fly out of Billy Bishop in Toronto, why not take one of the shortest ferry rides in the world while you’re at it?!
