. said it’s in the final stages of approval for the project, set to launch in summer 2023.
“We cannot wait to finally provide a fast, reliable and sustainable transportation solution that connects tourists and commuters in only 30 minutes.” “The crafts hover on a cushion of air above the water, so they leave [..] no wake or wash,” the release said, adding the noise decibel omitted by the machines is less than a household dishwasher.
How much will this cost? I'll just stick to driving...
Safely.
How do you get around once you arrive?
Port Weller in St Catharines is a hot spot for all those tourists 🤔
Is it 30 minutes or free?
Imagine arriving in St. Catherines without a car… nope.
Mayor Miller got rid of it because he was anti-American.
What we need to get is a boat that will take vehicles from GTA over to Niagara Region- imagine the relief on the roads by simply offering this service. Perhaps even doing two runs, one mid point and then the other Niagara/St.Catharines and then back to Toronto. onpoli
Every few years, the same announcement for a different doomed enterprise.
Add Rochester too!
Why? Is there a demand? Or is this just another Steven DelDuca situation where a government official wants to make it easier to get home
This is amazing. So much better than the drive!
Great. But guaranteed they price it so it’s not worth it. Which will kill passenger numbers before they can grow and in turn it doesn’t last more than 2 seasons tops
Looked like a good idea on the 'how do we reduce traffic' whiteboard....'Hey, Larry has an idea!'
Who goes to st Catherine’s? That’s a dump.
What the heck is in St Catharines? When I am on the QEW passing St Catharines, I speed up
Heard this story before
How much are the fares
Was tried yrs ago, didn't last. This won't last either.
TomTSEC been waiting decades for this since conception
Oh great. Now I can visit St. Catherine’s!!!
If this works, Niagara real estate will sky rocket
Is it electric?
Is Summer 2023 'soon'?
They tried this in the 90s? It went bankrupt in months?
I rather they resumed the Rochester ferry or a similar New York destination, it would cut driving down to NYC by hours. Also, no vehicles on this hovercraft, so what's the point?
