Quote of the Day
|
“These changes will likely result in increased wait times and congestion at both terminals, impacting our ability to serve travelers effectively. Implementing a year-round reservation-only system is anticipated to alleviate some of this congestion, ensuring that Island residents and visitors can secure travel plans without the uncertainty in overcrowded conditions.”
—Allison Fletcher of the Steamship Authority on a strategy for shorter wait times
