Getting There By Water The Port of Toronto (tel: (416) 863 2000; website: www.torontoport.com), located due south of the city centre, provides transportation, distribution, storage and container services to businesses in the City of Toronto and surrounding region. It links the city with the rest of the province and the Great Lakes states, as well as Eastern Canada and international destinations on the Atlantic Ocean via the St Lawrence Seaway. The port offers few facilities as it is primarily used for commercial storage and transportation. Ferry services: A publicly operated ferry (tel: (416) 392 8193; cost: C$5 return) links the city with the Toronto Islands. Trips to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake are available aboard Seaflight Hydrofoils (tel: (416) 504 8825 or (877) 504 8825; website: www.seaflight2000.com) from May to October (journey time – 1 hour 30 minutes, plus 15 minutes by coach). There are plans to link Toronto to Rochester, New York, via fast ferry, although red tape may delay this beyond 2002. Transport to the city: The Port of Toronto is located at the south end of the city centre, near Union Station (rail, subway). Numerous taxi and tram services are available. |
