Toronto's ferry rides to Centre Island will now be carrying 200 more passengers to adjust to the growing number of riders expected for the summer.

The City of Toronto announced Monday that the Toronto Island Ferries will now be carrying 950 passengers, up from approximately 750 people the ferries used to carry, according to a news release. This means that over 5,000 people will now be riding the ferries per hour, up from about 3,700 per hour.

This announcement came in response to the growing ridership and increased waiting time the city has seen for the ferries that depart from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.
