30 minute hovercraft service between Niagara Region, Toronto expected in Summer of 2023
Hovercraft technology has been in use across most regions of the world, particularly the U.K., U.S. and Canada, for decades with practical uses tied to militaries and coast guards.
The vehicles can travel across land, ice and water, in virtually all-weather conditions and temperatures. “We cannot wait to finally provide a fast, reliable and sustainable transportation solution that connects tourists and commuters in only 30 minutes,” founder and CEO Chris Morgan said. “There is already an incredible amount of interest in the project, and we look forward to speaking with more people in the weeks and months ahead.”WI-Fi and shuttle bus service will be included in fares.
Niagara Region receives an estimated 13 million tourists per year with 92 per cent arriving in a vehicle. Toronto also gets over 27.5 million visitors annually, according to Hoverlink.Ideas for a cross-lake commuter service have been floated for years, but none has ever found success. A fast-ferry service from Toronto to Rochester, N.Y., ran briefly in 2004, but eventually failed due to financial troubles.
