Hoverlink - Toronto to Niagara Hovercraft service starting 2023

[CapitalSeven]

Well Metrolinx is already studying a last mile solution for Ontario Place to Exhibition station. Hovercraft can travel over land. Simply build a ramp dock west of OP, bulldoze a strip through the rose garden and up Manitoba Drive, and you've solved two intermodal problems at once.

Or just use a BoatBus all the way!

Pretty sure swan boats are the answer here.

This is going the route of that maglev we were supposed to get at the zoo, or the gondola down to brickworks.

My speculation is, nobody looked at the calendar and only just realised that if Argos do well on Sunday, Pinball Clemons may not be in town or available for a few days.

(Some of us Argos fans are still adjusting to their making the division title)

Just in case there was someone who actually thought it might happen:
You wont be able to take a hovercraft from St. Catharines to Toronto this summer after all.

Working on the plan for "ten years", and the timeline is still longer than anticipated?

Was there much laughter?

 

[cplchanb]

is there even a hovercraft acquired for this operation?

 

[EnviroTO]

The only reason anyone would operate such a thing is a fascination with bizarre forms of transportation. How would this be better than other options like a hydrofoil? Who wants to be enclosed in a noisy claustrophobic space? If this was going across shallow water, rocks, or marsh and small portages there might be a point, but this is going across open water. I don't get it.
