How to use the ferry

Before you travel

Getting on the ferry

  • At the ferry terminal, line up along the walkway on the left.
  • Give way to exiting passengers.
  • Board the service when the ferry master signals it is safe to do so.
  • When you board, touch your go card to the card reader, show your pre-purchased ticket to the ticket seller, or buy a ticket on board - how to buy a ticket.

Travelling on the ferry

  • After boarding, find a seat either inside or in a designated outdoor area.
  • If no seats are available, hold on to a fitted safety handle or barrier.
  • Always offer your seat to passengers with special needs, such as a person with a disability.
  • Depending on your destination, you may be required to exit from the front or back of the ferry - an announcement will be made to notify you.
  • Touch your go card to the card reader as you leave the service.
