And from Duke Point to Tsawwassen, there is a one-sailing wait both ways. All of the sailing waits are for people without reservations.
The wait is not entirely unexpected for drivers. There were significant lines at the Friday, including a four-sailing wait from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay.
B.C. Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall said Friday the long waits were due to a combination of factors, including weekends events like the Tour de Victoria and travelling patterns as families go on vacation or head back from their destinations.
