What is the BC Ferries Coast Card and how does it work?

The Coast Card is an electronic swipe card that can be used by customers to redeem current Assured Loading Tickets (ALTs) only. ALTs provide priority travel on three major Vancouver Island/Mainland routes. Participating routes include:

• Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay 
• Tsawwassen-Duke Point 
• Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay

• ALTs expire 2 years after the month of purchase.
• Once your tickets expire they cannot be used for travel.
• The value of expired ALTs is not refundable and may only be used toward the purchase of a new set of ALTs for a period of six (6) months after expiry.
• It is your responsibility to decide when you will use your ALTs.
• ALT travel is exempt from any regular discounts such as senior, student or disabled fares.
• BC Ferries reserves the right to limit the number of ALT spaces per sailing.
