点评:Decided to try crossing here a a scenic alternative to taking the 40 and crossing a Montreal bridge. Traffic backed up onto the shoulder of the main road meant a 15 minute wait. Bought the tickets online while I waited which was more painful and invasive than it should be in 2025 (a lot of personal information required and an account setup for a service I will use once…). When I got to the main booth they scanned my ticket and told me to wait in the second last line. We waited an hour. When boat arrived and loaded, every line except the last two (including mine) went on board, meaning I was facing another hour wait on top of the 1 hour 15 I had already waited. It was supper time by this point and that didn’t work for me so I asked the attendant and he said I could leave through a side exit and ask for a refund online. I did that and filed a refund request. Surprise: once they scan your ticket their policy is that you can’t get a refund. I find this frankly unacceptable to be charged for a service you don’t receive and not have a refund. I paid 18 bucks to wait in a car lineup for 1h30. Not impressed. Be aware of this before you buy or commit to wait.
翻译:决定尝试从这里过河,这是一种风景优美的替代方式,而不是走 40 号公路穿过蒙特利尔大桥。交通堵塞到主干道的路肩,意味着要等 15 分钟。我一边等一边在网上买票,这比 2025 年的情况更痛苦、更麻烦(需要提供大量个人信息,还要为我只会用一次的服务设置账户……)。当我到达主售票处时,他们扫描了我的票,告诉我在倒数第二排等候。我们等了一个小时。船到达并装好后,除了最后两条线(包括我的)之外,其他所有线都登船了,这意味着我在已经等了 1 小时 15 分钟的基础上还要再等一个小时。这时已经是晚饭时间了,但这行不通,所以我问了服务员,他说我可以从侧门离开,然后在网上申请退款。我照做了,并提交了退款申请。令人惊讶的是:一旦他们扫描了你的票,他们的政策就是你不能获得退款。坦白说,我觉得这种服务根本没用,却要收费,而且不退款,实在让人无法接受。我花了18美元排队等了1个半小时,真是糟糕透了。购买或等待之前一定要注意这一点。
