Just something I'm curious about, and there's no answer on the BC Ferries website...
Does anyone know when the ticket booths open at the major terminals in the morning?
It's been a loooong time since I took the 5:15am sailing from Tsawwassen to Duke Point. I think I used to get there around 4:30, and I don't recall sitting waiting. Swartz has a departure to the Gulf Islands just after 5 as well. I'm assuming that the reason the 'Capilano deadheads to Bowen for the first sailing is the lack of traffic from the mainland at that time, so no reason to open ticket sales for virtually no one. I'm guessing that it might be one hour before the first sailing that the terminals open, but maybe it's earlier.

Especially because resos have to check in 30-60 minutes before sailing time. I know Duke Pt opens at 04:15, and traffic is already lined up at the booths that are labelled as "opening at xx:xx".
