Justin Brannan Thinks NYC Should Subsidize Ferry Rides From Brooklyn to Staten Island

Justin Brannan, who represents Bay Ridge to Coney Island wants a ferry from Brooklyn to Staten Island, while residents in Coney Island have been waiting for a ferry for years. See here:

NYC Ferry proposes route changes that would connect Brooklyn and Staten Island

The Ferry is highly subsidized by the city. People pay $4.50 a ride, but NYC pays $8.55 per trip. Source: https://is.gd/agtUwX

In 2022, we found out that NYC subsidized the ferry with a lot more money than they initially claimed was the cost. So now things are cheaper? C’mon. See link:

Why wouldn’t the head of NYC Council Finance, Justin Brannan know this?

The Manhattan Institute said the EDC understated the cost by a quarter of a billion dollars. Info:
