Bay Ridge Ferry to Staten Island Starts 12/8
Starting December 8th, you will be able to get the ferry at the 69th Street pier (on Shore Road) and take the ferry to Staten Island.
This will be good for people who live in Staten Island, but want to send their children to Xaverian High School as the pier is in walking distance to the school.
This ferry is subsidized by tax dollars. According to the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT, 2024), annual operating expenses for the Staten Island ferry exceed $100 million.
A ride on this ferry will cost 4.50 each way. (Some Ridgites thought it was the same cost as the bus or train) It’s $1.45 for seniors, students and people with disabilities. Frequent users would benefit from buying a 10-pack for $29.
I think someone had free lunch here.
