NYC Ferry in New York
The ferries on the Hudson River and East River in New York, known as NYC Ferry, take you cheaply and easily to and from Manhattan. Do you want to visit Brooklyn or Queens? Or are you staying in a hotel in Long Island City? Then cross the East River on a ferry take in great views of the skyline along the way. The ferries are a nice alternative to the, often busy, subway. With NYC Ferry you travel for the same price as the subway with the added benefit of the Manhattan skyline views during the journey. Tickets for NYC Ferry Tickets for NYC Ferry cost $2.75 per ride and can be purchased from the ticket machines which are located at each dock. Tickets are also available via the NYC Ferry app. The cost of taking the ferry is the same as taking the subway, however, subway tickets can not be used for the ferries. The ferry service is certainly a nice addition to the subway. Do bear in mind that the boats are less frequent than the subway, so you may have to wait a little longer. The ferries are also commonly used by commuters. Therefore, I recommend avoiding morning and afternoon rush hours as the rest of the day is much calmer.
