The city is promising there's going to be more seats available on some of their more popular routes. Derick Waller has details.Just in time for Memorial Day weekend, New York City is launching some additional ferry service, including routes to some summertime destinations.The ferry is promising there's going to be more seats available on some of their more popular routes, including on the Rockaway route during weekday afternoons.
There's been some criticism of the ferry service because of the cost to taxpayers and the relatively low ridership. The ferry reports about 15,000 riders a day, compared to 4 million who use the subway. That is why the city is trying to encourage more people to use the ferry system, not just for trips to the beach but for daily commuting, as well.
