Starting today, single rides for passengers on the NYC ferry system will now cost $4, up from $2.75. The changes were announced by Mayor Eric Adams in July in an effort to rein in spending by NYC Ferry, which has operated in the red since its creation.

City Hall estimates the changes in ticket price will bring the city an additional $2 million in revenue, though that will only make a small dent on theAs of Monday, ten-packs of ferry tickets now cost $27.50, bringing the price for regular commuters back to $2.75, though the tickets have to be used within 90 days of purchase.

New Yorkers with disabilities, senior citizens and anyone currently enrolled in the city’s Fair Fares program, which provides discounted MetroCards for low-income residents, are eligible for further discounted rides of $1.35.

That’s sucks 😡

You forgot to tweet that people won't be charged a fee to bring their bikes on the transit yachts. So hipster gentrifiers will be taking up more space & the city and the shitty boats will wind up losing more money from fares You can make the fare 15 dollars and it still be broke

Wow, just what we need another price hike. Thank you Major Adams.

Doesn't the ferry actually cost the MTA like $25 a ride, and only connect the richest neighborhoods in NYC? Imagining how much more useful the Brooklyn Queens Connector would be.

Can't believe they would do this to the elites who regularly ride the thing. Don't they realize how liberals are when it comes to their own money? They wouldn't dare fiddle with the property tax would they?

Paying $4 for a ride that costs $12 to provide is a good deal

Purchased 10 on Saturday and they're good for a year

This is BS

Bring back the contactless concessions and then make the concessions fully loaded tater tots and we'll talk

They should cancel the whole lot and send those funds to the busses or subway

So back where it was before BilldeBlasio made it a cozy giveaway to Hornblower?
