New York City’s ferry service is set to get cheaper for at least 1 million New Yorkers and pricier for tourists.
New York City’s ferry service is set to get cheaper for at least 1 million New Yorkers and pricier for tourists, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.
This fare increase for some is to offset the lower cost for low-income New Yorkers and help fund the ferry system, Adams said. New Yorkers must purchase 10-trip packs for $27.50 to keep the ferry ticket price the same for them. The city is also lifting the $1.00 bike fee on ferry tickets. “Everything we are doing is driving towards bringing that subsidy gap down,” Andrew Kimball, president and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation, said on Thursday in response to the audit’s findings. “But we also live in the real world […] we’re in a hyperinflationary moment - I don’t know what the outcome is going to be.”
