Description
The Staten Island Ferry carries over 21 million passengers on a 5.2-mile (8.4 km) run that takes approximately 30 minutes each way. Service is provided 24 hours a day, every day. Each day approximately five boats transport about 66,000 passengers a day during 104 boat trips. Over 33,000 trips are made annually.
During rush hours, ferries usually run every 15- and 20-minute intervals, decreasing to 30 minutes during the mid-days and evenings. For a few hours during the early morning, usually 12 A.M. to 6 A.M., a ferry is provided once every 30 minutes. During the weekends ferries run every 30 minutes. In November 2006, additional ferries running every 30 minutes were provided during the weekend morning hours, the most significant change in the ferry schedule for about three decades. The ferries are expected to run at least every 30 minutes 24/7 as of the fall of 2015.
The ferry ride is a favorite of tourists to New York as it provides excellent views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty at no cost to riders. The ferry runs 24/7, with service continuing overnight.
