24/7 30 Minute Ferry Service

Avatar: Community Member Community Member

What problem would you like to solve?

The Staten Island overnight ferry service is so unreliable and inconsistent. I want it to run every 30 minutes instead of every hour.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

To make sure people get home safe. Also, it is very hard to make a connection to the bus, which also runs too infrequently on Staten Island. We need better public transportation on Staten Island.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Hire more ferry workers, and pay them more.

Who would that help?

People who depend on the ferry, and ferry workers.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Staten Island
