'Blue subway': New bill seeks to restore Staten Island-Brooklyn ferry service * Brooklyn Paper
Briefly

NYC Council members Justin Brannan and Kamillah Hanks have introduced a bill to restore ferry service between Staten Island and Brooklyn, linking the Bay Ridge and St. George terminals. This initiative aims to improve access to the NYC Ferry network, offering connections to Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. The plan seeks to utilize existing infrastructure and reduce traffic congestion, as well as carbon emissions. Local leaders emphasize that restoring this ferry service is a return to a vital transportation link that was lost decades ago, enhancing transit efficiency for residents.
This bill brings us one step closer to reestablishing that vital link - restoring a smarter, faster and more resilient option for commuters and families who deserve better than traffic jams and endless bus transfers.
Reestablishing the St. George-Bay Ridge ferry restores a direct, logical connection that should have never been lost.
