The NYC Ferry system suspended service at four East River stops due to increased security restrictions for the UN General Assembly, creating transport chaos across the city.
With the UN General Assembly bringing in diplomats from around the globe, NYC experiences some of its slowest traffic, with daily 'Gridlock Alert Days' declared.
The ferry service, managed by the Economic Development Corporation, noted that disruptions would continue throughout the UN General Assembly, affecting Astoria, Soundview, and East River routes.
Disruptions in ferry services are at the discretion of the Coast Guard and Secret Service, indicating operational challenges tied to heightened security measures.
