Ferries
The Staten Island Ferry is a model for linked bicycle-transit in New York, providing a reliable and lovely ride at no extra charge to the cyclist. The Hoboken-Battery Park Ferry allows bikes on board at all times; the Weehawken-Midtown ferry charges $1 for bicycles off-peak and bars bikes during rush hours. In early 1993, Transportation Alternatives was attempting to convince city and state officials to make bicycle access an explicit criterion in awarding contracts to operators of proposed new ferry routes connecting Manhattan to New Jersey, Long Island and the Hudson Valley.
