Service is provided on weekdays (except major holidays) year-round. Service has run hourly since 2020, however there was half-hourly service before 2020. Weekend service was provided during the summer up until 2019, however due to COVID-19, summer weekend service was not provided in the summers of 2020, 2021, or 2022.[2][3] It is unclear if summer weekend service will resume in 2023. All transfers (except transfers involving the free Downtown Connection bus at the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal) are paid as each system runs independently. Fares are $10 one-way from Manhattan to either New Jersey dock, and $2 one way between Warren Street and Liberty Landing. Discounts for seniors and children, as well as ten-trip and monthly passes, are available.[4] Interstate fares were raised from $7 to $10 in January 2023, the first fare hike since at least 2010.[5][6][7]

Route

The ferry operates a roughly 15-minute route

Upper New York Bay. It crosses the river in a northeasterly direction, affording views of the Communipaw Terminal in Liberty State Park, Downtown Jersey City, and Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. It then pulls into the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal, usually utilizing slip 2, which is shared with NYC Ferry's SG Route, as well as NY Waterway services to Port Imperial and Hoboken 14th Street. The ferry then does the same trip in reverse, stops at Warren Street, and terminates back at the Liberty Landing Marina, where the boat lays over for 30 minutes before departing on the next roundtrip.[9]
