Good news for commuters -- another ferry is back in service, and not
only is service resuming from Edgewater, but commuters are also getting a new
stop.
It all starts today. New York Waterway is resuming its ferry service
from Edgewater to midtown and now also to downtown -- the newly added stop for
the Edgewater Ferry Service.
"We are thrilled to bring back our Edgewater ferry and welcome back
both longtime riders and new customers considering commuting by ferry for the
first time,” says Armand
Pohan, president of New
York Waterway.
The ferries will run every 40 minutes from the Edgewater ferry landing. Midtown
customers will stop at Port Imperial to transfer to the midtown ferry, and for
the new downtown commute, the ferries continue into downtown.
It’s a great option for
anyone ready to experience New York City again in our new normal. Edgewater
Mayor Michael McPartland is encouraging that.
"Let's all get on a ferry and go to work, go to dinner, see a
Broadway show, or just walk around taking in all of the sights, sounds, and
smells of New York City, and then take a ferry back to Edgewater, the world's
greatest small town."
The mayor of Fort Lee has confirmed the city will continue to provide
free bus service to and from the Edgewater ferry landing.
