The city plans to spend $300 million over the next five years to double its ferry service.

NY Waterway will revoke licenses from boat operators who work with street sellers slinging scammy Statue of Liberty "tours."

Several councilmembers pointed out that the city's beleaguered subways and buses carry exponentially more riders than the ferry, but receive just a fraction of the per-rider subsidy.

A newly-released budget review revealed that the amount of taxpayer subsidies needed to keep the service afloat are even greater than previously known, and set to dramatically increase under a planned expansion.

'The Hornblower procurement has suffered from profoundly poor levels of disclosure, as well as a series of seemingly inexplicable decisions that are proving to be needlessly expensive to taxpayers.'

De Blasio unveiled a new Lower East Side route that will connect sea-faring commuters from Long Island City to East 34th Street, Stuyvesant Cove, Corlears Hook and Wall Street .

The Soundview ferry ride can get you to Wall Street in 45 minutes.

Starting Wednesday, there will no longer be ferry service between Manhattan and Long Island City.

De Blasio called the expansion "part of the next wave of transportation in this city."

Is this a metaphor?

The expanded ferry service launches most of its routes this summer and will include "adult beverages" and WiFi.

It's the oldest existing Ellis Island ferry, and it has quite a history.
