FIRST ON amNY | NYC Ferry sees highest-ever ridership with 1 million first quarter passengers
amNY Sports email newsletterNYC Ferry, the city’s marine transit system, saw its highest-ever ridership in the first quarter in 2023 — clocking just over a million passengers on its vessels in the year’s first 13 weeks.
The reported ridership is more than 20% higher than the second-place winter quarter — the approximately 830,000 riders seen in the first quarter of 2020 — just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Last July, Mayor Adams announced the NYC Ferry Forward vision to create a more accessible, equitable and fiscally sustainable ferry system. With record numbers of over 1 million riders in just the first 13 weeks of the year, NYC Ferry users are offering a resounding endorsement of this new vision,” said Andrew Kimball, president of the city’s Economic Development Corporation, which oversees the ferry system, in a statement.
The most popular route, according to EDC, is the East River crossing between Manhattan and Brooklyn, amounting to 37% of overall ferry trips. The Astoria and Soundview lines carried 24% and 13% of riders respectively. Other routes out of Manhattan transport passengers to the Rockaway peninsula and to southern Brooklyn.An NYC Ferry departs from the Astoria pier in Queens on Feb. 1, 2022
