The new ferry started yesterday carrying passengers from Rockaway to the southern tip of Manhattan.

“Ferry service will make the very difficult commute between the Rockaways and Manhattan much easier and less expensive,” said Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker. The service leaves from Riis Landing, in Queens, and is being provided by New York Water Taxi.

Good thing this came into effect for the summer since the predicted gas prices will continue to climb till summers end.
