The city said a 'significant share' of the ferry workforce didn't report to work Wednesday, leading to fewer trips.
-- Staten Island Ferry service was suspended for overnight hours Wednesday after riders had to deal with a third day of delays due to staffing shortages.
"If I can't get on the boat, I may have to take an Uber," Staten Island resident Robert McKofkey said. "The DOT should do a way to separate the tourists from regular citizens," Staten Island resident Peter Chung said.Mayor Eric Adams said his team re-adjusted the NYC Ferry, which carries 350 people, to offer free rides from a slip next door directly to Saint George Terminal on Staten Island every 15 minutes between 3:30-10 p.m. He said that would begin again at 6:30 Thursday morning.
