Ferry Fruition
Metro-North Railroad says the new Haverstraw-Ossining commuter ferry ¾ about a month old ¾ is drawing rider levels it had not expected until next year. The Journal-News reported last week that daily ridership in the beginning of October was about 80 riders each way. 250 daily riders are need to allow the service to break even. NY Waterway and Haverstraw officials say they are considering direct weekend runs between Haverstraw and Manhattan.
