New Ferries for LI, NJ Commuters to NYC

A new, high-speed commuter ferry will begin service in May from Glen Cove harbor, LI and Manhattan's Pier 11 near Wall Street, Glen Cove Mayor Tom Suozzi told the Daily News earlier this month. Operated by Fox Navigation, the 300-seat ferry providing a 45 minute one-way trip could relieve rush-hour crowding, particularly on the LIRR Port Washington branch.

NJTransit announced it will build a second ferry terminal in Weehawken adjacent to a planned Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stop, providing further options for cross-Hudson commuters. The terminal is planned to open within three years when a 32-year lease and operation contract granted to NY Waterway will begin.
