"The new ferry route would connect parts of Upper Manhattan to the West Bronx, offering a faster and significantly more scenic alternative to packed trains and buses."
"With this year's FIFA World Cup set to bring massive crowds to MetLife Stadium, officials are scrambling to find ways to move people without overwhelming the region's transit system."
"Federal funding is adding urgency to both ideas, with roughly $100 million set aside for World Cup-related transit projects, but the deadline to secure those funds is fast approaching."
A proposal for a ferry route along the Harlem River aims to connect Upper Manhattan to the West Bronx, providing a faster alternative to crowded trains and buses. Currently, Bronx ferry access is limited, but this new route could serve tens of thousands of commuters and enhance waterfront access. The proposal requires a study by the Department of Transportation, with a report due within a year. The initiative is timely, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, which necessitates improved transit solutions.
