I'd appreciate guidance on using the New York Waterways ferry between Port Imperial on the Jersey side and W. 39th on the Manhattan side. I'd be coming from Staten Island on a weekday morning. My plan is to take the Bayonne Bridge and up to Port Imperial and the ferry terminal. Question: Is there enough parking so that I would find a spot around 9am? Also, are there any tricks to getting between the Bayonne Bridge and the ferry?
I've visited their website but would like guidance from someone who does this trip on a regular basis.
Any advice would be greatfully appreciated!New York Waterways Advice?
Why on earth would you drive all the way up to Port Imperial, go to liberty state park and take the ferry from there, it's closer and there is parking.New York Waterways Advice?
There will be slow due to South Entrance to Port Imperial/Weekhaven Parking will be closed for long term construction. According to google map, New Jersey Turnpike becomes heavily congested.
Rather than drive, taking NYC bus to Bayonne and Hudson-Bergen Lightrail is way to go!
Your best option will be to take BRAND NEW RIDE on New York City Transit's rush hour S89 LIMITED BUS $2(coins or MetroCard) WHICH GOES along Richmond %26amp; Marsh Avs, then goes across Bayonne Bridge to 34th St HBLR Station.
Once at Hudson-Bergen Lightrail Station, purchase one way ticket which cost only $1.90 and must be validaded even if train comes.
If ticket is not validaded, you'll get fine of $100 or get kick off the train.
Take Hoboken-bound train to 22nd St Station where you could transfer to ferry to Pier 79 (West 38th St) which cost $5 one way.
From Pier 79, get on any free ferry shuttle bus. Ferry shuttle bus operates various route during off-peak and peak hour.
See the ferry shuttle bus info at NYWY website.
From Pt. Imperial ferry cost $10 one way!!
Port Imperial-Pier 79 runs every 30 minutes from 6:15am to 7:15pm.
