New York City’s ferry system will raise one-way fares to five dollars per ride beginning next month, marking the first fare adjustment in over a decade. The increase comes as officials cite rising operational costs and demand for the popular water transit option. Riders who rely on the service for commuting or tourism may see a noticeable change in their travel budgets. Details on discounted passes and exemptions for low-income passengers are expected to be announced alongside the new pricing.
