"The Free Staten Island Ferry"

Annual costs to operate the free Staten Island Ferry have more than doubled to $83.8 million since 2002 due to extra security, higher fuel prices, extra service and major improvements to the terminals at Battery Park and St. George.

This past November, New York magazine discovered the City Council had requested a report about ferry costs and found that a $2 fee per person would cover operating costs. The latest report puts the cost at $4 per passenger, according to the Post.
