    Easy to navigate, don't panic when you there are insanely number of folks/super packed without much…read moreorder crowd waiting to get in the boat. Do not get distracted by people who look like they work for the terminal authority they are just trying to lock you in on a paid tour to Statue of Liberty. So just stay focus, and get in line for the free ride to Staten Island. Also don't panic these ferry boats are insanely big so you will find a spot to get the views you want. If you leave from NYC stick to the right side and go upstairs for the best photos. Once you've made it to Staten Island without any wait, you get off and roll back into another boat (SI To Manhattan) and do it all over again. If you still want to see the Liberty statue leaving from Staten Island, stick to the left. From Manhattan to SI stick to the right and try to get on the second floor. If you want to explore what's around the area a short walk will take you to Wall Street, you'll see the bull and Trinity Church (where Hamilton and Eliza and Philip are buried). Also with going inside the church even with their very strict security check -- we had to even take Apple Watches which was a first but I'm all about safety so whatever they ask, I'll gladly do it. So if near Wall Street make Trinity Church a stop just like that silly snatching bull! ;)

Security is present with dogs. Expect a crowd of people to be lined up waiting for the ferry. The ferry runs every 30 minutes.

    A new ferry terminal awkwardly close to the already existing Paulus Hook ferry terminal, but I can…read morenever hate on more public transportation being added to Jersey City. This one operates from the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in front of the main Harborside building, making it very convenient for those who work in Harborside or live in Urby. It doesn't seem fully complete yet, but today is their first day of operation. I just wish they had later hours and operated on the weekend. Also, similar to the Paulus Hook ferry, they only run to midtown during commute hours, and I think a few boats to midtown in the afternoon would be nice. Those complaints aside, like I said, I can never truly hate on more public transportation. NY Waterway boats are nice and comfortable, generally well kept, and obviously you can't beat the views from this ferry trip. It's quite a bit pricier than the PATH, but if you're a tourist or have people from out of town visiting, it's a ride you should definitely take.

    The Harborside Ferry terminal is an example what is wrong with public transportation. A rickety…read moredysfunctional terminal 5 minutes away from a decent well functioning one. NY Waterway has very old (built in 1998) and decrepit ferries docking there only to drum up foot traffic for McCali's new waterfront project (currently an empty pointless space). The terminal often has broken ticket machines, and does not look very safe. There are men constantly repairing what appears to be a temporary and hastily constructed structure. You have to wait for the ferry in the rain, snow, or sweltering sun, when there is a perfectly good terminal building, with restrooms, and more connections five minutes away in Paulus Hook. I suspect that the only reason the rickety terminal even exists is because, according to the New York Times, NJ Transit subsidizes additional NY Waterway routes, even when they make no sense, and even when the service is very bad. Tax subsidized corporate greed and bad service.
