HAVERSTRAW-NYC RIVER COMMUTES TO END NEXT MONTH by Ken Mahoney

Service ends May 1 for Rocklanders who’ve been using the New York Water Taxi to commute each day from Haverstraw to Manhattan and back. The ferry service says ridership has been too low – about 250 passengers a month, compared with nearly a thousand on the Yonkers-Manhattan route – to pay for the Haverstraw runs to continue. This ends a two-year pilot program that’s cost nearly $7.5-million dollars so far.
