No longer will just one ferry service chug back and forth interminably between lower Manhattan and Staten Island. Because of the giant observation wheel and outlet mall coming to the outer borough's north shore, "every major ferry company in the city"meaning New York Water Taxi, BillyBey Ferry Co., Statue Cruises, and Seastreakwants in on the cross-harbor action, and they will probably depart from different points around the city. Second Avenue Sagas' Ben Kabak, though, asks: "Will more ferries to St. George solve Staten Island's transit problems?" [Crain's/SAS; previously]
