FamousNYLover Posted August 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2009 I know IKEA Ferry operated by New York Water Taxi was free, but few days ago when I went, it was not free. It cost $5 each way during weekdays. Does anyone know why New York Water Taxi put $5 each way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted August 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2009 I know IKEA Ferry operated by New York Water Taxi was free, but few days ago when I went, it was not free. It cost $5 each way during weekdays.Does anyone know why New York Water Taxi put $5 each way? Why not? People who were not shopping were taking advantage of IKEA's free shuttle water taxi. They were just going to work/coming back from work. Ridership was high yes, but they don't deserve to ride that water taxi. It's for IKEA passengers only. IKEA passengers who shop more than (I think $10) will get a reimbursement. It's a slap to the face for those people who've been freeloading the past year or so. Come on, they don't deserve the free ride, it's not for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken S. Posted August 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2009 It's IKEA stopping it before the MTA forces them to. Come to think of it, I' sure the MTA would love a pedestrian toll on free bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with the MTA. It's due to the reasons that MTR Admiralty stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted August 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2009 Good points all around though, IKEA doesn't want to bleed money & doesn't want to lose fares to a free service. It's free for shoppers, so 5 bucks is a good deal. I think i may have to use this ferry to get a glimpse of the QM2 some time soon. :cool: - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted August 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 10, 2009 These freeloaders should never forget that not every ferry service is free like the Staten Island Ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuki do you want people to lose their jobs if Ikea closes this Brooklyn store due to expensive of running this NY waterway ferry? Tourists can still use this ferry on weekends if i read the news article correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
