“We’re pleased to partner with PATH to provide continued, convenient service for commuters to and from Manhattan during this construction period,” NY Waterway President and CEO Armand Pohan said in a statement.
“We share a commitment to ensuring safe, reliable and pleasant travel experiences for all of our ferry passengers.”
Every PATH customer must have the special, discounted, one-way, three-dollar ticket to ride the ferry.
The ticket is valid for Hoboken NJT Terminal & Hoboken 14th Street to all three Manhattan terminals: Midtown, Brookfield Place and Pier 11/Wall Street for PATH customers.
Three dollar tickets can only be purchased on the NYW App and at NYW Ticket Counters and are not available at NYW Ticket Vending Machines (TVM) or onboard).
At boarding, customers must show PATH fare card payment mechanism – a SmartLink Card, MetroCard, PATH Single Ride Ticket or digital pass in the RidePATH app, plus the three-dollar Special NYW Fare Ticket.
No additional discounts apply to the three-dollar ferry ticket, which are non-refundable. Tickets expire on February 24th at 11:59 p.m.
