NYC Ferry in August saw its highest ridership in a single month with over 1 million boardings, a 17% increase over the same period last year, according to a Wednesday release from Mayor Eric Adams’ office. It also notched a weekly ridership record from Aug. 4 through Aug. 10, with over 240,000 total boardings.
