602 DannyGarwoodRockaway Beach11694The Rockaway Park A train provides decent service, but only if you work from 9am-5pm. I wish there was a quick way to get home late night on weekends.
603 RonnieGarwoodBelle Harbor11694This would be a good alternative to the few direct A trains in the morning and the few in the evening during rush hours, as well as the few QM 16 Express Buses that operate. How about extending the "rush" hours (not everyone gets out at 5:00 pm) and offer a later option especially on Friday nights, when folks like to stay in the city after work?

611 AnonymousAnonymousBelle Harbor11694With the increasing number of new condo's and homes being put in rockaway from Averne to Belle Harbor, a ferry is vital. The train service just does not cut it making it usually an hour and a half from rockaway to a manhattan destination.

613 mikedelisirockaway11694i have many friends and neighbors in bell harbor and the rockaways that are praying for the ferry to come to the rockaways,not only will it cut the traveling time to the city but it will definetly increase the value of all the homes in the rockaways by a huge amount.every body who wants the value of there homes to go higher and to be able to get to the city quicker should vote for the ferry.please email me with any progress, thank-you.

615 GlennBorinRoslyn11576As a summer and weekend resident of Breezy Point, I found NY Waterway Service from BAT a great way to get to work. Service from Rockaway would be even better. Early AM and late PM weekday hours are important to make service usable for commuting.

627 SusanBrownHowarde Beach11414I would most definitely drive from Howard Beach to Rockaway - in spite of the tolls - to ride the ferry to Manhattan!

631 AndrewBaumSheepshead Bay, Brooklyn11235I would opt for a run that arrived at Pier 11/Wall St by 6:50am. However that translates in terms of departure time from Rockaway...
632 sophiaskeansNEW YORK10006It is critical that we have ferry service in the Rockaways!

636 DawnNacionalRockaway Park11694For people who don't work a 9-5 schedule the 4:30 and 6:30 pm schedule to Queens worked great. Are there sufficient people taking the 3:30 pm ferry? Maybe a later 7:30 pm ferry would be preferred for people who have client events/dinners in the city.
637 Janvan LierRockaway Park11694
638 DouglasPowersRockaway Park11694Preferred Departure Time from Rockaway: 7:30 AM, allows for small delays, weather & time to get coffee. Preferred Departure Time from NY: 6:30 PM. Few have 9 to 5 jobs anymore. 6:30 would be perfect.

640 AnonymousAnonymousArverne11692I would benefit from a more frequent ferry service. Also a ferry that left at 6:45 in the evening and one that left at about 6:45 in the am. Also on the weekends a later ferry service would allow for an evening out. As much as I support the ferry as it stands now I will not be able to use it because the times do not fit into my schedule.
641 SuzanneSgroiFranklin Square11010
642 SusanRothsteinRockaway Beach116931. A stop at 116th street, maybe at the wharf? It takes some people too long to get to riis park. 2. A later departure from Manhattan for people who do not get out at 5 on the fot. 3. A late departure from Manhattan on the weekends...like 8 or 9pm to avoid anyone drinking and driving from the city back to rockaway.
643 ThomasYoungWest New York07093Former Rockaway Resident, have family there and love the weekend ferry service!

646 valerieclarkerockaway park11694Need to leave from 116th street to connect to the majority of commuters on the peninsula and other public transports. Duh!
647 JamesSpellArverne11692I think having ferry service from the Rockaways to Manhattan is a great start! However there are some suggestions that I would make to make this service easily accessible for everyone: 1. As many suggested, buiding another ferry terminal on B 116 St. Not only will the ferry be easily accessible to the residents in Breezy Point and Neponsit,, it will make it easily accessible for the residents in Rockaway Park, Hammels and Arverne. 2. Offer more ferry service during rush hours, between the hours of 5 AM-8 AM & 3 PM-8 PM. Offer service during non rush hours. Offer more weekend service for those people (like myself) that don't like taking the A train into Manhattan. 3. Perhaps in the future offer 24 hour ferry service, like the Staten Island Ferry. I personally believe if you consider implementing these suggestions, you will create a better alternative means of transportation into Manhattan for all residents of the Rockaways!
648 AnonymousAnonymousManhattan10010I hope to use your ferry service every so often. I hope it lasts!
649 AnonymousAnonymousBreezy Point11697Would love to be able to go to the city on weekends and spend the day there.
