Posted by Gold_12th on Tue Oct 28 19:06:30 2014 A transportation company is considering offering rapid bus transport to temporarily replace the Rockaway ferry service, which will cease to exist at the end of the month.Service would begin Monday, Nov. 3 and would cost $5 each way. The company, TransportAzumah, believes that an express bus making limited steps could match the travel time of the ferry. President Joel Azumah says his intention is to turn the route over to the MTA early next year after funding is found for the agency to implement direct bus service. The bus would stop at the ferry landing at Beach 108th Street and Fort Tilden and travel into Lower Manhattan and New Jersey. The Manhattan stop would likely be the intersection of Water and Wall Streets, but could be moved to Church Street and Broadway and Rector Streets if there is enough demand. The New Jersey stop is the Newport Center Mall, Azumah said. Azumah said the new bus is likely to be a reality, but the company is collecting feedback from potential customers. Emails can be sent to info@transportazumah.com. A proposed schedule is available online at http://www.transportazumah.com/QM14. http://rockawaytimes.com/2014/10/27/bus-service-aims-replace-ill-fated-ferry/ |
