More generally, there is a lack of transportation between Staten Island and New Jersey. Prior to the building of the bridges, there were ferries that connected the communities on opposite sides of the Arthur Kill and Kill van Kull, but now there's nothing but for the rush hour only S89. The restoration of the pedestrian walkways on the replacement Goethals Bridge and Bayonne Bridge are useful for ambitious persons, but there's no walkway on the Outerbridge Crossing. Public transportation from Tottenville to Perth Amboy, once a trip taking a few minutes on a short ferry trip, now requires transiting Port Authority Bus Terminal or Pennsylvania Station. While it is likely that only a handful of people would use public transportation connecting Staten Island with New Jersey, for those who would use it would save substantial inconvenience. |
