Out of curiosity, how dumb do you have to be to fall for that sort of scam?

Even if you couldn't be bothered to look up the fare in advance and learn it was free, isn't anybody going to think $200 is a bit excessive? The only time I paid $200 for a ferry ticket was for a trip that was over 300 miles (and included a private room on board).

There should be a permit requirement....oh wait there is one.

Reddick is one of a small army of unlicensed tourism “ticket agents” who wear vests reading “SJQ Sightseeing” — a company that has no Parks Department permit and is not registered to do business in New York state.


The system works yet again to protect the sucker born every minutes.
