From my home in Staten Island, just WHY would I go very much west, then south, then again north in Brooklyn via subway to go east? For that would be a totally not necessary time-consuming round about method to get anywhere! Basically that would be the path via the S53 or S79 bus routes.From where I live is absolutely easiest to just go to the ferry terminal (usually by bus), and to take the R-train to Brooklyn on the trips to/from work - Plan-A. I also have a Plan-B (and C, D, E & F,) I've done these trips for a couple of decades now. Yes, plenty of ferry riders also want to go north in Manhattan, some take the #1, or the #4 or #5, some even travel to Brooklyn on the #4 or #5 - I've done every one of those trips on a regular basis - hundreds of times. Every day I see plenty of riders getting off the ferry, and using the Whitehall Street station. A good number of those folks take the R-train uptown, and a good number of those folks take R-train TO BROOKLYN. I've been in both groups of folks for hundreds of trips over the years. Yes, generally speaking Staten Islanders tend to work on Staten Island, in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey, taking their cars, local buses, express buses, or the bus-ferry-subway to do. "Speaking generally" however does not account for the various pathways of riders. Mike |
