St. George Ferry Terminal is a park and ride and sea, railway, and bus transit center that is located in the St. George section of Staten Island, New York.

Ferry Service

The St. George Ferry Terminal is one of two terminals of the Staten Island Ferry with the other being South Ferry which is located on the southern tip of Manhattan near Battery Park. The Staten Island Ferry runs 24 hour service between both terminals.

Today the Staten Island Ferry annually carries over 19 million passengers on a 5.2 mile (8.4 km) run that takes approximately 25 minutes each way. Service is provided 24 hours a day, every day. Each day approximately five boats transport about 75,000 passengers during 104 boat trips. Over 33,000 trips are made annually.

During rush hours, ferries usually run every 15 and 20 minute intervals, decreasing to 30 minutes during the mid-days and evenings. During very late or early morning hours (the midnight hours) a ferry is provided once every 60 minutes. During the weekends ferries run every 30 and 60 minutes. In November 2006, additional ferries running every 30 minutes were provided during the weekend morning hours - the most significant change in the ferry schedule for about 3 decades.

MTA Staten Island Railway Service

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's subsidiary New York City Transit operates the Staten Island Railway as its own subsidiary. Like the New York City Subway, its parent, the Staten Island Railway, formerly called the Staten Island Rapid Transit, operates 24 hours a day and requires Metrocard as its form of payment (fare collected at St. George and Tompkinsville Stations only). The Railway stretches along Staten Island's eastern shore from St. George to Tottenville. Up until 1953 the railway possessed two other lines as well. A North Shore Line adjacent Richmond Terrace that stretched to Arlington and a South Beach Line that stretched to Wentworth Avenue close to what is now Ocean Breeze Park, part of the site that was once proposed to become a campus of the College of Staten Island, a public college that is part of the City University of New York.
