when did staten island ferry stop taking cars
Staten Island Ferry In the past, ferries were equipped for vehicle transport, at a charge of $3 per automobile.[142] A vehicle ban was approved in 1992, after the Whitehall Terminal was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt without vehicle loading areas,[169][170] but the September 11 attacks ended vehicle crossings at the temporary terminal as well.[142] It has been proposed to bring car boarding back due to rising tolls on the Verrazano Bridge,[171] but the plan was seen as unlikely due to the amount of effort needed to screen every car.[172]
