Getting There

New York City is lauded for many things, one of which is its excellent system for public transportation. The Staten Island Ferry is itself an alternative to subway and street travel, but many tourists also ride it for the sightseeing opportunities. To arrive at the Whitehall Terminal in Manhattan one can take bus, car, or train; specifically, the number 4 subway line to the Whitehall Street Station, just a few metres away from the Terminal Building. From the Staten Island side the subway station is called St. George Station, and again is just a few metres from the port.
