Staten Island is the most rural of the five boroughs of New York City. Although still predominantly residential in nature, the borough has changed significantly since the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in 1964.
If you are using a car or limousine service, Staten Island can be reached by bridge from Brooklyn and New Jersey, and by ferry from Manhattan. The ferry is the best option, as it passes by Liberty Island and offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. The ferry is free and operates 24 hours a day out of Battery Park in Manhattan and St. George Terminal in Staten Island. If you are seasick or otherwise uncomfortable on ferries, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island with Brooklyn, but you will incur a high toll (US$9.00). A more moderately priced option is to take an express bus from Manhattan to Staten Island. The fare payable with MetroCard is US$5.00. Change is also accepted, but carrying $5.00 in change (fare boxes ONLY accept change) is not a really good idea. The X1 and X10 routes run along Broadway in Manhattan. There is frequent service (about every 6-30 minutes) daily from early morning to past midnight.
The Staten Island Railway (operated by the MTA, which also runs the subways and the majority of buses) is somewhat a hybrid of a railroad and a subway line. While it uses subway-type equipment, it is legally a railroad, as defined by an FRA waiver. Fares are the same as a subway ride (US$2.00), and it runs 24 hours. Unlike the subway, it runs on a set schedule, from every 15 minutes during weekdays, to every hour overnight. Fares are collected only at St. George Ferry Terminal, leading many to exit at the penultimate stop, Tompkinsville, and walk up Bay Street a short distance to the ferry.
