Correct Answer: Staten Island Ferry
So why is this answer correct? : The Staten Island Ferry has been running since 1817, and since 1997, it has been completely free to ride. The ferry is the only direct public transit between Staten Island and Manhattan, and it runs roughly every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The ferry carries more than 20 million riders a year and takes 25 minutes to complete its trip from lower Manhattan to the other borough.
