I think dumbo and south Williamsburg have also been closed recently for repairs. We skipped them on the ER ferry last week.

So the ferry fare will go up from $2.75 to $4.00 on September 12, but a 10-pack will cost $27.50, preserving the old fare for those who buy the 10-pack. But they need to answer some questions about the 10-pack:

1. Can multiple people use the 10-pack for the same ride, or does every rider need to use a separate 10-pack?
2. Will the 10-pack be available at ticket machines or only through the app?
3. What will be the validity period of the 10 rides in the 10-pack?
