Means of transport New York

The New York City ferry system efficiently connects several Brooklyn neighborhoods to/from Manhattan and even Queens. The Rockaway Route connects to Rockaway Beach from Wall Street; the South Brooklyn Route connects to Dumbo, Red Hook, Sunset Park, and Bay Ridge; the East River Route connects to Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Dumbo from Wall Street; and the Astoria Route connects to the up-and-coming Brooklyn Navy Yard from Wall Street and up to Astoria, Queens.

These bikeshares are especially fun to ride on the quiet streets of Brooklyn. With nearly 750 stations and 1,000 bikes scattered throughout Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn, you'll have no trouble finding one during your stay. Citi Bikes are an economical alternative to bike rentals. The fact that you can drop them off at any Citi Bike kiosk makes them especially convenient. Note that there are more and more electric bikes at the kiosks (26 cents per minute surcharge).

After bikes, it's self-service scooters that are all the rage in New York! All electric, Revel's scooters were first launched in Brooklyn and Queens in 2018, before expanding to Manhattan and the Bronx in early 2021. Helmets are mandatory (you'll be asked for a selfie as proof!) and two helmets are provided with each rental. Note that scooters are not allowed on bike lanes or major bridges, and must not exceed 30 mph (about 50 km/h).
