The New York City Transportation Department said Saturday that New York Water Taxi will run the eight-week service, starting Monday. Plans for it were announced earlier this week.
Boats will travel between a temporary landing at Staten Island's Great Kills Park and Manhattan, with stops near Wall Street and in midtown. The one-way fare is $2.
Schedules are on the Transportation Department's website.
New York Water Taxi says it hope to help some of the people hardest hit by the storm. Many are contending with storm-damaged cars and other transportation problems.
The city has established a similar temporary ferry to the badly damaged Rockaways in Queens. ___
