HOW TO RIDE FERRY FOR $3 DURING STATION CLOSURE?
***AS OF 1/30 both PANYNJ and NYWW have updated their in app ticket purchasing of the $3 Ferry Ticket. See below for details
Customers with this Special PATH Ferry Ticket Combo will be able to ride the ferries between Hoboken Terminal or the 14th St Terminal to/from Midtown Pier 79, Brookfield Place, or Pier 11.
- Show BOTH your PATH fare card (SmartLink Card, MetroCard, or the digital pass) AND the Special PATH $3 Ferry Ticket from NYWW when boarding.
- Go to NYWW Website for info: NYWW - Path Closure
- IMPORTANT ->: Requiring both so far has been inconsistent. But to be safe, make sure you have both as NYWW has the right to turn you away if you do not. Customers who ride the ferry are encouraged to sign up for NY Waterway alerts to stay informed.
How to buy the special NYWW “$3 Ferry Ticket”

- Tap "Store" at the bottom.

- Select Origin and scroll down to find the stations that begin with "Path" (they should now be at the top of the list after originally being at the bottom and hard to find). Select your station and tap Done.

- Select Destination and choose the station you’re heading to (it should also have "Path" in the name). Tap Done.

- You will now see the $3 ticket available for purchase.

Troubleshooting: If you don’t see the $3 ticket:
- Go back and clear the cache by tapping the "X" next to both Origin and Destination.

- Re-enter the correct stations and try again.
- If that doesn’t work, exit the app completely and restart it.
- The app sometimes "remembers" non-PATH selections, which can prevent the $3 ticket from appearing. Clearing the cache or restarting the app should fix it.
What is a "PATH fare card payment mechanism"
- A SmartLink Card, MetroCard or a digital pass from the RidePATH App
