At a City Council transportation hearing today, DOT Commissioner Irish Weinshall said:
"I believe we could somehow make ferry transit more affordable and make the system more seamless, what I mean if there were buses that took people to ferries than more people would use them."
She than praised new MTA chief Lee Sander, called him a "friend," and said she would soon pay him a visit.
"We are going to talk to him about getting the buses and incorporating more ferry service," she said.
