Why the Long Wait?

The DOT explains that the delay was due to a combination of factors, including the time it took to restore ridership after the pandemic and the length of the procurement process.

More Than Just Coffee!

Dunkin' plans to offer a variety of options, including the possibility of beer, reviving a pre-pandemic tradition. This complements existing concessions at the ferry terminals.

The return of onboard concessions marks a significant step towards normalcy for thousands of daily commuters. It’s more than just convenience – it’s a sign that things are getting back to normal in NYC!
