A shuttle bus will run between Greenpoint and North Williamsburg to assist East River Ferry riders starting Tuesday, Feb. 18. Service will last at least two weeks, depending on ridership.
On Thursday the India St./Greenpoint ferry dock collapsed into the water just minutes after commuters crossed it to board the ferry. Engineers are still investigating cause of the collapse.
The Greenpoint Pier is closed until further notice. Those using the Greenpoint Pier in the morning will need to take the shuttle bus south to the North Williamsburg dock to catch the ferry.
The bus will shuttle commuters between the India St./ Greenpoint stop and the North 6th St. / N. Williamsburg ferry landings during the morning and evening commutes.
