bones774 Posted April 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm a solo traveler, living in Queens, NY. I used the Brooklyn terminal some years ago and at that time access was pretty bad, I remember we had to funnel into long lines on the street in our car to enter and exit the port area. I will be using terminal again shortly, has access gotten better? I will be having a family member drop me off, if access is gonna be bad, is there a spot I could be dropped nearby and I can walk in w/o getting my family member ensnared in the traffic jam? or even a bus top that could get me closer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAmerican Posted April 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2019 They have a Ferry now at Pier 12 . Maybe that will solve your query well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bones774 Posted April 19, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Let me ask this, is it still congested down those streets on sailing days or has it gotten better?. Astoria not a bargain, I live more eastern queens, drive there and then 1 hour plus transfer no good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't left from Brooklyn, but we disembarked there from a TA in September (our first time at that terminal). Trying to get out of there (we had a car service) seemed like a mess -- a warren of narrow streets, some one-way, a lot of traffic (of course). I do hope you get an answer from someone who has recently embarked. Perhaps an alternative to your family member dropping you off is using a car service. At least they get paid for being in traffic.

Yea, that is what I remember too. There is a transit bus that let's you off with 1/10 of a mile according to the MTA, that might be the best and walk in.
