The ferries are up and running almost 12 hours a day and using bigger boats

NY Waterways water taxi has to be evacuated mid-river

That river being the Hudson River where a NY Waterways water taxi blew an engine that began blowing black smoke and 27 passengers had to be evacuated. About a mile south of the GW Bridge the taxi's engine overheated and the two crew members anchored the boat and called for help. Another boat came to pick up the passengers and get them to their destination while a tugboat hauled the crippled boat to safe harbor.

Neither Charon or Captain "Sully" Sullenberger could be reached for comment but then again, we didn't try all that hard.
