The only legitimate ways to reach the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island? Statue Cruises or the free Staten Island Ferry. With fines currently as low as $50, the new legislation aims to hike penalties to $1,000+ and revoke licenses after just three violations, sending a clear message: no more shady sales tactics. This push seeks to restore trust, protect tourists from financial loss, and ensure everyone can enjoy NYC’s landmarks without deception.
