Kunezintaba zamabhayisikili emabhayisikili eBrooklyn naseStenen Island, kodwa ngo-2018 uhlelo oluvela eMzini WaseNew York lungakaze lubandakanye indlela yokuhamba ngebhayisikili noma indlela yokuhamba ngezinyawo eVerzano-Narrows Bridge, ehlanganisa amabhulodi amabili.
Kodwa-ke, kunezindlela eziningi zokufinyelela eStaten Island ngebhayisikili okubandakanya amasevisi okuhamba ngesikebhe phakathi kweBrooklyn naseManhattan naseStenen Island kanye nokugibela amabhasi amasha weMetropolitan Transport Authority (MTA's) ayenamabhayisikili ahamba ngebhayisikili enyakeni ka 2017.
Noma kunjalo, lezi zindlela zokuhamba zivame ukuba nzima futhi zidla isikhathi futhi zivimbe imfuyo yebhayisikili kusukela ekufikeni e-New York yesihlanu. Isikhathi sokuphela kwe-Verrazano-Narrows Bridge evulekile kubagibeli bamabhayisikili kungenxa yezikhathi ezikhethekile ezifana ne-Five Boro Bike Tour yonyaka lapho imigwaqo yethrafikhi inciphisa ukudala imigwaqo yesikhashana yesikhathi sokuvakasha.
Ukuthola Ibhayisikili Yakho Ku-Staten Island Kusuka eBrooklyn
Njengamanje, kunezindlela eziningana ongathutha ngayo ibhayisikili kusuka eBrooklyn (noma e-Manhattan) ukuya eStenen Island, kodwa indlela ngayinye ithatha isikhathi eside kunokuba nje ukuhamba ngebhayisikili ku-Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
