SIT BACK AND RELAX. THE RIDE'S ON US.
Our FREE red, white and blue shuttle buses are frequently seen and always recognized on the street of Manhattan. They follow the most popular routes around the city which include 57th Street, 49th Street, 42nd Street, and 34th Street, as well as a special Downtown loop.
Our FREE shuttle buses stop at all NYC bus stops along these routes. All you have to do is wave them down, like you would hail a taxi, and then just sit back as our comfortable bus transports you directly to Pier 78, which is where our tour boats depart from. Pier 78 is located at W. 38th St. & 12th Ave. To make it even easier, if you can't find a regular bus stop close by, you can always go to one of our two primary pick-up locations where you can count on a bus at the following times:
