“’You’re going to need a bigger boat’ isn’t just a memorable quote from the movie ‘Jaws,’” the City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn, said. “It’s what we’ve been hearing from New Yorkers due to the overwhelming popularity of the East River ferry.”
Ms. Quinn, who took time out from her honeymoon this week to celebrate the expanded service, has been an ardent supporter of the pilot project. Interborough ferry service has been tried repeatedly without success, but Ms. Quinn and other city officials say they believe it might just catch on this time.
