Stranded passengers in scorching sun
These people left us in line at Ellis Island for hours in the scorching heat. Every ferry coming from the Statue of Liberty would stop by and pick up a handful of people because people simple wouldn't disembark. As they let maybe 20-30 people board, hundreds of people, including infants and elderly, sat in 90 degree heat, standing within inches of each other, waiting to get back to the city. Then an completely empty boat passed us by to pick up literally 7 people going to New Jersey. It was a painful scene. These folks are horrific planners and put passengers at risk. They are lucky someone didn't suffer from heat stroke. They crowd people in wide lines with no sense of order so it's a free for all. It completely ruined what should have been an amazing day and wasted hours of our time. I told a lead staffer about my concerns. He mocked me openly. Does the city know they do this? Do they deserve exclusive rights to these routes? I think not.
