Free bus service to NY Waterway
In the hopes of attracting more ferry riders, NY Waterway will be launching a free bus service from North Bergen to the Weehawken Port Imperial ferry terminal.
According to NY Waterway President and Founder Arthur Imperatore, beginning on Sept. 13 NY Waterway will operate busses for commuters that are currently being served by NJ Transit’s B-23 bus. This trip usually costs riders $1.50 one-way.
Imperatore said that these busses will run every 10 minutes during the morning and evening rush, and every 20 minutes during off-peak hours from Bergenline and Woodcliff Avenue in North Bergen. Commuters can take them to the Port Imperial, where departing ferries will take them to West 39th Street, Lower Manhattan’s World Financial Center, and Wall Street’s Pier 11.
From West 39th Street, free busses will bring riders across and downtown.
“To assure that our customers are enjoying the most seamless, most pleasant commute at the best possible price, we decided to provide this new bus service,” Imperatore said. “We are proud of our 23-year commitment to customer service.”

Volunteers sought to help foster care children
Hudson County CASA is currently recruiting volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) works through trained community volunteers to ensure that needed services and assistance are made available to children, while helping to move them toward safe and permanent homes.
CASA and its volunteers speak for children in court, serve as fact finders for the judges, and safeguard the interests of the children while they are in the foster care system.
Information sessions regarding the program and the role of its volunteers will be held on Sept. 7 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Room 901 of the Hudson County Administration Building at 595 Newark Ave. in Jersey City.

Correction
In an article that ran in the entertainment section last weekend about Beth Rooney and Anthony Picone, the title of their film should have been “The Long Road Home,” not “The Long Way Home.”
