\n The Staten Island Ferry is fighting a global pandemic with masking tape.<\/p>\n

\u201cX\u201ds have been taped across every other seat on the blue-and-orange vessels to enforce social distancing as the city moves ahead with the Phase One of reopening from its coronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure this will work,\u201d one observer tweeted sarcastically.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018How can we do less than the bare minimum?’\u201d another joked.<\/p>\n

Mayor de Blasio had suggested the same technique for city subways and buses, which are under the state\u2019s control. But he was promptly dismissed by the MTA, whose spokeswoman called the idea \u201cnice in theory but utterly unworkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city Department of Transportation, the ferry operators, did not immediately respond to questions about social distancing measures on the boats, which were typically completely filled with seated passengers during rush hours before the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

As with other forms of mass transit, Staten Island Ferry ridership plummeted during the coronavirus lockdown. Though DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg Tuesday said ridership is trending up this week as the city reopens.<\/p>\n

Dani Simons, a former DOT official under the Bloomberg administration, came to the defense of the department\u2019s janky app<\/a>roach to social distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it\u2019s so much better than running it up the chain of command and waiting till marketing perfects something, legal marks it up, marketing redoes it, City Hall weighs in and it gets re-written again and then it\u2019s Christmas,\u201d Simons tweeted.<\/p>\n

Mayor de Blasio\u2019s communications director, Wiley Norvell, concurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouldn\u2019t agree more! More masking tape in govt!\u201d Norvell joked in response.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
