Staten Island is unique among the five boroughs of New York City. It is more isolated than the other five boroughs, and until the opening of the Verrazano Bridge on November 21, 1964, it was only directly connected to Manhattan and the rest of New York City by ferry services.
While Staten Island, despite many plans to do so, remains unconnected to the rest of New York via rapid transit (express bus services do exist), it has had its own “railroad” for many years. This chapter explores the background and history of the Staten Island Rapid Transit, and its impact on the island itself.
