<P> In the past , ferries were equipped for vehicle transport , and operators charged $3 per automobile . A vehicle ban was approved in 1992 , after the Whitehall Terminal was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt without vehicle loading areas . Although the temporary terminals included car loading areas , car boarding was discontinued after the September 11 attacks . There was a plan to reinstate car boarding because of rising tolls on the Verrazano Bridge , but that was seen as infeasible due to the amount of effort needed to screen every car . </P>
