Staten Island

Staten Island is one of the five boroughs that make up New York City. It is the least populous, with around 470,000 residents, and is the most suburban. The well-known Staten Island Ferry provides free transport between it and Manhattan, and it is connected to Brooklyn by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1981. The Staten Island Railway and MTA buses provide the bulk of public transportation within the island.
