I wonder how the tourist board feels - quite apart from the journalistic aspect NY's transport infrastructure has always been a draw for tourist snappers (as indeed the whole city is). Its all part of the romance of the place, people trying to get those classic James Dean or Audrey Hepburn shots. I've been cautious taking photos on the subway in the past but that's more for politeness/safety reasons than anything else. Does the PA run the Staten Island ferry?

No The SI Ferry is run by the MTA. I actually live on Staten Island. Every tourist has a camera and is snapping away at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
