Ferry is no longer free most times (save the first two trips out from Manhattan on the weekends). Now costs $2 round trip for adults or $20 for the season pass but now runs during the week.

Wonderful way to experience NYC - $2 during the week and free on weekends I believe.

$2 round trip is hard to pass up a mini escape from one of the five boroughs. Great view of the city skyline as well .

Fits much more people than the line ever makes it look. They can almost always fit everyone on. Sit up top for more space and better people watching .
