Columbia Heightster offers this helpful comment in our Transportation Drama Open Thread: “I made it to midtown via the East River Ferry. There’s no schedule, just a continuous circulation of boats. From DUMBO, it first goes south to Wall Street, then up to North Williamsburg. At North Williamsburg, there is a free transfer to a different boat that takes you to 34th St. Door to door was about 1hr 30min, but it was organized & civilized. $4 each way, free transfer. Sounds like a much better option than the Bridge Buses.”
