Perhaps this shouldn't come as a surprise, but the brand-new East River Ferry, which hasn't even been running for a full week, is already having service issues, issuing a special advisory today warning weekend passengers that there are rough seas ahead:
"The large number of travelers we are carrying has resulted in many boats reaching their Coast Guard mandated capacity and the loading and unloading of large crowds has at times caused delays in scheduled departures. We expect this to last throughout the free trial period which ends on June 24. If you plan on using the East River Ferry during the free period, especially during the weekend of June 18th and 19th... you should plan on waiting an extended amount of time and the possibility exists that you may not be able to board."
So, basically, if you're trying to go anywhere serviced by the G, the L, or, now, apparently, the Ferry, you're pretty much screwed. Happy Friday!
