Brooklyn-Gov Island ferry moves to Sun. for punk fest
The free Brooklyn ferry to Governors Island will switch to Sunday this weekend to coincide with the Punk Island music festival.
 The new Brooklyn ferry, operated by NY Waterway, makes a circuit between Governors Island and the base of the Brooklyn Bridge at Fulton Ferry landing. The Brooklyn ferry is added on weekend days when there is special programming, which usually falls on Saturdays.
Manhattan service, which is also free, runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through the summer. For more details see the Governors Island ferry schedule, which changes from week to week.
Governors Island has already racked up 30,000 visitors in its first three weekends of 2009. By comparison, in 2006, only 26,000 people visited during the entire summer season, a Governors Island spokeswoman told NewYorkology.
