Good morning on this misty Monday.

Today, you have another way to get around the city by water.

NYC Ferry opens this morning.

The service, with six lines, will eventually link Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx along the East River.

Ferries on two of those lines — the Rockaway, Queens, route and the existing East River route — are up and running, with the South Brooklynand Astoria routes expected to follow in August, and the Lower East Sideand the Bronx routes in the summer of 2018.

A one-way trip will cost $2.75, the same as a subway ride. For $1 more, you can bring your bicycle onboard. (You can also purchase a 30-day pass.)

 

The Rockaway route:

• This ferry will make three stops: Rockaway, Sunset Park and Wall Street/Pier 11.

• On weekday mornings, the earliest boat will depart Rockaway at 5:30 a.m. and Sunset Park at 6:15 to arrive at the Wall Street pier by 6:28.

• Commuting the other way? The earliest boat will depart Wall Street at 6:30 a.m. and Sunset Park at 6:45 to arrive in Rockaway by 7:27.

• Traveling on the weekend? You can see that schedule here.

The current East River route:

• The ferry will still make stops at East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan; Hunters Point South, Greenpoint, North and South Williamsburg and Dumbo in Brooklyn; Governors Island; and Wall Street/Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan. So what’s new? There will be an additional vessel, which means more frequent service.

Here’s what else is happening:

Weather

 

All aboard for another week of wonky weather.

Drizzle, fog and wind are on deck this morning, followed by clouds, showers and thunderstorms this evening. Plus a possibility of sunshine poking through here and there, with a sticky high of 75.

The seesawing will continue for the foreseeable future — but hey, it’s May.

Bon voyage.
