You think, "I need to get outta this place, pronto!
You start walking south toward the harbor, there you decide you can possibly catch a ferry of some sort. As blocks by blocks pass by you finally see the glimmering sight of water.
The walk has winded you so you take a break sitting on a near by bench. While sitting there on the black hardwood bench you glaze into the bright blue sky, almost slipping into a dream. However, there is no time for that.
You take a quick look at your surroundings
Looking around, you notice a sign that reads...
~~*STATEN ISLAND FERRIES*~~ Purchase MetroCards Here
Below that sign are a row of vending machines; you notice a row of turnstyles not far beyond that.
The prices on the vending machines are much steeper than you are used to. For example, a 10-ride pass costs $40.00, working out to $4 per ride. Or a weekly unlimited ride Metrocard.
There is what used to be called a "token booth" near the turnstyles.
This is strange, because you recalled that the Staten Island Ferry was a free ride when you last went on it.
The turnstyles are close, about 50 feet ahead of your current location.
Upon further examination you also notice a few smaller ferries parked by the Battery Park shoreline a short walk away. Those are a couple of Circle Line ferries (normally used for the Statue of Liberty trip) and a smaller, one-enclosed-deck and one open deck, yellow "New York Water Taxi".
Do You:
Head straight toward the token booth
Walk toward the docked ferries and jump aboard
