The Way of the Wombat

Actually my mental image of a ferry is the Staten Island Ferry, which provides transportation across the Hudson River between Manhattan and Staten Islands. It is the major way to get from lower Manhattan to Staten Island and transports cars as well as passengers. I doubt that any large trucks use it. There are major bridges connecting Staten Island with New Jersey and with Brooklyn.
