While the rest of New York City’s transit system has seen a decline in ridership, the State Island ferry — NYC’s cheapest cruise — has seen a rise in ridership, the SI Advance reports. From the article:

The ferry has seen a 10 percent rise in riders over the past three years, as the flagging economy drove many budget-conscious commuters off increasingly expensive express buses and onto the free orange boat to Manhattan.

Of course, droves of new riders have created some drawbacks: apparently catching a power nap or purchasing a tall boy for the ride home is getting next to impossible.
