NEW YORK - One million riders in just under three months.

The citywide ferry service is expected to hit that milestone Wednesday.

It wasn't projected to get there until August 3.

But by the end of the day, the city says the ferry system will have served 625,000 riders on the East River route, 221,000 on the Rockaway line, and 154,000 on its South Brooklyn route.

The service launched on May 1.

In celebration, all drinks sold on the ferries today will be half price, including beer and wine.

The city also says anyone who uses the NYC Ferry app to activate a ticket this week will be entered into a contest to win a free one-year pass.
