Now, despite the fact that this surely will be posted on the many other blogs it’s been sent to, this truly is worthy of publicity. Heart of Brooklyn (aka HOB) has put together free shuttles to more diversified and cultural destinations throughout Brooklyn than the shuttles to that big blue Swedish box in Red Hook. The HOB Connection has a program of three different shuttles to get locals, tourists and local tourists out and about to see the splendor which we call Brooklyn:
Museum Mile to Brooklyn Style picks up passengers each Sunday outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art (at 10am, 1pm and 3:45pm), and on 42nd Street at Bryant Park (at 10:15am, 1:15pm, and 4pm). It then makes its way to central Brooklyn’s cultural destination, stopping at the main entrances of each of Heart of Brooklyn’s member institutions.
Saturday Scene provides free transportation to the cultural destination from select neighborhoods in Brooklyn on Saturdays, running continuous loops between 10am-6pm from Bay Ridge (second Saturdays), Red Hook (third Saturdays), and Williamsburg (fourth Saturdays).
Target First Saturdays Shuttle carries riders on the first Saturday of each month from 5-10pm between FREE Target First Saturdays at Brooklyn Museum and places to eat, drink and shop in surrounding neighborhoods.

I saw one of these bad boy rolling down eastern parkway the other day and was all “WTF”!
Great idea.

The previous “folley” (that’s a faux-trolley) wound up transporting lots of people doing their marketing. Wonder how many will glom onto this for free transit? Call it the “Free Ikea Water Taxi Phenomenon”…
