Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Sun Feb 3 11:05:47 2013, in response to Re: South Ferry-MTA urged to consider re-opening 'old' South Ferry subway station, posted by michael549 on Fri Feb 1 18:59:20 2013. See, that's the thing. Unlike Intervale Ave, the MTA does want to rebuild South Ferry. But it will cost a lot of money to do so (much more than Intervale did, even when adjusted for inflation). And unlike Intervale, South Ferry is used primarily as a transfer station (people transferring to/from the SI Ferry to/from subways and buses) and there are two other stations nearby that can pick up the slack with the absence of South Ferry 1 line station. Is it really critical to get South Ferry back? Are Bowling Green and Whitehall stations really unable to handle the crowds of people transferring to the subway from the SI Ferry on their own? |
