1. In that big of a hurry coming off the ferry to where a couple of minutes makes a big difference.

Leave work or wherever on time to catch the ferry. If a whole boatload of people (pun intended) can manage to do it, why can't the stragglers?

2. Are too lazy to want to walk to Rector for the (1), Bowling Green for the (4)/(5) or Whitehall Street (actually I believe Stone Street) for the (R).


Tough luck. If they want door to door service, take a taxi, bike, or drive.

3. Are not comfortable walking the distance between any of those stations and the terminal, especially late at night.

This might hold some merit, but it is only 1/10 of a mile from the ferry terminal to Whitehall Street on the R, Bowling Green is 3/10 of a mile. If the area is as up and coming as you claim every time you push for increased service on the Lexington Avenue line from Brooklyn Bridge to Bowling Green, are there not enough people around to make the area feel safe enough for some? Maybe you need to rethink your whole reopen the inner loop plan.

4. Have physical ailments that make walking to any of those stations difficult.

This argument makes the most sense, but seeing as anyone would have to navigate stairs to get to the old SF platform most likely, I know few people with physical ailments who prefer stairs over walking, even longer distances.

5. Any combination of the above.

6. ALL of the above.


I don't need to address these.
