Posted by RonInBayside on Mon Mar 23 01:57:02 2009, in response to Re: New South Ferry track map, posted by Michael549 on Mon Mar 23 01:33:00 2009. "Even though the new subway terminal is a few steps away outside from the ferry terminal doorways - it means dealing with rainy days, snowy days and other bad weather days just to get to and from the subway trains. Yes, riders to/from Bowling Green also have to deal with the weather, and plenty of times there are folks running to the ferry terminal to not miss a boat."The weather excuse is nonsense. The #1 train and R,W trains run frequently, so there is no excuse for "missing the boat" and the short walk between the Ferry terminal and the new station will not cause a problem except to a whiner looking for an excuse. Yes the boat leaves every 30-60 minutes. You want to be on time to Manhattan? Don't get on the SI Railway too late to catch your ferry (and that part has nothing to do with South Ferry!) Want to make sure you're on time getting back to SI? Select the boat departure you need to connect with the SI Railway or SI bus you need from the ferry schedule, then make sure you're at your starting subway stop with a little lead time. If you miss the Ferry it's strictly your own fault, not because of the new subway station. In the future it's certainly possible the TA will make a biogger or connecting canopy for the convenience of passemgers; the station's design does not preclude it. |
