Posted by Michael549 on Mon Feb 4 04:28:16 2013, in response to Re: South Ferry-MTA urged to consider re-opening 'old' South Ferry subway station, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Sun Feb 3 11:05:47 2013. From South Ferry, the #4 and #5 are good for traveling up the Eastside of Manhattan, and for travel to/from Brooklyn. At the Fulton Street station the #4 and #5 have important transfers to the A and C trains. In addition the #4 and #5 provide travel to/from the Atlantic Avenue-Pacific Street complex and downtown Brooklyn business and shopping areas.From the South Ferry-Whitehall Street station, the R-train is good for travel up the Eastside of Manhattan, travel to/from Brooklyn. At the Jay Street/Borough Hall/MetroTech station the R-train has a very important transfer to/from and A, C and F-trains. In addition the R-train from South Ferry-Whitehall Street provide travel to/from the Atlantic Avenue-Pacific Street complex and downtown Brooklyn business and shopping areas. From the South Ferry, the #1 train provides travel access to/from the Westside of Manhattan - lower, middle, and upper westside sections of Manhattan - which none of the other lines that meet at South Ferry do so directly. The new transfer between the #1 and the R-train provide added flexibility for getting around. I travel often between the lower westside-Chelsea and South Ferry, where the #1-train provides the direct route. There is no other simple - direct pathway. While there are two other stations at or near South Ferry - #4 and #5 at Bowling Green, and the R-train - some trips are simply just a lot easier to manage, and less time consuming by taking the #1 train directly to and from the Ferry.
