South Ferry has two tracks as well, the shuttle from Bowling Green where only the center doors on the cars could open since it was a tighter radius.When I worked in LIC and it was snowing sure wish the shuttle still ran to get to the Ferry. |

City Hall's curve is nowhere near as sharp as even South Ferry's outer loop. Easy enough to Google pictures of each. South Ferry needs gap filler panels but City Hall does not. |

I was asking about the physical measurements of the two stations - the length of the platform and the angle of the curve. We all know that City Hall is ornate. |

OK - but when the SF station originally opened, I don’t think the inner platform existed. Regardless, I am just talking about the length of the platforms and the degree of the curve. |

I don't know the curvature; but the South Ferry outer loop accommodated six of the original cars (which had doors at the ends only, and didn't open the first or last doors on a train, and five cars with center doors.The inner loop accommodated ten cars, center doors only. I assume the City hall outer loop was a similar length. |

Was South Ferry built originally with those two loop tracks? Yes it was Mike. There was no platform on the inner loop as built. That was added later. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

But you were responding to a post about City Hall.As for South Ferry, I think it makes sense to talk about two separate loops, because there is one loop that originates on the west side and one loop that originates on the east side. The west side only has access to the outer loop, whereas the east side has access to both. |

In January and February 2021, and realized I'd been holding my breath for nearly a year. :-)Then several boosters, and had planned to get the latest this month. But different viruses, and vaccines, behave differently. And if I hadn't had the vaccine in early 2021, with my age and medical condition, I'm sure COVID would have killed me by now. |
