	Wired New York Forum - Transit Plan for Lower Manhattan
		The new South Ferry subway station will overcome the many deficiencies of the existing station, such as platforms the length of just half a subway train, delays caused by slow trains forced to negotiate an almost impossibly tight curve, and a single overcrowded exit.
		Lower Manhattan’s streets are barricaded for security reasons and overcrowded with pedestrians competing for limited space with many types of vehicles, all with a claim to the same space.
		The South Ferry project, which is to be completed in 2007, will redesign the station to accommodate a 10-car subway train; now the station has only a five-car platform, a situation that critics say inconveniences riders and leads to longer travel times.
