A ride on the 1 train down to the end of the line is a one-of-a-kind New York subway experience. To exit at the South Ferry station, riders must be in the first five cars of the train, where they wait for retractable floor grates to close the gap between the doors and the sharply curved platform before heading up the stairs to use the single station exit. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is committing $517 million to usher the original 1905 South Ferry station into the 21st century.
