MTA Video Release: Old South Ferry Reopening Preparations, Metropolitan Transportation Authority; April 3, 2013; 7:39 YouTube video clip

South Ferry/Whitehall Street is a New York City Subway station complex in the Manhattan neighborhood of Financial District, under Battery Park. The complex is shared by the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line and the BMT Broadway Line. It is served by the:

The 2009 completion of the new South Ferry IRT terminal consolidated the two formerly unconnected stations, adding a free transfer between the 1 and the N, R, and W trains at the older Whitehall Street station. In 2013, the MTA also added a connection to the old South Ferry station while the new station was closed.

This station complex is the third on the site to bear the name South Ferry. The second, opened from 1905 to 2009, was a double balloon loop that served the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue and IRT Lexington Avenue Lines. The outer loop was replaced by a newer station in 2009, but reopened to replace its successor in 2013. The first was an elevated station opened from 1877 to 1950, and served the former IRT Ninth, Sixth, Third, and Second Avenue lines.

Entrances and exits are located at the following places:

There are two separate stations on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, which are individually named South Ferry due to their connection to Manhattan's South Ferry. The name "South Ferry loops" is used for the Old South Ferry platforms, while the newer platforms are called "New South Ferry." The newer island platform station was used by the Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line's 1 service from 2009 to 2012 until it was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The outer loop platform reopened on April 4, 2013, to provide temporary replacement service.
