A look at the environmental impact statement on the MTA website makes clear that the new station will have a track connection to the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line only, not the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. However, the original balloon loop station will remain in place for turning 5 trains, train storage, and other purposes. Marc Shepherd 03:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I e-mailed the MTA regarding this opinion. They said they have referred my suggestion to their Department of Subways for review and evaluation. When the new terminal is built, the two loop stations will be just like City Hall: closed to the public. The future terminal should be open to both lines, but Lexington Avenue trains should use the new terminal for G.O.'s, service disruptions, or for other necessary reasons. -- Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 05:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
First, I know that the new terminal is open to B-way-7 Av trains only. But after September 11th, All stations south of Chambers were blocked by the tunnel collapse at Cortlandt Street. The MTA didn't have enough sense to send 5, or even 6 trains to South Ferry instead of closing the whole southern portion blocked by Chambers, including South Ferry. God forbid it happens again? Whitehall Street is not as popular as the IRT station is. There should be some sort of track connections from Bowling Green to the new terminal just in case B-way-7 Av trains can't make it to South Ferry, and 5/6 trains could. That was only a suggestion, but who knows? It's...possible. -- Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 14:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
I removed these 2 sentences as they are more of the writers opinion than something for encyclopedic information. I don't disagree that the noise is excessive. The curvature of the station does not slow operations down any more than a stub end terminal would.
"The sharp curvature slows train operation and generates excessive noise. This causes delays for the entire line."

These two sentences were added because these are problems the station is experiencing. The new terminal is being proposed to fix this problem. -- Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 04:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Can someone post a picture of the actual outside entrance to the South Ferry and not the subway station?
Does anyone know what will happen to the South Ferry loop stations? A far as I know, track connections have already been built to lead to the future terminal, and it is only a matter of time before the new station is complete so it wil be used soon. Anyone know the fate of the loops? Anyone know if it will affect the 5 train from terminating at Bowling Green? — Imdanumber1 ( talk • contribs • email) 04:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Is there a reason why the article name is "South Ferry loops" instead of "South Ferry loop"? Is it because of the two stations (e.g. counted as two separate stations instead of one—if that ever was the case, I wouldn't know), or the two tracks or some other reason? I'm not suggesting a page move (yet), I'm just curious as to why the naming is as it is. The lead also needs to refer to both platforms as that is the main premise for this article, as opposed to separate articles for the inner loop and the outer loop. Tinlinkin ( talk) 05:42, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Now that the new station has opened, I am proposing to trim much of the section about the new station in this article. It was necessary before as the station had not opened yet. But now that it has, most of that doesn't have much bearing on this article. Opinions? Tinlinkin ( talk) 06:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
