The new $530 million South Ferry subway terminal is opening today, after years, and more recently months, of delays. The station's new platform will allow all ten subway cars' doors to open (before only five could open on the short platform). The AP reports, "Governor David Paterson and other officials are scheduled to attend Monday's ribbon-cutting ceremony." It is also the first new station in 20 years and has some beautiful elements, like a topographic mosaic map of NYC. Photo: Ben Yankee on Flickr
