The new South Ferry Station that was set to open sometime this month is reportedly delayed because the gap between the platform and the train car is 1-inch too wide according to federal safety regulations. The MTA has no alternative date for the opening of the new South Ferry Station, but they do expect the 1-inch platform repair to cost approximately $200,000.
Aren’t all Subway stations required to have the same clearance between the train car and the platform? I mean, it’s not like the Subway car suddenly became fatter, so how did this mistake slip by inspectors and MTA officials?

Todd Laffler does some of the most wonderful wedding photography that I’ve ever seen. His unique and relaxed approach to capturing his subjects’ most perfect day are definitely reflected in his images. I particularly like the image above because it’s very far away from everything, which is in contrast to the usual wedding photography that I see which is very up-close and in the subject’s face. Somehow, Laffler makes being even so far away from the wedding party a beautiful scene.
Here’s an image from Erica and Greg’s wedding that I just absolutely love.
Visit Todd’s website to see more fantastic photos. I really think you’ll love them!
