Ease of movement is the very purpose of the subway, and its genius. Sooner or later, the tracks end, but not the connections. By linking to every other transit system in New York, the subway extends its reach far beyond the end of the line. Just blocks from the Path Station, the subway system jumps the track and connects with the New York institution.
便捷的出行是地铁的目的,也是它的独到之处。早晚有一天,地铁会结束其寿命,但是联系不会。通过连接到纽约其他的交通运输系统,地铁延伸的范围远远超出其生命尽头。仅仅就在帕斯站,地铁系统跳出铁轨与纽约的机构连接。
"Security guard Moll Eric changes slopes to St. George."
“警卫莫尔•埃里克改变了圣乔治的斜度。”
Isolated New York Harbor, Staten Island is the only borough in New York with no subway. But five miles away on Manhattan, Staten Island meets the subway at the White Horse Station. The link, the fame Staten Island ferry, it takes you down to the water's edge and beyond. Every weekday, five boats move the equivalent of a large town, 104 daily trips, 70,000 passengers per day, 20 million people a year. Like the subway, the ferry runs 24 hours and never takes holiday
孤立的纽约港,史坦顿岛是唯一在纽约格林威治自治区没有地铁的岛屿。但是五英里外的曼哈顿,史坦顿岛有了白马地铁站。连接,史坦顿岛赫赫有名的渡轮会带你到水边。每个周末,5艘船的承载量相当于一个大城镇,104天的每日旅行, 每天共有70000位乘客,每年有2000万人。就像地铁一样,渡船工作24小时，从不停歇。
