NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 10: Commuters walk through the newly opened Fulton Center train station in lower Manhattan on November 10, 2014 in New York City. The station was scheduled to open in 2007 as part of the rebuilding effort of lower Manhattan after 9/11, but the project ran into cost overruns and years of delays. The original plan for the facility, which has a glass and steel shell and 66,000 square feet of retail and office space, was projected at $750 million and nearly doubled to $1.4 billion before it was finished. The station features a 10-foot-high glass opening , or oculus, which sits above an atrium that lets sunlight down into two levels below street level. The station makes it easier to connect between nine subway lines: the A, C, J, Z, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Riders will eventually also be able to connect to the E and 1 trains, as well as the PATH.
