Transportation
Wall Street being historically a commuter destination, much transportation infrastructure has been developed to serve it. Today, Pier 11 at the foot of the street is a busy terminal for New York Waterway and other ferries. The New York City Subway has three stations under Wall Street:
- Wall Street (IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line) at William Street (2 3 trains)
- Wall Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) at Broadway (4 5 trains)
- Broad Street (BMT Nassau Street Line) at Broad Street (J Z trains)
Motor traffic, particularly during working hours, is often congested but driving late at night and on weekends can be easier. The roads are not arranged according to midtown's distinctive rectangular grid pattern with staggered lights, but have small often one-lane roads with numerous stoplights and stop signs. A highway runs along the East River and the Downtown Manhattan Heliport serves Wall Street.
