This article is for subscribers only.
Transit riders in downtown Manhattan’s new subway hub snapped photos and craned necks to gaze up at the 53-foot glass enclosure that crowns the $1.4 billion Fulton Center.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority opened the site today, replacing a decaying underground warren. It links nine different lines to accommodate 300,000 daily riders and renovates a station that was partially ruined in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Riders are met with digital signs, polished tiles and ample sunlight.
