Saint George is a Staten Island Railway station in the neighborhood of Saint George, Staten Island, New York. Located at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal Building on the lower level, it is the northern terminus on the main line. It is also one of two stations that requires the US$2.25 fare on entry and exit.
This station is handicapped accessible and it is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.[4][5]
This station is open cut with a four-lane bus terminal and parking lot above it. The station has five active platforms and ten tracks, numbered 1 through 10 from east to west. There is also a sixth platform to the west that is a passageway to the North Municipal Parking Field on Richmond Terrace, and towards Richmond County Bank Ballpark, one of two access points to this station. The track ballast is present through this construction zone. The mezzanine area has separate fare control areas, east side for entering passengers, and west side for exiting. Station booths and MetroCard vending machines are located on both sides. Just before each platform bay are the old destination indicators to the left and right of each platform entrance, corresponding to each departing track. There are green bulbs above these displays that indicate where the next train will be leaving from. This station originally opened with nothing overhead, no bus bays, no ramps. It was the site of a 1949 fire that nearly destroyed the terminal.
