Subway train route in Newyork city(Penn Station - Battery Park)

Accepted answer

Google is trying to tell you that you can take either the 1 or 2 train to get to South Ferry; just take whichever one comes first. If you tap the "schedule explorer," it will show you both 1 and 2 train routes:

Google Maps schedule explorer showing routes on the 1 and 2 trains

Now that's odd, because if you look at the subway map, you'll see that the 2 train isn't supposed to go to South Ferry at all. It just so happens that some temporary nighttime maintenance work means that the 2 operates as a local and terminates at South Ferry instead of going to Brooklyn. Google Maps knows about the change, so it suggests it as an option. If you change the "Depart At" setting to tomorrow morning, when the maintenance won't be taking place, you'll see that the 2 train is no longer given as an option.

It's a 16 minute ride with 12 intermediate stops. On your phone, if you tap right where it says "16 min (12 stops)," Google Maps will show you the names of the stops you'll be going through. You can also see this on the subway map and inside the subway cars.
