City Hall has a single island platform serviced by the BMT Broadway Line local, currently consisting of the R, W, and late-night N trains. The fare control is located in the center of the platform, with exits on either end leading to Warren Street and Murray Street. The station's configuration, and the wide-open staircases to the sky above, is responsible for another distinguishing note: the number of birds that roost there.

abstract
| - City Hall has a single island platform serviced by the BMT Broadway Line local, currently consisting of the R, W, and late-night N trains. The fare control is located in the center of the platform, with exits on either end leading to Warren Street and Murray Street. The station's configuration is unique, in that you enter from the sidewalk adjacent to City Hall Park directly onto the station platform, which makes this one of the widest platforms in the system. The northbound tracks are actually located in City Hall Park, while the southbound tracks are under the east side of Broadway. The fare control area is fenced off from the actual subway platforms. There is also an active tower at the north end, with a window that lets (downtown) waiting passengers observe Transit Authority goings-on. The station's configuration, and the wide-open staircases to the sky above, is responsible for another distinguishing note: the number of birds that roost there. This station was overhaul in the late 1970s. MTA did fix the station's structure and the overhaul appearance. It replaces the original wall tiles, old signs, and incandescent lighting to the 70's modern look wall tiles, signs and fluorescent lights. It also fixed staircases and platform edges.
