    MTA - 50th Street Subway Station - C/E
    Bruce K.

    In and out of here several times over the weekend as the hotel was closest to this station and the C/E lines went to where I wanted to go. There is an elevator from the street to the mezzanine level on the north side of 49th and Eighth. There is then an escalator to the lower level. There is no elevator or escalator for the uptown trains. The mezzanine level is the ticketing concourse and has the turnstiles that access the A and C trains and then another set of stairs down to the E trains. A little dim but not dirty. I did not spot much trash or graffiti. And no homeless hanging around this weekend. There is no special art or decoration here - it's all business with "50" in white lettering on black tile. Overall, not great but not bad. An escalator for downtown trains would get another star. [Review 15636 overall - 233 in New York - 1140 of 2021. And with this review, I am now caught up on five a day for the year to date!]

    An MTA station is at 50th Street and 8th Avenue. It seems average which is okay. Sometimes it seems trains take a long time. Many times it gets hot. There's no air in here so you can't breathe and you get sweaty. It could be a lot better. It serves the C and E Trains. This is a chance to make a transfer. It doesn't seem that busy. The other stations around it get the big crowds. Here it doesn't have as many attractions. The rats though seem to like coming here. Cleaning it would be helpful. It for sure would be a good thing getting rid of the trash in it. This causes track fires which delay trains.

    If you are at M & T Bank, be careful because they'll keep nickel and diming until you have an MTA - the A stands for Account. Nice station just a little bit north of Times Square which is usually fairly busy but not as busy as Times Square and Columbus Circle and such. It has Wi-Fi and seems pretty well-maintained. Just be careful around here at night.

    This place takes me home sometimes. And every time I get on C or E it does indeed take my home. So, on that note, it deserves 5 stars because I do need to be taken home after a long fun weekend in times square. Although it could use a lil less traveling crowds. Slow walkin' folks. And tourists in general. Anyhoo it takes me home and that matters. So the one star less is for the furry friends that come and go and that just run in circles. I do love animals but these furry guys actually scare me because they look like rattatta evoled raticate! If u play pokemon go you'll get the image.

    This station serves the local C and E trains. It is wide and never fend the appearance of overcrowded. There is a token booth clerk operated by a human being MTA employee. Accessible ramp is available for the physically challenged. Three stars since this station is local it can be quiet and this station is eerie, thus be vigilant and watch your back New York!

    This train location is extremely hot. It would have been nice if the C and E train were on the same platform but no big deal. Passengers at this station are alerted when the E train is coming. This station can be somewhat deserted at times and it also has rats but I guess that's pretty much every train station who am I kidding. The great thing is the C train at this station is only one stop away from the A train which goes express.

    Like rats?

I've taken 1 from Port Authority saving 10 minutes of foot traffic in busy Times Square that makes one stop to get here. Be careful of panhandler's and always watch your back, purses and cellphone. You're not guaranteed to see NYPD on patrol, and can't always rely on CCTV. Download the OMNY app, use Apple Pay or you can always use and reload your Metro card using the self-serve kiosks. Pro-Tip: NYC has been dealing with a lot of Immigrants on the loose. Be smart while commuting safely.

It is deep in the theater district but with most of the theaters closed, there was very little traffic this evening when we departed. Each platform has same-level fare control at the center and there are no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfer between directions. Each fare control area has a token booth, turnstile bank, and newsstand. The station is reasonably clean with minimal litter and decent lighting. There did not appear to be much security so we snapped our photos and departed swiftly. It is definitely showing some age with grubby walls and yellowing light fixtures. It is one of the oldest stations on the New York MTA, having opened in 1904 and it also one of the busiest, as it's located closest to Times Square. It was one of the original 28 stations of the subway between City Hall and 145th Street. Today, the station is on the 1 line (and the 2 line during late nights). It is not handicapped accessible and has only one platform level immediately below the street. There are two side platforms with four tracks. The two center lines are for express trains on the 2 and 3 lines and do not stop here. The northbound local platform has the 1 train with the next stop being 59th Street - Columbus Circle (towards 242nd Street) and the southbound local platform next stop is Times Square - 42nd Street (towards South Ferry). The station contains the artwork Liliana Porter's Alice, The Way Out, a series of mosaics installed in 1994 depicting characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

Worth it for $2.75. The station opened on July 10, 1919. It was remodeled in 1973 and that's why you'll see those glazed red brick walls.

There a bunch of stores and restaurants as soon as you get out as well. It's one of the better stations considering all of the traffic thru here, as far being clean and safe. There are count down clocks here as well which I think is or is very close to being standard in all of the stations. I think there are two exits here I have only used the one that lets you out right at 49th St. There is a small store here too in the station which is convenient. Drinks, snacks, newspapers, lotto, etc. It's not open 24 hours though and I don't believe on the weekend either.

It might sometimes be called Midtown - 57th Street in some references and is directly adjacent to Carnegie Hall. The station is completely handicapped accessible, which I found helpful today as I was dragging my rollaboard and not interested in going down a flight or two of stairs. Surprisingly, the elevator did NOT smell of pee! The mezzanine level has the usual fare controls including ticketing kiosks and turnstiles. There is another elevator down to the platform level. For a station that is over 100 years old (it opened in 1919), I found it reasonable clean and well lit. Better than many of the MTA stations on Manhattan.

This also means it's never a long wait. Close to here are lots of attractions. There's Carnegie Hall right off here, and Central Park is a few blocks up. Also lots of places to spend money. There's both fast food and upscale high end stuff. It can get pretty busy. Lots to see around here. The station is average but the location is one of the best in the entire system.

I just want to make sure that I'm clear about the failed "Lowest Price Guarantee". After making two separate efforts to clarify why Precision's price quote was so high and why the Lowest Price Guarantee wasn't being honored, I went with another company. And, I'm really happy that I did. The company that earned my business, was not only comparable, but, in my opinion even superior. Muhammad's response appears to indicate that the companies that gave me price quotes were somehow inferior. Precision has been in business 18 years, and the company I went with has been in business longer. Precision's price quote was much higher than the competition and was for a Cadillac or Volvo sedan, not the beautiful new black SUV that picked up my girlfriend. Lastly, the professional chauffer that was our driver, was impeccably dressed in a black suit and tie. Our driver had over 30 years experience as a licensed, professional chauffer. This gentleman even showed up 25 minutes early! What an incredible experience! Muhammad, I truly appreciate your response and your generous offer. The purpose of this updated review was to clarify that the company that we went with, was not inferior in any way. For some reason, you referenced Uber or a taxi service in your response. I hired a superior, licensed, insured and incredibly professional competitor. Price was certainly not the only deciding factor. I'm hopeful, that this could be a learning opportunity for you and you organization in regards to your " Lowest Price Guarantee". Thank you again.
