Ended up being the closest subway station to our hotel in midtown Manhattan, the 42 street - Bryant…read morePark station consists of two different stations, one for the IRT Flushing Line and one for the IND Sixth Avenue Line. My wife and I used this station as our gateway to get to other parts of Manhattan and ultimately to get back to JFK airport. The NYC subway system originally operated as three separate, competing companies [IRT - Interborough Rapid Transit; BMT - Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit; IND - Independent Subway System] before unifying in 1940. Numbered trains represent former IRT lines, whereas Lettered trains represent former BMT and IND trains. The Flushing Line platform (1 island platform with 2 tracks) opened in 1926 as part of the IRT. It now services the 7 train. The Sixth Avenue Line station (2 island platform with 4 tracks) opened in 1940 as part of the IND. It now services the B, D, F, and M trains. An underground passageway between the two stations was completed in 1971, allowing for free in-system transfers. The complex is the 13th busiest station in the system.

Located in MidTown Manhattan, Times Square, Garment District, also Hell's Kitchen is nearby. This MTA station serves several Subway trains including the A, C & E lines which I trequently use. You'll find stairs all through the area which will bring you downstairs to the lower level. I've mostly seen newsstands and ATM's throughout the station. Be careful of panhandler's and always watch your back. I frequently see NYPD on patrol, during major political events I've also seen US Military personnel, but you can't always rely on their presence or the use of CCTV.

Access to Upper West Side of Manhattan, NYC this 110 Street Cathedral Parkway subway station is…read moreserved by the B train on weekdays, the C local train at all times except nights, and the A train during late nights only. This subway station is located adjacent to Frederick Douglass Circle, a traffic circle located at the northwest corner of Central Park at the intersection of Eighth Avenue (Frederick Douglass Boulevard and Central Park West) and 110th Street (Cathedral Parkway and Central Park North) a gateway to Harlem. This station is located at West 110th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard at the northwest corner of Central Park. The station is mosaic name tablet is in midnight blue background surrounded in black border. This midnight blue mosaic color is vibrant. There is no mezzanine above the tracks which allow a free transfer between directions, northbound/southbound. For transfers to either northbound/southbound direction straphangers would have to exit the system to street level and walk to stairwell re-entry for access with OMNY card. I always find mezzanine or passageway transfers beneficial without loosing my paid fare and without exiting to the street in the winter months. There is a customer service booth. The subway entrance/exit kiosk is modern and very simple design, but serves as function and operate rather than beauty and ornate. Artwork "Migrations" by Christopher Wynter contains three different areas of mosaic panel installation, two on each platform and one on the full-time mezzanine. It appears very muted colors. It fends a sense of the universal search for the feeling of home. "Overall, the panels represent the ideas of uprooting, migration, and progress in symbolic form." - Christopher Wynter, artist

You'll notice the 2018 recent bright renovations, including digital signage, and ability to cross between Uptown and Downtown lines make the station pleasant to use, if you don't mind the stairs. Nevertheless, the MTA SHAMEFULLY DID NOT INSTALL ANY ELEVATORS when they invested in the 2018 renovation - OUTRAGEOUS, considering that this station abuts the Northwest corner of Central Park, at the North Woods section! (Also, Morningside Park starts one block away!) People who cannot easily navigate the stairs, such as with strollers, carriages, or wheelchairs cannot easily use this subway station!!! Hard to believe, given the station is at a traffic circle, that there wasn't some location for MTA to accommodate the required elevators to make subway travel to this part of Central Park or Morningside Park easy for everyone!

I know I'm home. I always felt secure because there's always been employee in the booth if I had a question. I didn't look to see today if there was someone on duty. I heard they were all going to be placed working on the platforms now! I'm not recommending one way or another. This station is a necessity so take the train and come see me. Plus I like that it has the look of a classic old school train station.

A little less easy to transfer between Express and Local in the same direction, since they are on separate platforms, although this station is ADA compliant with full accessibility. I typically transfer alternatively at TimeSquare or similar which don't require a platform change. Note - There is elevator work being done, which should be completed in early 2026. That being said, when your here check out the public art in the crossunder. In 2003, MTA installed the series of glass mosaic murals by American multimedia artist Eric Fischl called "Garden of Circus Dreams," which depict dream episode of a commuter in a circus visit fantasy.

It will be interesting to see what replaces it. The system is huge and gets you to places at a most reasonable rate. It takes some practice to know which train and platform to use, The system is over 100 years plus old. The newer stations have elevators but it is mainly stairs in the original stations. Also washrooms are few and difficult to find at most stations. If you cannot walk far, I would advise using another mode of transport. Many trains have standing room only.

My stop is Utica Ave, there are two sides to exit Fulton Park and Utica Ave that connects you to the B-46 bus. I get out on the Fulton side that leads you to Fulton St and Stuyvesant Ave across the street from Boys and Girls High School, adjacent from Fulton Park. There is no token booth, no one for customer service, and seldom NYPD available, however it is anything but grimey (that's Ebonics for dirty) and the four kiosk are always working but please be advised some mornings these kiosks do not take dollar bills. This exit is well lit and clean. The murals are a stationery to the culture of working class people and youth that attend neighboring schools that access the A/C trains daily. 4 stars because the MTA tore down our Token Booth.
