    A fairly good train station very close to Fordham University. The train to Manhattan is about 20 minutes or so. Very convenient.

    This is the worst . The area is populated so it's super crowded and many times the trains skip this stop ! Ugh

    MTA Metro North Station - Botanical Garden - Taking the train from the Bronx to Union Station

    MTA Metro North Station - Botanical Garden

    Interesting that the trains and the MTA are not connected…read more After exploring the New York Botanic Garden in the Bronx I needed to head back to Brooklyn with my hubby and our daughter to meet my nephew for dinner. This was so much faster than a twenty minute walk to another station in the Bronx. Fortunately my daughter has the train app, so she bought three tickets for about $5 a pop and after a short wait, we were on our way. Once we got to Union Square we exited, paid for the MTA and once again, we were on our way. Thinking about fare evasion? Don't do it! The fine for not paying for your ticket could be a whopping $100!!! And if you think that you can just sneak in on the train. Think twice. There was a train conductor that was checking if each passenger had a ticket. IYKYK.

    Took the Metro North train to the Botanical Garden for the 1st time and it saved sooo much time…read morethan! Highly recommend over taking the crowded MTA trains and buses or even driving and paying for parking. The train leaves you right across the street the Botanical Garden entrance (Mosholu entrance). Check the train schedule... easy 20 minute ride from Grand Central Station. So convenient that I have learned my lesson and know that I know where the station is and the train schedule, will take the Metro North going to/from Botanical Garden going forward. Station itself wasn't crowded and platform has directions to inform which way trains are headed. Kiosks machines are there to buy your tickets.... The boards inform you when the trains are coming and if delayed... Tip: Get the MTA TrainTime app and purchase tix via mobile... kiosks don't always work and more expensive paying on the train. Just remember to activate ticket before boarding as there is a time limit... Don't stand near the edge of the platform and esp turn away when express trains go by... that whosh of air! Heading back to NY, the Metro North track 4 is where you want to be. Take the overpass bridge to the other side of the tracks.

    Average Metro North Train Station…read more Been using this location for my Metro North (Harlem Line) use since the late 80's. Not too much has changed other than some cosmetic differences on the platform. The best modification was the digital board they added with the schedule (Grand Central bound side only) - relying on the garbled speakers always sucked. At least the train fare went to something decent.....because it doesn't go to the actual rail service or their schedules. Inside is drab and blah. Sometimes it smells, sometimes it doesn't. I never bothered with the store/eatery inside or any of the overpriced vending machines. They have 2 ticket machines inside, but probably need 2 more since the IQ challenged sometimes tend to take a much longer time to operate the simple machine. There is a booth inside with an agent sometimes, but for anyone in the early morning or evening would be out of luck. There is some slight parking about a block from station, but the area isn't an area I'd want to leave a car at night. At night, sometimes shady characters can be inside or outside the station. During any time here, there are also some strange people.....but that's everywhere. There's one thin stairwell (one stairwell for each side) for exiting passengers and depending on how crowded the train is, it could be a few minutes before you can exit. There is a cab stand across the street and the cab drivers will be on top of most exiting train riders, but I guess it's their job. There's not much room for cars to wait for people they're picking up. There is the 7 bus across the street for the station - but much like the Metro North itself, the bus can be late at times. There are much better stations and much worse stations, but this isn't too bad.

    This station is about 30 minutes from grand central. Its much faster during the week when it runs…read moreexpress. The station itself definitely needs updating but it's fully functional. Walking through the station it looks like a drab dungeon. If your new to the area there are usually a few cabs waiting outside the station if needed.

    Beautiful and spacious terminal. The architecture is truly impressive. Especially after visiting…read moreother terminals in other countries, I've really come to appreciate how beautiful and grand this terminal is. It gets busy but that's to be expected. There's a dining hall downstairs with restrooms on the west and east side. There's plenty of food options but I can't speak on their affordability. The Vanderbilt hall is an open area and right now, they have a miniso popup with a YOYO installation. It's super cute to check out.

    Grand Central Station is one of the most ancient and historic landmarks of New York City. I…read moresometimes pass by here if I have any plans in midtown and the whole station is very nice to be in. I love the high ceilings and old marble all over the station. It smells really clean and fresh when I'm come here. There are elevators and escalators besides the stairs to get to your train. This station houses the Metro North trains and recently they started to have the LIRR but got to expand on that. The ticket booth looks very ancient and nice to buy tickets at. This train station hub is dimly lit with big heavy chandeliers. There are quite few wooden benches to rest in while you wait for your train. The cool thing about this train station is it connects to the MTA subway train lines of the 4, 5, 6, and 7.
