    Reviews With Photos - MTA - Parsons Blvd Subway Station

    R.I.P to my comb
    Noushky F.

    Parsons Blvd is a very interesting subway stop. Often, it's filled with business professionals and students from the nearby high schools. The smell of weed on the platform is overwhelming. I know it's the students being rebellious before class. Ladies, be cautious of being alone in this subway stop. I can't tell you how many times, I almost flipped out being approached by a random homeless or man, while I was listening to music. What can I tell you, it's Jamaica Ave. Advice: Always have a bottle of perfume or cologne in your bag during your travels. There is a such thing as a subway must that sticks onto your clothes. I didn't know that was possible until I smelled my business coat. Being a communications major, I have been taught that odors from eating lunch or going to a public places can follow you into the office which can deter people from speaking to you.

    When the can is overflowing, don't worry, dump your trash on top of each other's trash... Fun times

    Not much to say, Parsons is a pretty big low key station with a underpass that's frequently used by the high school kids and the weirdos mumbling to themselves in Arabic. It always smells like piss, weed, and curry. The station is busy in the morning and during rush hour but after that it's very desolate and you need to be careful of your surroundings. The only good thing about it is for me that the station is next to the 83 bus, so it's the first stop, I can get a seat on the bus without having to go to Jamaica Center.

I never quite understand how some people would still choose to litter despite there's literally a trash can right next to you. Dirty tracks littered with garbage as usual. Didn't see a family of rats running on the tracks though. Hahaha, already considering myself lucky today. The newest thing you'll probably see out of the station is the signage indicating the station's name. There's dried up paint peeling off from the cracked walls. Nothing like some sad, dull-looking walls facing you as if this is how an unwelcome hello feels like lol. Surprisingly, there isn't much garbage to be found on the ground. Every few steps you'll see a random piece of paper or some kind of used tissue. I am not saying it is 100% spotless but definitely not the dirtiest either. Not sure if I was expecting garbage to be littered everywhere or something. On the bright side, I peer from the corner of my eye and see that there are the women's and men's restrooms. Now, don't be expecting these restrooms to be too clean though (iykyk). Definitely do consider yourself to be lucky if you still happen to see some toilet paper left over in your stall and the toilet seat to be free of pee stains. The inside of the E trains is surprisingly clean. Can also say the same for the inside of the J/Z trains as nonelook too shabby either. The platforms for E/J/Z trains look spotless. Besides its sorta new looking signage, the only other uplifting thing is the vibrant center art-piece plastered on the wall. It's a bit out of place but in a positive way. As you can see from the rest of the dull-scheme station, it looks awfully sharp especially how new and colorful it seems. The flash of color brings/pops out a distinctive, outstanding comparison.

I'm not too knowledgeable on this system but I tapped my credit or debit card and paid the fare, a transfer is added on for a one way continuous ride. I think you can pay with your phone as well. Back in the days, in my youth, I could travel underground blindfolded nowadays , assistance with navigating is needed. Heck do you know how long I've been above ground or driving. Try 1993 when I moved out of NYC. When I came back a decade later I was driving. So I looked around and saw a whole heap of stairs and an escalater coming up. "Say my man, is there an elevator." I had to use my street vernacular, I still got it! He directed me across the street. I'm now in the train station , I confidently hopped on the first escalator, I went down to the wrong level and had to come back up to the second level. Of course asking for assistance. Okay, we're on the train and the train has left the station, NEXT! Bryant Park, my stop. Inspire more,Yelp more!

Now, even with repairs at certain stations it's like every 3 minutes there is another train coming after the first one left. The trains are new. Found them to be clean compared to some of the other lines. What I love about the 7 train "International Express Train" for its diverse neighborhood at every station that you get off. It's like an adventure and you are venturing to another country, smell the fragrance and aromas of the food being cooked. Every country that is represented and you find enclave of eateries and shops. It's like a mini United Nations on the 7 Train. -The MTA 7 Train will take you to Citi Field for Mets Game. Get off at Willets Point Station. Also Flushing Meadow Park, and US open as well as other events. -Get off at Main Street- Last stop towards Flushing. Chinatown- Lots of food shopping and dining experience. Don't forget the Sky View Mall-You will see segment of the mall as train heads underground toward Main Street. Just a few descriptions of the stations on the 7 train to whet your appetite. Will post update soon on the other stations. Look forward to when the 7 Train goes into Brooklyn.

    I am no stranger to the New York City area as I have visited here several times in the past…read more However, this was my first time at the "Jamaica LIRR (Long Island Railroad) Station". Located roughly 4 miles north of John F. Kennedy International Airport and in the heart of Queens, this is one of the major transfer points to get into through the city and the neighboring boroughs. After a long (5+ hour) flight into JFK Airport, I took the Jamaica AirTrain (from JFK to the LIRR Station). And this was around 11:30pm Eastern Time. However, once we arrived at the station, I used the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) app that told us exactly where to go. There were even a couple of employees that told us how the payment system works (which was $10 per person as of October 2025). Once we actually arrived to the Jamaica LIRR Station, I must say that this place has a very stark uninviting look to it. Definitely one that I would recommend avoiding during the wee hours of the night. However, there were other "tourists" waiting to connect to Penn Station which all New Yorkers know is in the heart of Manhattan. I only know this since they had several carry-on pieces of luggage as well. The reason for the three stars? This station wreaked of urine and sweat. And if that's not enough, I saw a gentleman urinating directly on the tracks. But the icing on the cake was seeing a big rat crawling on the side of the tracks. Seeing this may make your stomach turn upside down but this is a big metropolitan city and you must expect the unexpected. I am also from a big city (San Francisco) so witnessing this did not gross me out that much. All in all, the "Jamaica LIRR Station" leaves a lot to be desired. But I highly recommend coming here during the commute times or at least before 10:00pm when the vast majority of the general public is already at their destinations. However, the ticket information employee was helpful as well a local that told us exactly which train to take to get to Manhattan. With that said and done, I am giving this subway station just an average three stars.

There are multiple entrances located in each neighborhood. It is located nearby Queens Courthouse vicinity. It sits on Queens Boulevard, a major thoroughfare. It became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 1990 with elevators (source: https://www.mta.info/accessibility/stations). There is no mosaic tile or mosaic name tablet which is very disappointing as I always have a predilection, appreciation and enjoyment looking at these tiles for artisans skilled trade tile setter and the MTA NYC Transit history (no, I am not a transit buff nor a Big Apple history buff). This subway station contains yellow trim line with a black border and small "UNION TURNPIKE" captions below in white lettering on black tiles which is rather unappealing and boring. There are several MTA buses where straphangers are able to connect at this station. The mezzanines level is split in half which is gargantuan and wide making it a challenge for straphangers to connect to Q46 bus line that runs along Union Turnpike. This western half of the mezzanine had its token booth closed and removed, ergo totaling inconvenient. Aggravating to straphangers.

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.
