MTA - 57th St/7th Ave Subway Station

This station is not far from Columbus Circle, John Jay College, the Theatre District, and Times Square. While other trains may service these sites more directly, I will often walk to this station to go home from the above places because I need the Q. The station has countdown clocks, some seats, no escalators and elevators. It is clean enough, with enough lighting, to wait a few minutes for a train. There is limited access to the first and last cars of trains arriving and departing the station. You can exit or enter the subway but the platform is narrow, as it abuts the stairways at these sections that lead to the token booth level of the station.

When this station opened on July 10, 1919, the BMT Broadway Line had ended north of this station as six trackways, of which only two tracks continued to the 60th Street Tunnel to Queens. The other four trackways, both the express tracks and the outermost trackways both of the outermost trackways are ramps which have never been used curve slightly west before ending, which were a provision for the line to run to Upper Manhattan via Central Park West.

Cleaner thsn most, q connects to n and r, ,u might have to run upstairs and to other tracks to get to your destination.

I am here every day and am often frustrated about construction and the design of the station. It feels like it takes forever entering or leaving the station. Too many people just walk extremely slow here or stand lost in the way. Tourists block the way with their luggage. Very annoying. There are many tourists here generally. Probably because of the hotels that are right at the station.

believe in ALLAH GOD is the most important ...

I train should have been here 3 minutes ago- after waiting 5 minutes. Nothing no train no announcement. I was feeling good, getting to work early. That’s not going to happen now. I am really tired of this.

Interestingly addition to MTA. Wish they would spend more on the actually making their service better but what can you do. If for some reason you have nothing to do/you haven't been back to NYC in a while, it's worth visiting just to see how different everything has become. You'll find some hipstery shopping and food places here.

All the yellow lines converge here and as far as subway stations go, this one is generally pretty clean. I enter on the 57th st end, so experience may vary.

Dirty and old . If u have been on the mtr in HK be prepared for huge downgrade . But better than Indian rail system . Oh staff look angry and grumpy but they will help , even if the look pissed most of the time

Clean and pretty busy station. Outer tracks for the N/R/W, and inner tracks for the Qand some N's to/from 96th St - 2 Av station. Free Wi-Fi, phone service, and departure boards here.
