I was on Franklin Avenue needing to go to the other side of Brooklyn ... Utica Avenue. I mapped it out via iPhone directions. I first had to enter the Franklin Avenue station find the "S" as in shuttle to catch the C train to Utica. First, finding the "S" was a maze at Franklin Avenue platform; I climbed a myriad of flights of stairs, up, down and sideways to catch the Shuttle. I boarded the S train and two stops-Park Place-then Franklyn Avenue. Then climb more stairs to catch C train to Utica. All I can say is, this procedure allowed me to really walk steps to close my rings on my Apple Watch faster than usual. The shuttle us s good idea and yes, you do see elevated perspectives like Botanical Garden. Now, let the MTA work on the ten flights of stairs I climb from the 4th Avenue station to catch the G.

The Franklin Avenue Shuttle is a MTA shuttle service operating in Brooklyn. I used to frequent this…read morestation in high school as it takes you from Bed-Stuy to Crown Heights to Prospect Park. Wow the improvements from what I can remember includes an elevator and stain glass windows. The platform used to be wood frame that would shake, you could feel the vibration as the train pulled into the station, now it is sturdy and concrete. There are now two trains cars which run between Franklin Ave and Prospect Park. The north bound Franklin Ave station has one escalator going up and you will have to take the ascending steps down stairs or take an elevator to the street level or to the lower level where you can connect to the "C" train. The south bound stop, Prospect Park connects you to the "Q", "B" or "D" train in either direction. When I was growing up the first station stop on the Franklin Shuttle after leaving Franklin Avenue was Dean Street, which remained open until 1996, but due to lack of ridership that station was torn down. On November 1, 1918, a five-car wooden elevated train derailed and crashed into one of the new tunnel walls, killing at least 93 people. This accident, called the "Malbone Street Wreck" was the worst MTA accident ever. Four stars because it is a clean station there's always an attendant visible however, the escalator does not operate consistently, it's like throwing dice...maybe it will work....maybe not.

I don't travel within Queens, just know this is the best way to NYC from LaGuardia. Look out the window and you can see some nice city views.

This review is for anyone flying into LaGuardia, terminal A and looking for an alternative to a taxi. Take the M60 bus to Astoria, and transfer for free, to the N train for a direct trip to the east side or Midtown.

Nevins Street is a good MTA station. It's not big but it's not bad. Location is the best thing…read moreabout it. Good that it's close to a few other lines. The inside is pretty decent and the trains are on time. A lot smaller compared to the Barclays. It serves the 2, 3, 4, and 5 Trains. There's not so much commotion here, which makes it easier to get on trains. It's one of the stations for Boerum Hill. There's a few restaurants outside the station, mostly fast food and chains, but there's a few better ones. Fulton Street Mall is also here. They have the basic stores you find in any mall. I think it's pretty okay. It's not a fantastic station but it's good enough. The best thing about it is the proximity to Barclays and restaurants.

I have seen worker inside Sweeping, they need more than just a broom to clean the station up. The good thing about this Station is that it have a display, that show you exactly how long you have to wait for the next subway train to arrive. I really dislike this station, but just the fact that I can be on the train platform and have a good idea of the exact time I have to wait before the next train arrival is a big help. Did I say that this train is really filthy?

D is for degrading experience!!…read more Weekends are problematic to strap hangers entering Brooklyn as it is re-routed on the N line beginning 36th Street to the very last stop- Coney Island Stillwell Avenue. Strap hangers who need the D train are then forced to take the D train going towards Manhattan to their desired stop. Upon arriving at Coney Island Stillwell Avenue, this train stalled for ten minutes due to so-called "signal problem" to become sitting ducks.

Connects you to almost wherever you need to go in Manhattan on on the East or West side, Queens, Brooklyn or the Bronx. The underground passageway also connects you the the World Trade Center Memorial, Brookfield Place, and Path trains... just follow the signs. Great way to stay dry if you work in the area during the winter or the rain storm and have to get from the train station to Path/Brookfield Place, etc. Various exits will lead you to where you need to go, but one should know or have to figure out which exit to take or ask someone. Escalators in the Fulton Center will lead you to certain trains - mid-level is the 4,5 and lower levels are the rest. Follow the signs. The Fulton Center Station also has Dunkin and other eateries where you can purchase snacks and food if you need to grab a snack before you head to/from your destination.

When ever I take the LLIR over there the trains are on time ,its a plus to get to Manhattan or Brooklyn faster then the regular mta subway. Plus you dont have to deal with the rift raff that comes with riding the regular train.it may cost you a little more, but it worth the peace of mind. Dont forget about the amazing looking architecture that really makes for some awesome scenery and a good back drop for taking pictures. This station has to be one of the most nicer looking station in nyc .very historic and if you are in to old infrastructure this is a place to visit. This station is definitely a queens landmark that separates itself from all the rest.
