My 7th review on the 7th day of the new year has to be for the #7 train. I was going to save this…read morereview for 2027, but it cannot wait another year. The #7 IRT train from Manhattan to Flushing, Queens, you have to love it or hate it. It goes to some of the iconic destinations in NYC, like CitiField, Flushing Meadows Corona Park & Jacob Javits Convention Center. It also connects Times Square with Grand Central Station and more recently, Hudson Yards with the farthest reaches of Queens. It goes through some of the most densely populated areas of the City, so ridership is high (re: packed like sardines in a can). So many memories were made on the 7. I remember as a teenager going to the Mets games at Shea Stadium with my friends or playing ultimate frisbee or football under the Unisphere. And the fare was just 50¢ for a subway token each way! Later as an adult, we would ride to the US Open to watch Pete Sampras or Andre Agassi and the fare would be $1.50 using the Metro-Card. The 7 is not without its ups and downs. Probably 80% of its tracks are elevated with its terminal stops underground and a long stretch going under the East River. The exposed elevated tracks from Sunnyside to Flushing seem to have more than its share of maintenance woes and currently do not stop at 3 station platforms undergoing reconstruction. I remember not too long ago, pieces of the structure like rivets & rusted out steel would fall onto cars along Roosevelt Ave and the MTA had to sling hammock nets under the really corroded sections to catch falling debris. Also on short notice, it will not run into Manhattan, which is a major inconvenience for Queens residents. The MTA is trying new schedules though, with direct express trains for Mets game or the US Open, which benefits Manhattanites mostly. So, if during rush hour you see my face pressed up against the door window, it probably was not by choice, just out of necessity that I had to get somewhere and couldn't wait for the next train. Do not get on. Elmo says, "This review has been brought to you by the number 7."

I…read morerecall many moons ago when the 7 train was sluggish with so many delays due to traffic signals and repairs. 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.

Will post update soon on the other stations. Look forward to when the 7 Train goes into Brooklyn.

Main Street in Flushing has an okay MTA station. It can get fucking busy. There's always so many…read moretourists. Even so, it's not the busiest station around. The station is located in the heart of the Chinatown in Queens. A busy station at the end of the line. It serves the 7 Train. This is where this line terminates, so it's busy with all the trains. It has a local and an express. The express skips a few stops on the way to Manhattan. Be sure to look for the right track, but it doesn't always run so you may not be able to take it anyway. If you're a tourist heading here, it drops you off in the middle of the neighborhood. There's plentiful Chinese restaurants and shops. It always seems so busy. In spite of this the station is pretty clean. There's endless possibilities of great Chinese food along Roosevelt and the other streets.

Mainly, the ticket booth. I do not feel that the service has improved in regards to it being less crowded. This service provided does not improve the concert crowds of people riding this bus.

Honestly, how long has SBS been in effect? This is an ongoing dilemma. My thing is this, if a person takes the same bus every single day there's no excuse as to why they don't retrieve their ticket before hand. Due to them there's a hold up with the bus driver leaving.

Leaving a Yelp review for public bus service is pretty silly, but sure, let's yell into the void…read more On top of the many downsides to public surface transit in absolute terms, service on the Q13 line is utterly deplorable relatively speaking, and not only in the sense that bus riders are second-class citizens compared to subway straphangers. We miserable Q13 riders who wait at the start of the line on 39th Avenue in Flushing get to watch an endless procession of Q28s with a sprinkling of Q16s and Not in Service buses pass by before a stray Q13 limps to the starting line. There are as many *Q48s* as there are Q13s, and 39th Avenue isn't even part of the Q48's route. Very mild hyperbole aside, the live service status on the MTA app proves that, on average, during rush hours, Q28s outnumber Q13s 2:1, with the former scheduled every five minutes compared to nine minutes for the Q13. It is not uncommon to watch five or six Q28s pass by while I stand in the bitter cold or soaking rain waiting for the Q13. It is madness that I can measure the wait time for my bus by the number of buses that pass by on another line. Execrable. LOL at the other reviewer who left a five-star review as a new rider but corrected it to one star a mere four months later, after reality set in. Sucks to be us, doesn't it?

He walked through the aisle to collect it from everybody on the spot. He was argumentative and rude toward passengers who refused to pay the tip. A very uncomfortable situation--felt like a robbery. Tips are a gesture of appreciation; I have never seen any service provider be aggressive like that. The bus company should tell people in advance about extra fees. I don't like confrontation/tension, and didn't feel comfortable watching the driver argue with people. Would NOT recommend.

I think the company may not be paying their drivers, which would explain why he was so aggressively demanding tips from everyone.
