It took me a good 5 minutes to find the station. I found the southbound platform somewhat easily but the northbound took a few extra minutes. At that point, I was using instinct to find it and finally I saw a small stair way with door entrances and the elusive sign saying this way to LIRR. The northbound platform is also where you will find your ticket machines. I saw no staff on site but admittedly I did not venture further inward as I had a train to catch. It was pleasant to board here, a lot less crowded then Jamaica Station at this time of morning and now that I know where everything is, I will use this route again.

And if it wasn't crumbling and gritty, I think the station would actually be very nice today. But, since it's New York City, this station is pretty gritty. One of my first general complaints that comes to the station is not the grit, but the fact that it's not wheelchair accessible when it easily has the advantage to be. But if you are disabled and in the area, there's only a station four blocks away on the same train at 207th Street. There is also an entrance facing the park, so it's general entrances are actually helpful. It's in a very residential and commercial area, and it's generally used a lot, so it's very it's good besides my two complaints of the grit and not having handicap access.

PROS: -…read moreStandard-length platform (no "Only the last 4 cars will platform.") - Light crowds - Safe area (minus the sketchy Boomer bar underneath) - Clean CONS: - Needs better protection from the elements - Skips trains during rush hour Auburndale doesn't really have any standout qualities, for better or for worse. It's a small, bare-bones station at the halfway point of the Port Washington line (that still, thankfully, lets you get off on any car). You won't see a great many people getting off and on, except during rush hour. If I could make a change, it would be to either make the glass shelter temperature-controlled like at some other stations, or extend the roof to the length of the entire platform. As it stands, because the tracks are elevated, you're going to feel the full brunt of the weather in the Summer and Winter. Minor inconveniences aside, this is still a decent station.

If a person could choose a favorite train, mine would be the Q. Here's why:…read more-- My stop, 86th Street is really subterranean. There are three steep escalators that take you to the street without ever climbing a step. (If you think I'm lazy, I'll remind you that I'm no spring chicken.) -- I frequently go between Philadelphia and NYC via Amtrak. The Q is a couple of blocks from the Moynahan station, and leaves me minutes from my building. -- The Q goes practically everywhere I want to go: Carnegie Hall (57th Street), Times Square (42nd Street), Macy's (34th Street), Chinatown (Canal Street .... though I usually take the bus) and Coney Island. -- In Brooklyn, the Q follows the same route that the D formerly did, which is what I took growing up. (I'm nostalgic!) -- Going downtown I always get a seat -- though I'm happy to relinquish it when someone boards who needs it. The train seems clean. Or clean-ish. Climate-controlled, too. Years ago cars were dirty and filled with graffiti. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. So yeah, I'm happy. The Q has it going on!

I can get off here at 57th to go to Nordstrom and much more. I seldom take the subway. If I plan to enjoy shopping in this neighborhood this winter I better get used to this station. Winter came early this year. I'm usually in a hurry to get out from underground. I haven't noticed the condition. I feel like it's always being renovated. I'm just glad I have door to door service because this station is located at 57th Street. I'll probably be here today with my daughter.

There was a man on other side of the security gate, holding it half open and saying"You are stupid." I will let you through the security gate if you give me a dollar. There was no one else around. It is a desolate station. The man was verbally aggressive. I left the station and walked to Bowling Green to get the 4 or 5. Perhaps the other side of the station going downtown is not as desolate and there is an underpass to get to the uptown side? Does anyone know? This is ironic at a time when half the people are not paying. I paid for a ride I could not use.

Originally consisting of three separate stations, the South Ferry/Whitehall Street complex is the…read moremain gateway to Battery Park and the Staten Island Ferry port, located in the south end of Manhattan. It services mainly the 1, R, W lines. My wife and I used this complex to visit Battery Park, from where we took a ferry to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty up close. The NYC subway system originally operated as three separate, competing companies [IRT - Interborough Rapid Transit; BMT - Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit; IND - Independent Subway System] before unifying in 1940. Numbered trains represent former IRT lines, whereas lettered trains represent former BMT and IND trains. In 1905, IRT opened a balloon loop (track that allows a train to reverse direction without stopping) at South Ferry, then opened another loop in 1918. The BMT opened its station at Whitehall the same year. Much of the South Ferry station was heavily damaged as part of the 9/11 attack. A new station was built (same name of South Ferry), opening in 2009, replacing the original South Ferry station. The new station suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, closing indefinitely for repair. During this time, the old South Ferry station was reopened to support transportation needs. After major renovation, the new station reopened in 2017 (and the old station closed again), all servicing the 1 Line. It consists of 1 island platform with 2 tracks, and is the station we used to leave Battery Park, heading back to midtown. As for the Whitehall station of the complex, even though it suffered damage from both 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy, it remained open, and continued to be serviced by the R and W lines. It consists of two island platforms with 3 tracks. This is the station we took getting to Battery Park, and we couldn't find a way to get to the South Ferry station exit (since it was closer to the park), instead having to exit street level at Whitehall and walking the rest of the way.

Benefitting from all the repairs and renovations delivered in 2017 after being impacted in 2013 by…read moreHurricane Sandy, this South Ferry/Whitehall St. Subway Station accessing the 1, R and W trains provides an almost perfect connection to the battery or Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Almost, because there are no elevators to the R, W Broadway Line train platform from the mezzanine, creating a challenge for people with strollers, carriages, or wheelchairs. Given how much money MTA spent, it's not clear why they didn't resolve this. That being said, the station provides reminders to how much this part of Manhattan has evolved over time, including the shifts in waterfront structure and activity where the land meets the convergence of the two rivers and New York Bay. At the foot of the South Ferry approach escalator, you'll notice large stones embedded in the wall. These historic pieces, discovered at this level about 500 feet away, composed the west face of Colonial-era Battery Wall. On the other side of the Mezzanine turnstiles and beyond the artist-designed laser-cut stainless steel piece separating the paid section, you'll find the remaining 2008 mosaic and glass artwork series entitled "See it split, see it change" by Doug and Mike Starn, identical twin collaborative artists. The different pieces use images to address transformation, including that which Manhattan has undergone. For example, one section along the stairs to the 1 train platform includes a mosaic with a map superimposed over the island's original topography. It's worth pausing to check out the Battery Wall and public art when passing through this South Ferry/Whitehall St. Subway Station.
