This 50th St. Subway Station, serviced by Eighth Ave. Local Lines (C,E trains), are incredibly…read moreawkward to use at this station. First, while C Train platforms in both directions are "basically," (i.e., they do require a step down,) E trains to both WTC and East Side/Queens require descent one more flight. Second, only the Downtown side is ADA compliant. That said, after going some distance from either street entrance to the fare control turnstiles, you must also go and an additional distance to reach the C platform. Unfortunately, MTA has no immediate plans for making the C Uptown / E East Side & Queens Platforms ADA compliant in the near future. Additionally, platform walls only have the blacked out ad space, making it just feel dismal to me. Outside the Downtown entry, behind the Customer Service booth, MTA installed in 1989 untitled artwork by American artist Matt Mullican, who often uses representative imagery within his pieces.

It is deep in the theater district but with most of the theaters closed, there was very little traffic this evening when we departed. Each platform has same-level fare control at the center and there are no crossovers or crossunders to allow free transfer between directions. Each fare control area has a token booth, turnstile bank, and newsstand. The station is reasonably clean with minimal litter and decent lighting. There did not appear to be much security so we snapped our photos and departed swiftly. It is definitely showing some age with grubby walls and yellowing light fixtures. It is one of the oldest stations on the New York MTA, having opened in 1904 and it also one of the busiest, as it's located closest to Times Square. It was one of the original 28 stations of the subway between City Hall and 145th Street. Today, the station is on the 1 line (and the 2 line during late nights). It is not handicapped accessible and has only one platform level immediately below the street. There are two side platforms with four tracks. The two center lines are for express trains on the 2 and 3 lines and do not stop here. The northbound local platform has the 1 train with the next stop being 59th Street - Columbus Circle (towards 242nd Street) and the southbound local platform next stop is Times Square - 42nd Street (towards South Ferry). The station contains the artwork Liliana Porter's Alice, The Way Out, a series of mosaics installed in 1994 depicting characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

(Full disclaimer - I regularly transfer at this station from/to my 2/3 train to home.) It's not your original 1904 subway station, baby! In 1917, the Dual Contracts between at the time separately run subway lines created the first Times Square connections, leading to today's massive modernized setup now all run by MTA with improved signage and numerous countdown clocks to help identify those next trains. But wait, my reco! While you may be in a rush to or from Times Square or connecting to your next subway line, it's worth making time to check out the treasures at this station!!! Amazingly, the MTA has put money towards what is in essence a Times Square Subway Station 24/7 museum of public art with 8 awesome works: + Norman B. Colp's "The Commuter's Lament" or "A Close Shave" 1991 - Overhead beams along the 42nd St. passageway from the 8th Avenue Lines entering this Times Square Station, the Bronx conceptual artist employed messaging inspired by an old Burma Shave ad, that reads in sequence "Overslept", "So tired", "If late", "Get fired", "Why bother?", "Why the pain?", "Just go home", "Do it again", then picture of a bed. + Roy Lichtenstein's "Times Square Mural" 1994 (designed 1990, installed 2002) - Perched high in the station's Times Square entrances' tall central hall, a long porcelain enamel on steel. pop art portrayal of a futuristic train going through the station in his iconic, signature, comic book style. + Jacob Lawrence's "New York in Transit" 2001 - The "dynamic cubism" artist's figurative mosaic of straphangers and their everyday activities around town. + Jack Beal's "The Return of Spring" 2001 and "The Onset of Winter" 2005 - Both of these American realist painter's mosaics reimagining the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades in modern times. They're dually bright homages, respectively, to filmmaking when this subway station becomes the location set as well as to the life above a station entrance with street repairmen and a fruit stand. Note, in one, her descent down and, in the other, the man offering a Pomegranate, a fruit Greeks associated with the Underworld, to people by the subway stairs. + Toby Buonagurio's "Times Square Times: 35 Times" 2005 - The Native New York sculptor's 35 unique, glazed ceramic shadow boxes that depict different delightful motifs connected to this central neighborhood either related to the performing arts, fashion, or general life. + Jane Dickson's "Revelers" 2008 - The American painter's Murano glass mosaics of New Year's Eve celebrators, some with horns, etc., dressed for the occasion. + Nick Cave's "Each One, Every One, Equal All" 2022 - This multi-talented sculptor, dancer and performing artist created the clusters of vibrant mosaics and video images that extend outside and inside the entrance closest to the S Shuttle plus along new the tunnel to the 6th Avenue lines. The figures in this extensive work are derived from his "Soundsuit" decorative sculptured costumes that allow the wearer to mask their identity as to race, gender, and class, thereby creating both a freedom for them as well as a state in which onlookers will observe these individuals with no prejudice. * All access at this Times Square station between 1,2,3,7,N,Q,R,W and S 42nd St Shuttle trains are ADA compliant. Nevertheless, the B/D/F/M 6th Avenue lines' 42nd Street-Bryant Park Station via the brand new S Shuttle train platform tunnel and A/C/E 8th Avenue Lines via the old passageway to 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal Station still do not have in-system ADA compliant access from this station. Perhaps one day they'll build elevators to those 6th Avenue trains or a better ramp to complement the steep one to the 8th Avenue trains.

Located at West 49th Street and Seventh Avenue in midtown, there is an elevator from the street for northbound trains only.

Surprisingly, the elevator did NOT smell of pee! The mezzanine level has the usual fare controls including ticketing kiosks and turnstiles. There is another elevator down to the platform level. For a station that is over 100 years old (it opened in 1919), I found it reasonable clean and well lit. Better than many of the MTA stations on Manhattan.
