The elevated 174th Street Subway Station in the Bronx's Crotona Park East neighborhood, opened in…read more1905, is now serviced by the White Plains Road Line 2 and 5 trains. Unfortunately it's neither ADA compliant, nor scheduled in the near future with accessibility upgrades. In 2004, the MTA did install great faceted glass windows both on the platforms and in the vestibules designed by South Bronx artist Daniel Del Valle called "A Trip Up the Bronx River," including enjoyable outdoor Bronx settings, such as the river, Zoo, and Botanical Gardens. Delightful to look at!

Interesting that the trains and the MTA are not connected…read more After exploring the New York Botanic Garden in the Bronx I needed to head back to Brooklyn with my hubby and our daughter to meet my nephew for dinner. This was so much faster than a twenty minute walk to another station in the Bronx. Fortunately my daughter has the train app, so she bought three tickets for about $5 a pop and after a short wait, we were on our way. Once we got to Union Square we exited, paid for the MTA and once again, we were on our way. Thinking about fare evasion? Don't do it! The fine for not paying for your ticket could be a whopping $100!!! And if you think that you can just sneak in on the train. Think twice. There was a train conductor that was checking if each passenger had a ticket. IYKYK.

Highly recommend over taking the crowded MTA trains and buses or even driving and paying for parking. The train leaves you right across the street the Botanical Garden entrance (Mosholu entrance). Check the train schedule... easy 20 minute ride from Grand Central Station. So convenient that I have learned my lesson and know that I know where the station is and the train schedule, will take the Metro North going to/from Botanical Garden going forward. Station itself wasn't crowded and platform has directions to inform which way trains are headed. Kiosks machines are there to buy your tickets.... The boards inform you when the trains are coming and if delayed... Tip: Get the MTA TrainTime app and purchase tix via mobile... kiosks don't always work and more expensive paying on the train. Just remember to activate ticket before boarding as there is a time limit... Don't stand near the edge of the platform and esp turn away when express trains go by... that whosh of air! Heading back to NY, the Metro North track 4 is where you want to be. Take the overpass bridge to the other side of the tracks.

Now, the station services the 2 and 5 trains, where the lines further going into The Bronx split to either head to Dyre Avenue or Wakefield-241st Street. Its street level provides opportunity to change platforms and it's also ADA compliant, which is great because this station is one of the closest to The Bronx Zoo! You'll see wonderful glass and stone mosaics as well as laminated windows with multidisciplinary artist Luisa Caldwell's elegant 2011 artwork "Station Villa" throughout this lower level. These decorative pieces perfect for the building architecture, include various floral designs and are worth checking out!

To this end, the MetroNorth is my saving grace. It's a quick, smooth, creep-free ride and for $5... it's worth it. 24 minutes to Midtown or and hour on the subway. Easy choice. So from now on if I hit the trifecta, I need to go into the city, got a sweet parking spot, and it's after 1 in the afternoon...I'll go the 2 bus stops to MetroNorth and navigate my way from Grand Central. Saves me so much time.

During rush hour, during school hours. Pretty much anytime unless around 2am, the passenger traffic is s little lighter around that time. The service is pretty good. For the amount of people that ride in on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, it's pretty clean. But it's so not worth being squashed like a sardine can. Actually, I'm pretty sure sardines have more room in their cans than 6 train riders. The second avenue line can not come soon enough!

Right on the water, across from Inwood Hill Park, this station is clean, has seats for your wait and makes you feel like you're not in NYC anymore as it's hidden, down some steps, from "civilization". P.S. I also just found out recently that my dad's mom used to take the train from here to visit family up in Tarrytown decades ago, changing from the 1-train which is just a few blocks away ... small world.

The station is usually clean and has open seating. The only times I have complaints is during the winter when everyone is packed up in the main area which has an odor problem.

Otherwise it is a nice place to stop and catch a quick train into the city.

Michael Kelly Williams, an artist who finds inspiration in the culture created in the African diaspora, designed the 1992 pair of tile mosaics "El 2 and El 5" that decorate the Mezzanine crossover - one outside the fare control, the other just inside over the small bench. Incorporating a design of train cars snaking through the city, these joyous, colorful works are the best thing this station offers.
