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."

But this station does have very heavy traffic flow. The station itself could probably use a good paint job, better signs , the MTA clocks seems to work here & there. The outside plaza used to be decent in the sense that is was clean & clear now it looks like a food fair everyday & it is jammed packed pretty much everyday it's become aggravating to walk through there's just way too much going on outside. As for the service well as long as there are no interruptions the station itself is not terrible, easy to get to & from.

The last two decades has seen a lot of change for Corona Plaza. Before the start of the millenium,…read moreit was and still is a major hub for commuters and was run down from top to bottom. It was marred by years of wear and tear; stains galore from pigeon feces and a number of other questionable substances. It was a miracle that the sign was still legible. Fast forward to today -- the MTA has taken great steps to modernize the station and with their recent renovation, the place has brightened up to look like a real transit destination. This is probably also partially due to the revitalization of Corona itself (pre-pandemic, of course) and while there is still some shady stuff that happens from time to time, it has by in large become far more aesthetically pleasing than its previous incarnation. I appreciate the paint job, stairwell overhaul, added digital signage, and maps / signs tastefully placed throughout (y en español también). The 7 train has surprisingly been voted as a stellar train by straphangers (#1) and the line has seen some substantial improvements with some of the major stops throughout the Roosevelt Ave artery. The plaza itself? Now it's the sight of various events and community gatherings. It's family friendly during the daytime with neighborhood partnerships and programming, as well as a revitalized street food scene (#2). It's true when they say time heals all wounds. Here's hoping in due time that the rest of the borough can follow suit. ____________ (#1) Unless of course, the MTA is simply tricking us. Ahem. (#2) This is *huge* (!)

Just from the pics you can see the foreign alien stuff growing on the floors, ceiling, cracks on the deck, and main platform, a real hazard to commuters. I ride the Subway all the time and I have seen major improvements, unfortunately this station appears to be forgotten. While the MTA has a difficult task at hand in repairing the Subway System, Public Safety should be a priority specially where its a station with high traffic of small children and their Parents, MTA take notice. Never seen so much neglect and rust its worse then a WII Battleship.

We used Precision NY Chauffeur Service for our family vacation to NYC, and they were absolutely…read moreoutstanding from start to finish. They handled our pickup from LGA to our Midtown hotel and later our return trip back to the airport, and both rides were flawless. This was truly 5-star service and one part of the trip I didn't have to worry about at all. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, communication was clear, and everything ran exactly on time. It was worth every penny compared to mass transit or other ride services. What really set them apart was their customer service. When we were dropped off at the airport, my son accidentally left his phone in the car. Umar went out of his way to drive all the way back around and personally return the phone to us--no hesitation, no attitude, just genuine care and professionalism. I can't recommend Precision NY Chauffeur Service enough. If you want reliable, stress-free transportation in NYC, this is the company to use.

I just wanted to respond to the comments made by the owner Muhammad W. First of all, I do…read moreappreciate his polite response. I just want to make sure that I'm clear about the failed "Lowest Price Guarantee". After making two separate efforts to clarify why Precision's price quote was so high and why the Lowest Price Guarantee wasn't being honored, I went with another company. And, I'm really happy that I did. The company that earned my business, was not only comparable, but, in my opinion even superior. Muhammad's response appears to indicate that the companies that gave me price quotes were somehow inferior. Precision has been in business 18 years, and the company I went with has been in business longer. Precision's price quote was much higher than the competition and was for a Cadillac or Volvo sedan, not the beautiful new black SUV that picked up my girlfriend. Lastly, the professional chauffer that was our driver, was impeccably dressed in a black suit and tie. Our driver had over 30 years experience as a licensed, professional chauffer. This gentleman even showed up 25 minutes early! What an incredible experience! Muhammad, I truly appreciate your response and your generous offer. The purpose of this updated review was to clarify that the company that we went with, was not inferior in any way. For some reason, you referenced Uber or a taxi service in your response. I hired a superior, licensed, insured and incredibly professional competitor. Price was certainly not the only deciding factor. I'm hopeful, that this could be a learning opportunity for you and you organization in regards to your " Lowest Price Guarantee". Thank you again.
