New York: choose the train, direction and access together

A clear route to a performance includes the service you need, the destination shown on the train and the station’s usable entrance.

Use letters and numbers

MTA identifies subway services by letters or numbers; line colours alone do not describe identical stops. Check the service and destination before boarding.

Confirm direction and changes

Read platform signs and service notices for your particular journey. Save the required transfer and the final walk so a familiar station name does not send you the wrong way.

Check access as a separate task

Use accessible-station information and current elevator status when steps are a concern. Allow extra time for a suitable entrance or a different connection.

Travel without blocking others

Carry only what you can manage, let passengers leave first and keep doors clear. Plan the return after the performance using current service information.
