"Terrifying elevators" and "dungeon vibes" are found at this stop.
Erika McEntarfer 181st Street (1 train) The whole station but especially the elevators are straight out of a horror movie. Very counter intuitive.Īlso steamy during the summer, 168th on the 1 or A platforms is like "a chicken gathering waiting to be cooked in data hot ass station," according to It's also "elevator dependent," meaning that if the "slow hot death box" of an elevator breaks, it's unclear how to get out, riders say.Ĭan't believe I had to scroll this far before someone mentioned the 168th St 1/2/3 station. If you’re going uptown/to Manhattan on the AC you need to switch platforms to get on the G (even though you’re going north, just on the BK side). I can go on, but Hoyt-Schmerhorn is the worst switching from the AC to the G Is a nightmare. It also has "foreboding unused outer platforms and long walks through empty tunnels." The fact that the G tracks don't connect to Manhattan - it's confusing AF. 72nd Q bc same as #1 but with added sterility Canal street anything bc it’s a gamble on whether you’ll come out in Chinatown Tribeca or Jerseyģ. 63rd F cause it goes down to the core of the EarthĢ. Sarah Kobos Canal Street (J/N/Q/R trains)įirst, Canal Street's southbound Q platform "smells like horse died there the year the Dodgers left Brooklyn,' according to Amanda Barrett, and "the platform toward the front it's only big enough for one pre-pandemic weight person." The station as a whole is maze-like so transfers are pretty terrible.ġ. Not the worst in and of itself, but my therapist's office is off the Herald Sq stop and I always feel like I need an extra session just from the walk from the train to her office. One Tweet said it is "hotter than the actual core of the earth in August," but what else makes it one of the worst stations? It's super deep so you have to take never-ending ramps or escalators and you're not even at ground level yet. It's well-known that this station is one of the hottest with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees on a regular basis. And the lower platform of the 63rd St./3rd-Lex station in Manhattan because it requires approximately 17 escalators to get to street level.
The 4/5 platform at 59th is basically the devil's armpit. The 63rd Street at Lexington takes way too many elevators to get to ground level. Uterati Rampage Lexington Avenue stations (4/5/6 trains)įrom the sewer stench on 59th Street's 4/5 platform is the "devil's armpit," its 6 platform is full of rude people who don't move to let people out and its RWN platform gets overcrowded too often. The tunnel from the Port Authority A/C/E to Times Square N/Q/R/S/1/2/3/7 is particularly sadistic. The "sadistic" long walk between the connected lines, the crowding at rush hour, the heat, the 45-degree angled ramp, and the depressing poem that tells you to turn around, give up and go home is enough to drive commuters crazy. Indoor / Outdoor Animal Times Square (including the tunnel to Port Authority) The screeching squeak and moving cheese grater of doom at Union Square 4/5/6 make it the only choice The platform pushes, slashing, the screeching, the scary moving platform and the summer heat on the 4/5/6 platform make Union Square unbearable for many. Here are some of the worst subway stations, according to New Yorkers. Ok, but what's your LEAST FAVORITE subway station One thing we do like, however, is complaining about the subway, so when New York Times Metro reporter Michael Gold asked people on Twitter what their least favorite station is, there was no hesitation to share. Yes, we depend on it to get to work and to our favorite spots in NYC, but the dirt and grime, the weird characters, the maze of stairs and the intermittent flooding is almost too much to bear. New Yorkers agree that taking the subway is both frustrating and necessary.
