Junction Blvd – 7 Train Stop

express train! reliable transport, 72 bus to LaGuardia or Queens Blvd. ANYTHING you want you can get it on Junction! Yes it is grimy and ghetto but it is a blast, too! No whitewashed NYC here this is the real deal — working class people and new immigrants trying to make it.

This 7 stop is just fine, one of those hubs that is accessible via the express and the local.

Great train stop/​station as you are able to take the local and express train. Has elevator to serve individuals with mobility challenges. Only thing missing is the time of arrival of the next train.
The dilemma of this train stop is that you don’t know when its the next express train. During the winter, it can get very cold and windy as it is an outdoor expose station. Recommendation, stand in the stairwell or elevator bridge to avoid the cold and wind.

Why, yes, I WOULD like to rate this subway stop. Drops you off near a couple of fine Colombian bakeries, the hands down finest Cuban restaurant in the New York CIty metro area, has a connection to the Q72 bus and lots of interesting people that don’t look like old Midwestern white dudes like me. I love this area of town, the subway and everything about it. Don’t even think about gentrifying this area of town, MTA!
Oh, and the taco stands… don’t even think about bypassing those. Ya hear me???

Its a local and express stop.
So thats perfect.
Nice view of junction when your on the platform.

Local or Express train from this stop. Wheelchair accessible (although would not be a picnic). Announcements are audible from all sections (which you need in a notoriously delay-​ridden line). Station personnel are surly as is standard but adequate to the tasks of consolidating MTA cards, keeping an eye on the turnstiles and emergency doors and answering some questions. Plenty of working machines to provide swipey cards and refills. Platform is narrow, crowded with commuters most of the time and usually a mess, especially in the winter. For a more relaxing start to your trip, catch the local at 90^st and Roosevelt (if you’re not running late).
