Canal Street Subway Station

People gotta stop peeing on the walls. really reeks.

Horrifying. The first and last time I will take a subway.
There is a putrid stench of rubbish and bodily fluids in the underground subway. Water dripping from overhead and dirty pools of water on the ground.
Old, small, dingy, dark station with rotting walls. Unsafe even during the day.
Caught this from SoHo to Grand Central station.
I was so scarred by this experience. No subways ever again.

Decent, moderately clean, lots of traffic both, locals and visitors. Get lost up on the streets to find some great photo’s and even better food.

This station is nicely adorned with mosaic tiles in some Chinese characters. Service advisory postings for this station are written in Chinese and English. This station sits nearby Centre Street where all the Manhattan courts are.

These long corridors gives me the creeps. When I got off there weren’t a lot of travellers around so I upped my speed out of there! *zoooom!*
It wasn’t dirty, just a bit wet but with the weather that’ll be difficult to control.
On my return through another entrance/​side/​street though it still seemed (horror movie like) gloomy there was a cop stationed on this end so I relaxed a bit. He assisted me as I wasn’t completely sure which side I had to be on (don’t judge I’m sure you’ve been in my grey winter boots before especially in a new country hehehe). He was kind and I think for a quick second he flirted with me but let’s continue calling it kindness and doing his job.
I love the subway and most stations seem the same awesome confusion to me including this one.
Welcome to NY.
The End.

I think it’s funny that a subway station has a review on Unilocal,but excellent idea! It would be great to do this for all stations. This way commuters and tourists know which one’s to avoid and which one’s to enjoy. This station is okay. Relatively clean. In the end it’s a subway station and a busy one at that. It’s much too big though with a lot of long creepy passages.

Eh, it’s a subway station. This place definitely isn’t the cleanest or coolest of the stations but at least I didn’t see any irritating homeless people or performers on the platforms. Watch out for closures on the weekends since sometimes when the A/​C/​E isn’t running, it won’t stop at this station.

This is actually my least favorite subway. Dirty and the mix of people is rather odd compared to the area. Weird mix of silence and oddity. Cannot really describe it outside of being slightly creep-​ed out about this place and I tend to just avoid it.

I’ve been coming down to Chinatown for the past two weeks for Jury Duty and this station always has pools of standing water in on the various platforms and the last time it rained was about a week ago. Come on MTA, have some pride, a quick sweep would minimize a potential liability and would earn you at least one more star.

This station is closest to my office from where I can take train to queens. Canal street is an express station on the Eighth Avenue Line of the NYC subway. It is located at the intersection of Canal Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. This station is served by
*A and E trains at all times
*C train at all times except late nights.
Station is surprisingly very clean and free of shady characters even if one travels late in the night.

Canal street station gets you there; it’s an A train stop, as well as the C and E. This station serves all of Tribeca, and takes you to Brooklyn as well as uptown and da Bronx and Queens.
My one quibble with it is that there’s often a slow-​moving line to enter the station, because there’s only a single turnstile down near Walker Street. Other than that, it’s a safe, busy station with no bronze sculptures by Tom Otterness.
Importantly, too: I often like to avoid aboveground traffic when crossing streets, and will even use my unlimited MetroCard to walk through a station (without taking the train.) This station, however, lets you enter below Canal street, say, and exit above Canal into SoHo. It’s good when you remember what stations let you do that.
