Jay Street – MetroTech

Man this is a weird station. They renovated it a few years ago, so has some pretty cool mosaics, but it’s one of those stations where the entrances are all over the place and if you don’t know where you’re going, could end up where you don’t want to be!
The nice thing is that there’s an exit that puts you right on the MetroTech promenade (F train — last car coming from Manhattan, first car coming from Brooklyn) and in front of the Con Ed office and the TKTS booth. A few short strides away is Au Bön Pain and Starbucks.
Great way to get to downtown Brooklyn /​Fulton Mall shopping district.

This station is easy to maneuver. If you want to use public transportation to and/​or from JFK and Manhattan, it is an inexpensive ride.
By way of the AirTrain at JFK to the A train from Howard Beach station, you can transfer subway lines here, depending on your final destination in Manhattan or beyond.

Formerly Jay Street — Borough Hall.
As of December 2010 a new transfer underground passageway connects A, C, R, N, and F trains to unify Lawrence and Willoughby Streets station, which makes Straphangers transfer between A train to R or N train for more opportunity of conveyance traveling between Queens to/​from Brooklyn.

The new transfer connection between the R train and A, C, and F trains has made our commute a lot easier rather than when I use to walk out of the station at the old Lawrence Street Station on the R train and swipe in again at Jay Street to transfer to the A and C trains.
