MTA 179st Street Subway Station

It is relatively safe in the subway station but the neighborhood itself around the subway and in the subway has a negative atmosphere. There are a lot of homeless people in the station. The people in this area appear very angry and negative. I’ve been harassed by people in the area, for example women looking at me up and down, etc. Individuals trying to start arguments, things of that sort.

I take the F Train to Roosevelt avenue to transfer to the E Train going towards the city. This is also the route I take to head to NJ as well.
There’s not much I can say about the station besides it always being so dark and dreary. I feel like unwanted things could happen here. It’s not the safest location.

I take the train everyday, and I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences on the f train. Sexually harassed being one of them, and followed. The station it self really needs more security, they need to do something about the bums who are publicly peeing on the platform and shitting on the steps by the 180^st exit!

Of all the MTA subway stops, I’ve been in this station the most.
I’ve been in enough MTA stations to know that this is pretty average among them all, it’s not the cleanest but it is clean enough compared to the ones with bums and hobos scattered around.
This is the closest to my house, plus the majority of buses run through here. You can pretty much connect anywhere from Jamaica to Flushing to Long Island.
I take the F train here to work every morning, to Kew Gardens where I hop on the E train to Long Island City. If you are lucky and early, you just might get the E train straight from this 179 station.

Love that the E train leaves from the F 179^th Street during rush hour in the mornings. Other than that, you don’t have to wait long for a train since they pull on on two tracks. I prefer the F over the E.

Sometimes I come here to take the train to go to the city… The First stop on the F train the station is ok
