67th Avenue Subway Station

Your average 2 line local station. Nothing special about it.

Only the M & the R run here but you do get cell reception. The Manhattan train seems to show up sooner than the Queens bound train but if you go on the Queens bound train, you’ll be right in Forest Hills & can switch to an express train. Watch out for smelly homeless people occasionally sleeping on the benches in the center of the platform. Otherwise, you’ll be okay.

I used to use this station every day. It serves the R and the M lines. Usually pretty clean with a manned token booth on the 67^th Ave side (you can enter/​exit a block away on 67^th rd). It’s one stop from Continental Ave stop where you can catch the E, F, and tons of buses to Queens that are not accessible by subway. It does get chaotic when school let’s out as Forest Hills High School is closeby. You can also use this station as an underpass to cross Queens Blvd.

This is my local subway station. The M and R stops at this station, a stop away is 71^st continental or 63^rd drive rego park, depending on what direction you are heading. Need an E train? Be in the station during night hours. If you prefer to buy a MetroCard at the booth instead of the machines, you will find a booth if you go down the subway through the north side of Queens Blvd, just in front of Dunkin’ Donuts. I dislike that there is always little kids from Russell Sage Jr High school and Forest Hills high school around 2−3pm blocking the subway entrances, occasionally having some kind of fist fight. Luckily this station has four entrances to choose from, making those stupid fights avoidable.

My local train stop which is always busy. I like that there is always a booth clerk on the 67^th Avenue exit side. JUst like a lot of the stations, if you use the station real early or late you will see homeless people sleeping on benches. During early mornings/​afternoons of school hours you will get bombarded with the High School kids from Forest Hills High School hanging outside of the station or near Dunkin Donuts.

Underground is clean enough, and above ground there are lots of stores and shops for most of the things you can imagine.
It’s one stop from Forest Hills, and the express, and sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the time to come back, or if I should take the local from Roosevelt. So many questions, so few answers.
This is on the border between Rego Park and Forest Hills, but Unilocal will put it in Rego Park, they define Rego Park as starting at Yellowstone, when the post office defines it as starting on 67^th Avenue. Why do they do that?
