What New York City Subway Stations Can't Endure the Most

New Yorkers agree that having a developed metro system is a huge plus for their metropolis compared to other major US cities. But trash, strange and dangerous characters, a maze of stairs and periodic flooding do not allow the townspeople to call a trip on the New York subway a pleasant walk. Let's be honest: New Yorkers love to complain about the subway, so we happily responded to New York Times reporter Michael Gold's call for a review of their most obnoxious subway station.

Based this thread Twitter provides a ranking of the worst subway stations according to New Yorkers.

14th Street Union Square

This station is not liked because of the constant crowds and hustle and bustle, because of the frequent attacks on passengers and the unbearable heat in summer. Especially on it the 4/5/6 platform got.

Times Square (including the tunnel leading to the Port Authority)

The station's reputation was ruined by the sadistically long track crossing, huge crowds at rush hour, the heat, a 45-degree ramp, and a depressing poem adorning it, in which you are asked to drop everything and go home.

Lexington Avenue Station (4/5/6 trains)

On the platform of trains 4/5 of 59th Street station, there is an eerie smell of sewage, the platform of the 6th train is full of rude people who do not allow passengers to exit, and an impenetrable crowd gathers too often on the RWN platform. In addition, on one of the platforms of this station, you need to use 17 escalators to get to the street exit.

34th Street-Herald Square

This station is one of the hottest in New York, with temperatures regularly reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius). One of the tweets noted that in August there is "hotter than the core of the Earth." In addition, the station is very deep, so you have to traverse endless ramps or escalators.

Canal Street (J / N / Q / R trains)

First, the platform of the Q train at this station "smells like a horse that died there the year the Dodgers left Brooklyn." And secondly, the platforms are too small and the moves are confusing.

168th Street

Here, all the passengers do not like the heat the most. They say that being at the station, they feel like “chickens in the oven”. Many more are intimidated by the elevators at this station, which are "just like from a horror movie."

181st Street (1 train)

At this stop, according to passengers, you can find "terrifying elevators" that constantly break, and "dungeon vibes." According to the estimates of the townspeople, the station is too small to comfortably serve the population living next to it.
