Description
The New York City subway has 469 stations serving 24 subway lines - more than any other system in the world. Routes are identified by letters, such as A line icon B line icon C line icon or numbers, such as 1line icon 2 line icon 3 line icon etc. These routes serve Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.
Many subway stations let you cross the platform to change from one route to another. However, at times trains leave before customers can make the connection.
This usually happens during rush (peak) hours when the subway is busiest and trains run more frequently. If a train doesn't proceed it can affect the schedule, backing up trains behind it and slowing service all along the line.
During off-peak hours, when the subway is less crowded, conductors can hold trains that enter the same station at the same time, and passengers can transfer across the platform. Subway personnel can do this as long as both trains are on schedule and waiting will not disrupt either train's schedule.
This is the J train which connects central Brooklyn with Manhattan. All trains are above ground in the Burroughs except Manhattan where the trains run underground
