Riders' Tips ?
Survival Tips
- If an arriving train is crowded, be patient and wait for the next train, which will likely be significantly less crowded.
- During morning rush hour, take a Flushing-bound 7 Train one stop to 61 St and take a Manhattan-bound express.
Alternative Transit Options
- Take the M/R Train at Northern Boulevard and Broadway. Give yourself 15 minutes to walk between 52 St (7) and Northern Boulevard (M/R).
- Take a Manhattan- or Queens-bound train at 61 St or catch the LIRR, which will take you to Penn Station. The LIRR is more expensive than NYC Transit services and does not run as frequently.
- Take the Q32 bus runs on Roosevelt Ave and Queens Boulevard and heads west into Manhattan.
- Take the Q104 bus between Astoria and Sunnyside. The Q104 also runs to Costco!
