Info
42nd Street – Bryant Park / Fifth Avenue is an underground New York City Subway station complex, consisting of stations on the IRT Flushing Line and IND Sixth Avenue Line, formerly without direct connection, now connected by a pedestrian tunnel. Located at 42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan, it is served by the:7, D, and F trains at all times
B and M trains on weekdays
<7> train on weekdays in the peak direction
Free transfers between the two stations were in effect from December 16, 1967, until 1968, by providing paper tickets to passengers, who would exit one station and follow the sidewalk in order to enter the other. The tunnel now permits leaving a train in one station and walking underground to one in the other, and takes away the need for transfer tickets. The entire station complex was fully renovated in 1998. There are two elevators to street level – located on both the southwestern and northwestern corners of Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street – but there are no elevators to either platform level, so the station complex is not ADA-accessible.
In 2010, it was rated the noisiest place in New York City.
