Station Layout
Bergen Street is laid out similar to certain subway stations located below narrow streets, with two levels. The upper level - the only one used in regular service - serves local trains, while the lower level has in the past seen express service.
Each platform has one same-level fare control area at either end and there are no crossovers or crossunders. The full time ones are at the north end and each has a turnstile bank, token booth, and two street stairs. The ones on the Manhattan-bound platform go up to either eastern corners of Bergen and Smith Streets while those on the Coney Island-bound platform go up to either western corners. The fare control areas on the south end of the platforms are unstaffed, containing full height turnstiles and one street stair to the northeast corner of Warren and Smith Streets on the Manhattan-bound platform and the northwest corner for the Coney Island-bound one.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
