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:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
