| Court Square | Court Square – 23rd Street | IND Queens Boulevard Line | E M |
An $8.5 million 350-foot (100 m) passageway connecting the IND Queens Boulevard Line with the IND Crosstown Line was built by Citicorp, who was building the Citicorp Building above. It opened in late 1988 or 1989. A MetroCard transfer to the IRT Flushing Line was added on December 16, 2001, when the IND 63rd Street Line was completed and the G was cut back to Court Square during peak hours. This transfer was free for MetroCard users within two hours of the original boarding. Soon after, a moving walkway was added in the IND passageway. A passageway was completed in June 2011 between the Flushing and Crosstown lines, which ended the MetroCard transfer. |

As part of the Dual Contracts, the Astoria Line and Flushing Line were operated by both the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation. This arrangement remained through unification, until, starting October 17, 1949, the Astoria Line became BMT-only and the Flushing Line IRT-only. A cross-platform transfer at Queensboro Plaza, where the lines meet, was made available by closing the north (BMT) half of the station and routing all trains into the south (IRT) half. |

Famous quotes containing the word queens:
““Your strength, that is so lofty and fierce and kind,
It might call up a new age, calling to mind
The queens that were imagined long ago,
Is but half yours....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The queers of the sixties, like those since, have connived with their repression under a veneer of respectability. Good mannered city queens in suits and pinstripes, so busy establishing themselves, were useless at changing anything.”
—Derek Jarman (b. 1942)
