4 (New York City Subway Service)
The 4 Lexington Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored apple green on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan.
The 4 service operates at all times. The daytime service pattern is between Woodlawn in the Bronx and Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn via Jerome Avenue Local in the Bronx, Lexington Avenue Express in Manhattan, and Eastern Parkway Express in Brooklyn.
During late nights, approximately 11:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. (Sundays to 8:30 a.m.) the 4 is extended to/from New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn via Livonia Avenue to replace the 3. During this time, the 4 runs local east of Franklin Avenue. After midnight, the 4 serves all stops in Brooklyn (except Hoyt Street). In Manhattan, 4 trains run local between approximately 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Limited rush hour trains run to New Lots Avenue even when the 3 is running. During rush hours, the 4 skips 138th Street – Grand Concourse in the peak direction (to Manhattan during a.m. hours, from Manhattan during p.m. hours). Also during that period, some northbound trains run express north of 167th Street and terminate at Burnside Avenue.

“Imagine believing in the control of inflation by curbing the money supply! That is like deciding to stop your dog fouling the sidewalk by plugging up its rear end. It is highly unlikely to succeed, but if it does it kills the hound.”
—Michael D. Stephens. “On Sinai, There’s No Economics,” New York Times (Nov. 13, 1981)
“Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
Bates every city upon the say;
‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
—Charles James Lever (1809–1872)
“I leave you, home,
when I’m ripped from the doorstep
by commerce or fate. Then I submit
to the awful subway of the world....”
