D (New York City Subway Service)
The D Sixth Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored bright orange on route signs, station signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IND Sixth Avenue Line through Manhattan.
The D service operates at all times between 205th Street in Norwood, Bronx, and Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn via Concourse in the Bronx, Eighth Avenue (under Central Park West) and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, and the north side of the Manhattan Bridge to and from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, D service operates via the BMT Fourth Avenue and West End lines. It is the only B Division service to operate full-time in the Bronx.
At all times, the D operates express in Manhattan and local on the West End Line. It operates local in the Bronx at all times except rush hours when it runs express in peak direction only (mornings to Manhattan, afternoon and early evening from Manhattan). In Brooklyn, D trains bypass DeKalb Avenue and operate express along Fourth Avenue at all times except late nights when they stop at DeKalb Avenue and operate local.
