F (New York City Subway Service)
The F Sixth Avenue Local 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 runs on the IND Sixth Avenue Line through Manhattan.
The F service operates at all times between 179th Street in Jamaica, Queens and Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn via Queens Boulevard in Queens, 63rd Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, and Culver in Brooklyn, making all stops except for an express section in Queens between Forest Hills – 71st Avenue and 21st Street – Queensbridge. Since Stillwell Avenue cannot handle the large number of trains during rush hour, select trains short-turn at Kings Highway.
