New York City Subway Services
As of June 2010, the New York City Subway system has 24 lettered or numbered route designations.
- The 1, 6, 7, C, G, L, M and R trains are fully local; making all stops.
- The 2, 3, 4, 5, <6>, <7>, A, B, D, E, F, N and Q trains have portions of express and local service.
- The J train normally operates local, but during rush hours it is joined by the Z train in the peak direction. Both run local, express or skip-stop on different parts of their route.
- The letter S is used for three shuttle services.
Due to the subway operating 24 hours a day, there are five different service patterns. There are rush-hour, midday, evening, weekend and late night service patterns. Each service has a table in its article to show what tracks are used and when.
This table lists all the current services, along with their lines and terminals and a brief description; see Unused New York City Subway service labels for unused and defunct services.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements.... Even the most chronically dispossessed appear prepared to endorse the legitimacy of the “haves.””
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. “Cleaning and Cleansing,” Myths and Memories (1986)
“O, the difference of man and man!
To thee a woman’s services are due.”
