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.
