Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MoreWhat is the dirtiest subway station
So here’s a question…what’s the dirtiest station in the subway system? Every regular rider knows a stop that just makes their skin crawl to think about it.
One I can think of is 96th and Broadway on the 1, 2, and 3. That stop is old and disgusting. It fills up like a toilet any time there is a good rain.
59th Street Columbus Circle used to not be too bad until they started destroying everything to remove the asbestos.
Most parts of the Grand Central subway are gross too. Mostly the main concourse. It just smells like homeless feet and ass. It looks pretty run down too. However, branches off of it like the walk to the S train are in fairly good shape.
Your thoughts???
Live from the subway, back to you in studio… .

They’re completely renovating and upgrading 59th St-Columbus Circle on both the ABCD and 1 platforms.
ReplyTo get to the REALLY scary stuff you have to head out towards the ends of the lines, especially in the Bronx and Queens.
ReplyIn Manhattan, the dirtiest is the 2nd Ave. stop on the F/V. It always smells and seems to have a few permanent residents.
But the stops out in Brooklyn and Queens put Manhattan’s stops to shame.
ReplyThe worst and most RANK part of the system has to be the underpass between the downtown 6 and the uptown 6 / E / V at 51st & Lex.
That underpass makes me vomit.
Literally.
ReplyI agree with Vinny. What IS that smell?? I look around, but I don’t see anything. You’d think that a smell that bad would have a large obvious source…
ReplyA few years ago, they had a sewer leakage (or was it sewage leakage?) into that underpass right after they patched it up and put the new tile down there with the artsy mural.
I wonder how much crap-infested water is still soaked into the walls surrounding it because I still smell it and it has never gotten better.
You have to wonder if the MTA ever actually goes to these stations, and if they do do they just go “Yep… Fine here… Nothing we can do!”
Man…
ReplyThe Broadway stop on the G has stalagtites, and a stream os liquid that never stops. A couple of years ago Channel 7 did a spot on it and it is worsse today.
ReplyThe 7th ave subway station along the B D E line is one of the dirtiest subways, it has both permanent residents (the ones with the carriages AND boxes taking up most the bench) and stalagmites.
ReplyThe 1,2,3 at 14th Street. The rats come within inches of you. And in the vendor’s stand up the stairs from the platform, baby rats openly play in the magazine racks. Yum. Makes you think twice about buying anything from there.
ReplyJay St/Borough Hall!
ReplyEither 21st and Van Alst on the G or one of the corridors in Union Sq heading toward the Brooklyn bound trains…smells like urine every day.
Replyjay street/borough hall-hoyt schermerhorn- smith 9th street
ReplyWell, i used to think that it was Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, because of the garbage lying around on the tracks and the fowl smell, but now im considering Jay St. Boro Hall, because i notice the same thing there as well. But its a head 2 head thing. (Oh, just for the record, 42nd Street Grand Central is actually the best.)
ReplyHas nobody been in the Chambers St. stop on the J? That has to be the scummiest and most decrepit station I’ve seen. The 23rd St. stop on the F/V also seems to have the worst rat problem. I can’t imagine how many of them are scurrying around in the walls and the drainage pipes there.
ReplyIt’s sad because the 7th Ave & 53rd station was renovated not too long ago but it is not maintained. All the paint is peeling and there has to be over 100 water leaks. Every column is covered in mold. This station is disgusting.
ReplySo no one has been to 168th & bway on the 1? Although having the potential of being grand, w/ its very high arches and tall cielings, the station is dimly lit, infested w/ roaches and homeless, and not to mention the death elevators which can reach upwards of 120 degrees.
Replymy choice is the hoyt schermerhorn station on the A C AND G LINES. THE LIGHTING IS ALSO AWFUL.BUT THE SMITH-NINTH STREET STATION ON THE F AND G LINE IS DIRTY TOO.OH YES JAY STREET AND BOROUGH HALL TOO.
ReplyIt’s true, all the underground stops mentioned are horrific, especially 168th and Broadway on the Number 1. I got off there by mistake at 2:00AM (about 15 years ago), and all the lights were out… there were at least 50 homeless people hitting crack pipes, and what space they didn’t occupy was crawling with rats. It’s much improved since then.
But my stop, Bay 50th Street on the D in Brooklyn, has pigeon shit that’s inches deep in places.
ReplyThe most neglected of all stations has to be the Chambers Street station on the JMZ line. I used to go there every evening when I was working on 34th Street. Hard to believe that station is right under City Hall (and this in post-Giuliani NYC).
Reply168th Street Station in NYC is the DIRTIEST FILTHIEST TRAIN STATION in NYC… I agree with the above comment … between the piss, cockroaches and rats… I mean u walk in there and feel like you’re gonna come out with fleas or psoriasis
Reply59th and Lexington. 4 and 5 train stop deep underground. Entire ceiling above long escalator covered in black mold. Mold smell is overpowering
Reply@Maddy:
ReplyI have seen and smelled WORSE than the 168 train station. First to say that i have never seen cockroaches in the 23 years that I’ve been traveling in and out of that train station. For the fact that you say that someone might end up with fleas or psoriasis you must not be able to endure much. If you think that’s dirty i guess you’ll never survive in Brooklyn or any third world country. As an advice don’t go anywhere outside the U.S. if you can’t endure the smell of pee, homeless people, cockroaches, the sight of rats (that are in mostly EVERY TRAIN STATION!) .
Well i think that the dirtiest train station in New York City would be the one that has a puddle of vomit. With a stench of pee and crap. While the air is thin and humid. With homeless beings sleeping on the seats. Rats running back and forth of a crack under a door or an area near the steps. With stains on the wall and graffiti everywhere. That’s the Dirtiest Train Station that would be out there. All you would have to do is name it.

ReplyThanks for your submission. I also feel that laptop computers are becoming more and more popular today, and now are sometimes the only form of computer included in a household. Simply because at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more economical, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they are as robust as desktop coming from just a few years back.
ReplyOne thing I would really like to say is always that car insurance cancellation is a dreadful experience so if you’re doing the correct things like a driver you won’t get one. Many people do obtain the notice that they are officially dumped by their own insurance company they then have to fight to get further insurance following a cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates are often hard to get following a cancellation. Having the main reasons for auto insurance cancellations can help owners prevent sacrificing one of the most crucial privileges offered. Thanks for the thoughts shared by your blog.
ReplyI’m new to blogging and in actual fact enjoyed your website. I am going to bookmark your internet site and keep checking you out of trouble. Seriously Thank you for sharing your internet site.
ReplyThanks for making me to acquire new suggestions about personal computers. I also possess the belief that one of the best ways to help keep your laptop computer in perfect condition is to use a hard plastic-type case, or even shell, that matches over the top of the computer. A lot of these protective gear are generally model targeted since they are manufactured to fit perfectly in the natural casing. You can buy all of them directly from owner, or through third party sources if they are designed for your laptop, however its not all laptop will have a shell on the market. All over again, thanks for your suggestions.
ReplyThanks for enabling me to attain new thoughts about computer systems. I also have belief that one of the best ways to maintain your mobile computer in prime condition is a hard plastic-type case, or perhaps shell, that matches over the top of the computer. A majority of these protective gear are generally model specific since they are made to fit perfectly across the natural housing. You can buy them directly from the vendor, or via third party places if they are available for your laptop computer, however don’t assume all laptop may have a spend on the market. All over again, thanks for your suggestions.
ReplyThanks for the points shared in your blog. Something else I would like to say is that weight reduction is not information about going on a fad diet and trying to shed as much weight as you can in a set period of time. The most effective way in losing weight is by acquiring it gradually and following some basic ideas which can make it easier to make the most out of your attempt to shed weight. You may know and be following some of these tips, however reinforcing information never does any damage.
ReplyThanks for your handy post. Through the years, I have come to understand that the particular symptoms of mesothelioma are caused by the actual build up connected fluid between lining on the lung and the chest muscles cavity. The sickness may start within the chest vicinity and pass on to other limbs. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight-loss, severe deep breathing trouble, temperature, difficulty eating, and inflammation of the neck and face areas. It must be noted that some people with the disease will not experience any serious signs or symptoms at all.
ReplyAn additional issue is video games are typically serious in nature with the main focus on learning rather than enjoyment. Although, it has an entertainment element to keep your kids engaged, just about every game is often designed to develop a specific set of skills or area, such as math concepts or scientific research. Thanks for your write-up.
ReplyI have noticed that over the course of making a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate contract, a commission is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the commission. Rather, they fight to win the commission by means of doing a good agent’s occupation. In doing so, they shell out their money plus time to carry out, as best they’re able to, the responsibilities of an adviser. Those responsibilities include exposing the home by means of marketing, offering the home to willing buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to prompt an offer, organizing home inspections, dealing with qualification assessments with the bank, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing of the deal.
ReplyThanks a lot for the helpful post. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an really long latency phase, which means that the signs of the disease may not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the 1st exposure to asbestos fiber. Pleural mesothelioma, and that is the most common variety and affects the area within the lungs, might cause shortness of breath, chest muscles pains, plus a persistent coughing, which may produce coughing up blood.
ReplyYet another kickass blog! Definitely can’t wait for more!
ReplyI have realized some points through your blog post. One other subject I would like to talk about is that there are lots of games out there designed especially for toddler age youngsters. They involve pattern acceptance, colors, creatures, and shapes. These normally focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This will keep little ones occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks
ReplyOne thing is one of the most typical incentives for utilizing your cards is a cash-back or rebate offer. Generally, you’ll get 1-5% back with various expenses. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1% back again on most buying, and 5% again on acquisitions made from convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores and ‘member merchants’.
ReplyToday, with the fast life-style that everyone is having, credit cards have a big demand in the economy. Persons coming from every field are using the credit card and people who aren’t using the card have arranged to apply for one. Thanks for sharing your ideas in credit cards.
ReplyThanks for your helpful article. One other problem is that mesothelioma cancer is generally caused by the inhalation of material from asbestos, which is a dangerous material. It can be commonly seen among employees in the construction industry that have long contact with asbestos. It is caused by living in asbestos insulated buildings for some time of time, Genes plays a huge role, and some persons are more vulnerable for the risk as compared to others.
