86 St

"Nice & happy people working in the station, this is the way have to be. “ Happy Friday & enjoy you weekend” simple words that make you smile… 05-2-2024 8:00 AM. God bless you guys for amazing Job"

"In terms of subway stations in the Belly of the Beast, this place is posh. The skankery begins further down the Q-line. Well illuminated and spacious. Escalators in working order, and no pizza-rats scurrying over your crocs."

"One of the best, spacious and bright stations so far. I like the design with portraits and mosaics on the wall and high ceiling with good bright light. And the Q train is a good line to reach this part of Manhattan."

"I love this station. It's got great mosaic art pieces, the q line has been the most reliable and the subway cars are much nicer and cleaner than the old ones. It is much cooler in this station than the older ones. It's got a very convenient entrance on 83rd Street but it is not wheelchair accessible on that side. (Only on the 86th street side). The escalators are huge and have been out of power a few times and it is almost comical how bad it is because many people need a break when walking up them, but it is usually okay. And it's clean and doesn't smell like bad yet so that's a plus! Also beware: just swipe your card and don't go over or under the entrance because there are normally cops that I have seen stop people a few times here."

"Very clean, wide open space. If the elevators or escalators fail, mountain climbing 101."
