Chambers Street (J/Z) is the obvious choice. Runner up is 57 street/6th Avenue. The station looks like a prison. The bronze goes to 145 Street/St. Nicholas (A,B,C,D). |

People ate hot foods, purchased right in the system, for over 40 years, until NYCT killed off all the hot-food vendors in the system. Now you have people bringing hot foods into the system from outside, from establishments that could be inside the system, paying rent to the MTA.People are gonna eat all kinds of foods on the subway, whether or not they can purchase them inside fare-control. I say bring back the hot-dog stands and let the MTA earn more revenue from them...might even help to keep costs down elsewhere in NYCT... |

It's a relatively new station yet has tons of cracked tiles and looks rather worn. Making it all white probably wasn't the smartest move. |

It was redone but is still dark and dirty with peeling paint. I was waiting for a train there one evening when a big rat came down the escalator, saw me, and ran back upstairs. |

I apologize for the double-post. I thought I was refreshing the index when I was actually refreshing the posting function. My apologies entirely.To avoid it being a total loss, 59th St and 95th St, also on the 4th Ave line were right up there with 86th St for me. Again though I'm not sure if things have changed in the last few years. |

Posted by El-Train on Sat Aug 20 17:38:35 2011, in response to What Is Your Least Favorite Subway Station In NYC?, posted by LuchAAA on Sat Apr 3 05:11:34 2010. - Grand Central on the Lex. A claustraphobic nightmare during rush hour.- 86th & 79th/Broadway, so much of the original tilework is gone, even in the original 1904 portions of the platforms. They feature the last remnants of those ugly beige/pink tiles that have been steadily stripped off the West Side IRT in the last 15-20 years of renovations. - 137th/CC, not just because of its bland renovation, but because it has hidden away and/or destroyed some of the most unique station panels in all of the IRT. At least they preserved two of them. - 68th/Hunter College, the platforms look like absolute crap (some missing tile sections are actually painted over), but at least it's got a direct entrance to the college which is pretty neat and convenient for a student like me. :) |

But at least the sound of the trains doesn't assault your ears as they pass through the station. Modifications were made during the rebuilding which make the station much quieter than usual. |

Chambers St isn't obvious at all. It's an AWESOME station, perhaps one of my FAVORITE in the system. This isn't a thread about the "worst" station in the system (it usually wins that one), but it's about least favorite....there's quite a difference. |
