Bruce’s 2-star review:
One of the most confusion stations I've been to in New York City with so many different lines going in different directions and at different times of day. As well, so many different exits but at least there is signage pointing the way. And in one case, leading to a closed and chained exit. Thanks for that.
According to sources, this is the 4th most busy station on the entire MTA network and it opened in 1948. It serves the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W trains.
There are the usual street level entrance/exits in Union Square, below that is a mezzanine level with an elevator at the northeast corner of 14th Street and Union Square East, then three sets of platforms below. Note that the 4, 5, 6 platform is not handicapped accessible.
The only parts of the station that are handicapped accessible are the Broadway (N, Q, R, W) and Canarsie Lines (B).
