Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer — Attraction in New York

No use pouting over the homeless, smells in confined spaces or hoods selling swipes, those are conditions found all over the subway system. Truth, the 8 trains that run overnite on the E line have become de-facto homeless shelters, but thats a function of the cops not forcefully ejecting round-trippers and laid-out sleepers, and the city not having the resources to properly shelter the homeless and mentally ill. Once the rush hour kicks in; the am folks going to work tend to push the sleepers into sitting positions on the trains (no help for the smells), and as long as folks aren't taking pics of the egregious violators and posting it on twitter with hashtags like #NYCT, #MTA, #ELine, #BillDeblasio, #Homeless and such this will continue to be a daily problem. Service on the Eline is contingent on service down the Queens corridor, if the corridor has a sick customer, everyone runs late for work. This is not the fault of transit personnel, who for the most trying of circumstances do a fairly decent job, but when a screamer harasses the conductor because of a fire or police action that they have no control over somewhere ahead of their train, riders should tell the screamer to STFU. It doesn't help anyone to get to work already stressed. There are 2 terminals here, if there are delays on the E line use contingency and the directions on google maps app to take the J line to their destination, both lines take similar time to get to lower manhattan. If none of this is helpful to you, for $2.75 you get 13 miles of track to the heart of NYC and beyond, anything else, there's...

Traveling in New York City can be tricky, especially when it comes to the subway. Unfortunately, the New York Subway isn't known for its cleanliness, so I won't even address that. My recent experiences, particularly with the E and F trains from Jamaica, have been consistently frustrating. While I don't use these lines daily, they seem to be delayed or out of service more than 50% of the time when I do. I initially thought this was just a weekend issue, but even on a Monday, I faced significant disruptions. Today, for example, the E train was a mess. I ended up having to take a bus to another station, which then circled around So, I opted for the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from Jamaica to Penn Station, and it was a far smoother experience. Advice for Travelers If you're a traveler heading to New York City, I strongly recommend taking the LIRR instead of the E train, especially if you're coming from or going to Jamaica. While you do need to purchase a ticket for both the subway/bus and the LIRR, the LIRR offers a more reliable and less stressful journey. I've witnessed firsthand how these subway issues can impact unsuspecting travelers, and unfortunately, refunds aren't typically offered for these delays. While I ended up with an unused subway ticket today, I don't mind the lost fare if it means a less chaotic trip. Seriously, consider the LIRR!

This subway station is okay, you have the E,J &,Ztrain all there.this particular station isn't the best ,but isn't the worst.

But it has it fair share of lottering,begging and homeless people on the subway trains.scamers trying to get riders to buy metro cards from them.don't forget the smell isn't good over there.This station also has an elevator and escalator for the handicapped

And you also have have access to the brown line bus,as well as the blue line right out side .plus York College is just up the street.but I have to add the metrocard assistant sucks she is a mta worker that suppose to assist you for the new omni cards. This lady attitude was trash,I asked her a few questions about the new card, and she acted like she didn't want to be bothered. If you are a mta employee and work in customer service and you have a messed up attitude you should find...
