MONOPOLY COMPANY IS THE MTA! Been living here for 20 years and Pelham bay mta workers don't do anything to improve the service nor their attitudes. They think they're police! The clerk (not cop) doesn't do anything but I bet is getting a hefty paycheck. The cleaners DO NOT CLEAN! They come out of a government program and are definitely not educated and not fit to cater to people on the train.
The mop is really wet when they mop so people slip when they get on, no one cleans up the station its always dirty FILLED with homeless crazy people who they do not wake and tell them it's the last stop to get them off the train ride they don't even pay for! so becareful!

I was originally going to rate this a 5 but I'm knocking it down to a 3 because the trash at the end of the walkway over the Bruckner has really old trash on it. Clean it up already!
This is a review of the station. It was very nice. It needs a Citibike Dock though.
I was impressed that the emergency gate was card actuated. A nice touch. I always use them when I have my bike.
My reviews tend to be bike oriented. I don't own a car but will rent one on vacations. If this perspective interests you. You may want to follow my reviews. Google Maps does not have a keyword for bike or biking. ...
