East New York — Local services in New York

A real "stab and jab" looking station. To begin with no sign on the entrance telling you it's a station - just a hole in the ground. Like others noted the tunnel to the track is a dark wet pee smelling adventure.

Traveling through the underpass is always a practice in holding my breath while speed-walking because there is no maintenance to rid it of its various pests and urine-saturation. It's a disgraceful, "tale of two cities" situation between this stop and the next - marking differences in neighborhood prioritization on behalf of the...
