How often does the F train come, and what is the maximum wait?

Right now, F trains are arriving approximately every 8 minutes on average. However, wait times may be longer due to active delays. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between F trains reach about 6 minutes (worst-case spacing—your station and direction may differ). Active delay alerts can stretch headways beyond that snapshot—see Status & Alerts below.

Which stations may have spacing issues for the next F train (ETA on the arriving train)?

For the next F train arriving at each listed stop, our feed’s ETA reliability score on that arrival is low. Scores under 60 usually align with about five minutes of extra variability; scores under 30 can mean larger gaps ahead. Stations are grouped by severity—at most two panels.
