Is the 6X line operating right now, and how many 6X trains are running?

Yes. The 6X line is operating, but our station snapshot flags Service issues on the line—many stops show gaps or irregular arrivals for this route. Our live feed maps about 24 active train(s) on this line right now.

Is the 6X train running well right now?

Right now our algorithm rates this line as Service issues on the line based on recent wait times and live reliability. There are no active alerts for this route in our feed right now.

When does the 6X service change?

How much does an NYC Subway ride on the 6X train cost (OMNY, Apple Pay, card)?

A standard one-way NYC Subway fare—including the 6X train—is $3.00 when you tap OMNY at the turnstile (official MTA base fare as of May 2026). You can pay with a contactless credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a physical or digital OMNY card.

How often does the 6 train come, and what is the maximum wait?

Right now, 6 trains are arriving approximately every 3 minutes on average. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between 6 trains reach about 4 minutes (worst-case spacing—your station and direction may differ).

Which stations may have spacing issues for the next 6 train (ETA on the arriving train)?

For the next 6 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.
