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

A standard one-way NYC Subway fare—including the A train—is $3.00 when you tap OMNY at the turnstile (official MTA base fare as of June 2026).

Which stations on the A line have accessibility (ADA)?

These stations on this line are marked as fully ADA accessible in our static database (always verify elevators and gates on site):

Accessible stops

Far Rockaway-Mott Av, Rockaway Park-Beach 116 St, Howard Beach-JFK Airport, Aqueduct Racetrack, Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd, Euclid Av, Utica Av, Jay St-MetroTech, Fulton St, W 4 St-Wash Sq, 14 St, 34 St-Penn Station, 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal, 59 St-Columbus Circle, 125 St, 168 St, 175 St, Inwood-207 St

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

Right now, A trains are arriving approximately every 14 minutes on average. However, wait times may be longer due to active delays. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between A trains reach about 14 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 A train (ETA on the arriving train)?

For the next A 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.

Higher delays

Broadway Junction, Utica Av, 80 St, Grant Av, Euclid Av

Confirm with live countdowns in AP Transit or open Status & Alerts below if service shifts.

Which stations on the A line currently have no service or a closed direction for A trains?
