B Train FAQ

Route, Stops & Service Pattern

What is the route of the B Train?

Service operates between 145 St/Bedford Park Blvd and Brighton Beach. Officially labeled as the 6 Avenue Express.

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

The B line reads as No Service across most stations in our live snapshot—use Status & Alerts or the map for the next update. Service is not reliable enough in our snapshot to headline an active-train count—treat the line as stressed or partially unusable until conditions improve; use Status & Alerts below or AP Transit.

Is the B train running well right now?

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

When does the B service change?

Service patterns often change during late nights (11 PM – 5 AM) and weekends for planned work. Always check active alerts.

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

A standard one-way NYC Subway fare—including the B train—is $3.00 when you tap OMNY at the turnstile (official MTA base fare as of September 2026). You can pay with a contactless credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a physical or digital OMNY card. Free in-system transfers and time-limited transfers to other MTA subway lines and local buses follow MTA rules; for discounts, commuter benefits, and the latest fare rules, open AP Transit on our homepage.
