F Train FAQ

Route, Stops & Service Pattern

What is the route of the F Train?

Service operates between Jamaica-179 St and Stillwell Av. Officially labeled as the Queens Blvd Express/ 6 Av Local.

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

Yes. The F 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 49 active train(s) on this line right now.

Is the F 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 F 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 F train cost (OMNY, Apple Pay, card)?

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

Which stations on the F 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

Coney Island-Stillwell Av, Church Av, Jay St-MetroTech, Broadway-Lafayette St, W 4 St-Wash Sq, 34 St-Herald Sq, 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr, Lexington Av/63 St, Roosevelt Island, 21 St-Queensbridge, Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av, Forest Hills-71 Av, Kew Gardens-Union Tpke, Jamaica-179 St

For elevator status and accessible routing in AP Transit, use AP Transit on the map.

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

Right now, F trains are arriving approximately every 9 minutes on average. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between F trains reach about 9 minutes (worst-case spacing—your station and direction may differ).

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.

Moderate delays

Coney Island-Stillwell Av, W 8 St-NY Aquarium

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

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

Below is one snapshot from the same feed as the No Service arrows on this page, but filtered to F only (other lines can still show times here). Stations are grouped by how F is missing in our feed—at most two panels.

One direction

For F, one direction is not running in our snapshot (the other side may still show a countdown). Stops: 57 St, Lexington Av/63 St, Roosevelt Island, 21 St-Queensbridge. More detail on our map: AP Transit.
