MTA-Myrtle Avenue/Broadway Station

This station is my favorite of my commute to work bc of the express trains. There are always trains going into the city. The only downside is the neighborhood surrounding the stop hasn’t gentrified yet and there are quite a few sketchy ppl at late hours.

Why does the train ALWAYS wait here for a few minutes? Seriously, can someone tell me, it’s really annoying, especially if you’re standing.

How come Myrtle ave — Broadway doesn’t have a review yet?
This station is served by the J, M and Z lines.
The J runs express to Manhattan in the weekdays morning, this meaning that the next stop is Marcy avenue; it runs express to Jamaica center in the weekdays afternoon roughly until 8pm, again skipping Hewes St, Lorimer St and Flushing avenue.
M trains run always local between Forest Hills and Metropolitan ave during weekdays, roughly until 11 30 pm; then only operates as shuttle between Myrtle ave-​Broadway and Metropolitan ave.
The elevated station serves Bushwick and Bedford– Stuyvesant neighborhoods.
Atop the platform you can see what remains of the old portion of the Myrtle avenue line, that formerly connected downtown Brooklyn to Broadway, demolished in the early 70’s.
The station itself is not the cleanest, there’s no elevator, and that’s bad since the J line connects to the air train to JFK airport in less than 35 minutes; this meaning you have to climb up many flights of stairs to get to the train. But there’s a small waiting area when outside is freezing for those that prefer to wait inside, and an alarm warns you when a train is approaching.
The faceted glass in mezzanine windows and platform windscreens are very beautiful, especially when lit by the sun.
