Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: A

The E, J, and Z lines meet the AirTrain at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue, while you'd have to take the A train to the Howard Beach stop to get to the AirTrain. The E, J, and Z also all share an eastern terminus at Jamaica Center.

Answer: E

The A, J, and Z all enter Manhattan via Brooklyn. The E would probably be your best bet, making express stops in Queens and heading directly into Manhattan via 53rd Street.

Answer: G

The G runs from Court Square in Long Island City to Church Avenue in Brooklyn without once entering Manhattan. This line is one of the less populated lines, and G trains usually consist of 5 cars instead of the usual 10 or 11.

4. If you're in New York in the summer, you may want to head to see the world-famous New York Yankees. Which of these subway trains does NOT take you to Yankee Stadium?

Answer: 7

The B and D run on the same track underground, and those riding the 4 above-ground have a clear view of the stadium before they even get off the train. Taking the 7 towards Queens will actually take you to Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.

5. If you're not into sports, you may want to head to City Hall. All of the subway trains have a "City Hall" stop, but which of them also makes stops at two of the four Borough Halls?

Answer: 4

The 4, 5, and R can all take you to the Brooklyn Borough Hall, just a few stops away. The 4, though, can also take you to the Bronx Borough Hall on Grand Concourse, just a short walk from the Yankee Stadium station.

Answer: M

The two terminals on the M, Middle Village-Metropolitan Avenue and Forest Hills-71st Avenue are only about 2.5 miles apart. The line is fully local, though, making 36 stops along the way.

7. Which of these subway lines is the only one in New York City to make an above-ground stop in Manhattan?

Answer: 1

All four of these lines have above-ground stops elsewhere, but the 1 is the only to head above-ground in Manhattan. The 1 also is entirely above-ground in the Bronx until its northern terminus, Van Cortlandt Park.

8. Which of these New York streets appears in the most subway station names?

Answer: 23rd Street

There are five separate stations along 23rd Street in Manhattan. Along with the 23rd Street-Court Square station in Queens, the name "23rd Street" is shared by six different stations. The name "Broadway" does appear in three different boroughs (Bronx, Manhattan, Queens) though, the most of any name.

9. Which of these four New York subway lines does NOT travel on the same track along Central Park West?

Answer: E

The A, B, C, and D trains all travel along this track. The E train travels along the same track as the A and C trains as far north as 42nd Street, where it starts to head towards Queens.

Answer: 103 Street - Corona Plaza

The 103 Street station is one of the only stations on the 7 line without a bus stop like this. It does, however, happen to be one of the closest stations to LaGuardia based on distance alone.
