Jashawn R. Posted March 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2010 On Wednesday, I'm getting my high school results. Most likely, I will be attending the Urban Assembly School for Design and Construction. I live in the Bronx, and I want to know the fastest way to W 50th Street and 10 Av during rush hour. So far, I think this is the fastest way to my school. Bx41 Local to E 205th Street, then the to 59th Street - Columbus Circle, then to 50th Street. I want to avoid the Lexington Avenue lines at all costs. Are there any faster ways to get to Midtown? Thanks, SubwayTrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2010 Just take a Delta to 59th/CC and walk. 9 blocks and 2 avenues won't kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, SubwayTrain If you're closer to WPR area - I would take the express down to 3 AV transfer to the which will more than likely be sitting on the local track at Jackson letting the go in front, so it wont be a long wait at all....then take the to 72 for to 50th and use the free transfer and hop the M50 if ur using a PPR Metrocard ofcourse:tup: The Reason i suggest this is these IRT lines dont get held up, as nearly as much as the ....the is delayed by others the ( then the cutting infront of it plus CPW express is SOOOOO SLOW.....Not to mention the BX41 stops at every corner....by the time the BX41 gets you to the the will have you at 3 AV...and by the time your at 125th on the , the will be dropping you off on 50th...

Lennyj17 Posted March 21, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 21, 2010 Well since you're going home and its not as much of a crunch to save time....Take the since its closer....or if you want to relax, take the M50 back over to madison av and hop the BXM11 want to save the hassels of train transfering and a long local bus ride.

checkmatechamp13 Posted March 21, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 21, 2010 You can use either the MTA trip planner or the google.com/transit website. If they give you a Student MetroCard, which has 3 free trips, you have more options on getting home. You can save yourself the trouble of walking to the train by taking the M50 to 8th Avenue for the and then transferring to the to the Bx41. Also, you are allowed to get a 4-trip card if you have a 2 or more hour commute, which I don't think you have but it is worth asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky's the limit buddy so feel free experimenting your favorite path to school...when I was in HS I had roughly five ways of getting to school: B25 from Utica Avenue/Fulton Street to Classon Avenue, then B48 to the BQE B46 from Fulton Street/Utica Avenue to Lorimer Street, then B48 to the BQE (A)/© from Utica Avenue to Hoyt - Schermerhorn Streets, then the to Lorimer Street (A)/© from Utica Avenue to Broadway Junction, then to Lorimer Street (A)/© from Utica Avenue to 14th Street in Manhattan, then to Bedford Avenue For some reason, the path I took the most was the last...why I don't know, even when I was going from one spot in Brooklyn to another spot in Brooklyn...via Manhattan! But it was fun. You'll find many different ways to get from your house to school and back, and you'll find a path that you'll favor. Have fun and enjoy high school!

Well You can take ether WPR or Concourse, but I STRONGLY suggest you just take concourse instead Via Concourse (Including Saint Nicholas Avenue/Central Park West/8th Avenue Lines) the stops your doing is: 205th Street, Bedford Pk, E Kingsbridge, E. Fordham Road, East Tremont Avenue, 145th Street, 125th Street, 59th followed by the to 50th (Next) Via White Plains Road (Including IRT Lenox/Brodway Lines) E233rd, E225th, E219, E Gun Hill Rd, Burke, Allerton, Pelham Pkway, Bronx Pk East, 180th/Morris Pk Ave.. With WPR Express after 180th would 149th Street/The Hub followed by the With WPR Local after 180th is 177th/Tremont Ave, E174th, Freeman, Simpson, Intervale, Prospect, Jackson, 149th Street/The Hub, Mott Avenue/149th, 135th, 125th, 116th, 110th street, 96th, 72nd followed by the to 50th Street Yea I love the call by the old names for some , im a classic lol Anyways, Now notice the difference from the WPR and Concourse... Even tho you gotta take a Bus to 205th street, but still, you save time from all the WPR stops then the Concourse. I love the WPR, but sometimes it gets annoying thanks to the Lexington.. Which the congestion starts at Prospect Avenue on Westchester.. Plus the waiting at Jackson Avenue for or is another crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but thats some 238th Bound trains, which ive caught before and the end there.. I believe it does the express run cuz of the 180th/Union port rd yard renovation.. I think thats what trainmaster<5> said, but i think it does it to have direct access to 239th I may do the WPR on thur with a ride video.

Yes the would be fast but the train is still slow after Jackson avenue, Plus the going Local to 96th wastes a bit more time. And sometimes the gets stuck near the 142nd street junction cuz the is coming in.
