Can't go wrong with the (4) and the (6). Those lines kick ass together with their R142s and R142As of awesomeness. The (4) and (6) rock like Zeke and Luther and Drake and Josh.

 

And the (2)'s awesome since it's the best and only line I've taken whenever I went to the Bronx Zoo. And it's the only 7th Ave line with R142s. Which is so awesome!

 

so the (2) and the (4)/(6) FTIRTW!!!

I Have to go with the (5) Fast On Lexington Avenue and Scenic in the bronx. provides a close view of unionport and 180th st yards plus scenic vegetation past morris park. a very quiet section of the line, one of the only IRT Lines to pass through such a nice place.

Gimme dat (1). Gimme dat broadway local pushin' up to Van Cortlandt (1). Gimme dat 3-5 minute frequency (1). Gimme dat easy way up to Columbus Circle (1). Sometimes it's got its quirks. Sometimes it pisses me off. But when it comes to manhattan travel I say "Gimmie dat (1)". So gimmie dat (1). Dat straight line up to Inwood and Marble Hill (1). Jump on at Rector to all points north (1). Easiest connection to the (7) train (1). I'm rambling too much though and you probably get the point. So I close out with the phrase "Gimme dat (1).

I got to say the (6),<6> line is the best IRT route. I like the frequent service, transfers to most lines and the fact that it's the Lexington Avenue local is a bonus. Easy ride from Pelham Bay Park to Midtown and lots of points in between.That line is ALWAYS crowded when i'm using it!!!
