The upper level served by the 4 train at all times, while the lower level served by the 2 train at all times and the 5 train at all times except late nights.
Place constantly smells like urine. Hood trash have fights there(hardly suprising the neighborhood is a DUMP) and the trains are frequently delayed
It was so crowed! Many people were literally trying to walk over you and their were people with no mask on. I know its a crowded area most of the time, but very important that you have a mask 😷 on at all times!
Beautiful station. Art work is breathtaking and smells like lotus all the time. I would recommend coming to this for the homeless if they want to find a nice shelter for the night.
Good
Good subway station, and connection with the 2 and 5 trains.
149th Street Grand Concourse is the transfer point in the Bronx
What more can I say its a nice subway station
I mean it is a little confusing see if u come back from 149th st on 3rd avene u wll see a elevator DO NOT GO ON IT if u want to go back to MANHATTAN it will take u to tha downtown side not tha manhattan side and u can not transfer out to get to tha other u have to get out and go back up again and pay twice . i know from expierence because that is what i did so i know what im talking about .
The station needs a lot of repairs also its dirty and rats; but theres cell phone service, free Wi-Fi, and multiple train lines (2, 4, & 5)...
Memories for me not much change but was not that bad ..good shopping..its bx
Great subway station with 3 train lines
This station is in dire need of repairs, it’s always dirty and smelly. Why make us pay $2.75+ for a rundown station?
Clean platforms and frequent trains. Countdown clocks, free Wi-Fi, and cell service here too. Transfer to the (2) and (5) trains via a passageway.
The only thing Im thinking about Right now is the WIFI were getting in bigger stations in the Bronx. This could be one of them....
Needs cleanliness.. free wifi... not much crowded....
See the the cars taking out the trash at night then they have a burning smell. Has the newsstand snacks and drinks
They forgot my kids happy meal and fries give me apple slices without a kids meal.
Dunkin Donuts, Popeyes, and Burger King is close by.
Nice station,, service after 12 not good at all
Too many steps
Historically station bnb I really appreciate it

2022-05-26Sorry to say but this is one of my least favorite stations. It is and has always been very dirty . Its almost as bad as the one on the 135th and dont get me started on the one on 125th street. This station attracts alot of homeless folks and not much has ever been done about them.. trains are running smooth today and everything seems to be working as far as those details are concerned.

2021-06-16Get your PPE from the machine. Train station is quite and clean. In the morning about 9.00-10.30am is not crowded. More seats available. Looks not too dangerous. In the evening you will see NYPD on duty.

2019-10-01The 149st Grand Concourse train station is a place where you can get connected to the 4 train to Woodlawn, 2 and 5 train to Flatbush Avenue and Gunhill, Drye etc. All trains to uptown, downtown, Brooklyn and Manhattan.Some times getting a direction may be a bit difficult expecially for naive transit passangers , dont hesitate to ask questions and New Yorkers are friendly people easy to provide support when requested in a respective manner as well.

2018-06-09149th Street–Grand Concourse is a New York City Subway station complex shared by the IRT Jerome Avenue Line and the IRT White Plains Road Line. Located at East 149th Street and Grand Concourse in Mott Haven and Grand Concourse in the Bronx. The complex is served by the:2 and 4 trains at all times5 train at all times except late nights on weekdays149th Street–Grand Concourse on the IRT White Plains Road Line has two tracks and two side platforms. There is a high rounded ceiling that is visible at the west end of the station and is similar in design to those of 168th Street and 181st Street stations on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. The IRT White Plains Road Line platforms are located on the lower level of this two level complex. There are elevators (now closed) and a pedestrian bridge between the two platforms (also closed) on this level at the southern end of the platforms.Originally opened as Mott Avenue on July 10, 1905, 149th Street–Grand Concourse was the first subway station to be opened in the Bronx. The original headhouse is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Today, all of the original mosaic Mott Avenue name tablets have been covered over with metal 149 St–Grand Concourse signs. Only one name tablet, located on the downtown platform between the last two staircases at the northern end, remained uncovered and survived intact until a few years into the 21st century when a serious water leak after very heavy rainfall caused individual tiles to separate from the wall and fall off. There were no known plans by the MTA to repair or restore this name tablet. In the fall of 2011, the MTA covered this name tablet with a metal 149 St–Grand Concourse sign.South of the station, there are track connections to the IRT Jerome Avenue Line. The line splits and makes a sharp turn to merge with the Jerome Avenue Line just south of the upper level station. There is a huge amount of train traffic in this area, and the connections turns are so sharp that 5 trains using the connections usually get delayed for about a minute. The White Plains Road Line continues straight under the Harlem River and merges with the IRT Lenox Avenue Line at 142nd Street Junction.From the time of the opening of the station in 1905 until 2002, there were no columns between the northbound and southbound tracks, allowing an unobstructed view across the station. Thin supports for communications conduit have since been installed.

2018-12-19Yuck. Always crowded like crazy. Nasty and smelly it could be better the neighborhood affects alot. Board at your own risk. The 4 train is the only reason I deal with it. Its express sometimes worth the headache!?

2021-10-27It was very crowded and un organized. The train went out of service and NO ONE knew what to do. The conductors didnt know either. We were left to fend for ourselves

2017-03-30This train station always looked creepy to me. The service as usual sucks! The train ETA display is wrong sometimes.

2021-03-20While the area around this station is not very safe, the fact is the lower level 2&5 station is quite historic being it is the first underground subway station to open in the Bronx on July 10,1905.
