Old ; its rundown ; needs renovations ; could use a facelift ; not the worst but certainly not the best; maybe it was once pristine ; however its nowhere near clean ; dont want to sound mean but one could get my drift without a rift as everyday its your MTA Money Thrown Away!
N.Y. city residents should be familiar with trains that have been temporarily taken off the tracks for repairs and also which stations are temporarily closed. But, unknowing visitors should be careful during weekends or maybe even possibly weekdays of such important information. For instance, there is absolutely no signage or any indication in front of the 8th Avenue & 50th Street station that it is closed. So any visitor may walk down the unlighted steps to danger. Not safe!!!
Be aware that there isnt an underpass, and many of its entrances/exits have been closed over the years, leaving the southernmost part of the station with most of the access points to the street. Avoid being in the north end of the train if you wish to get out of the subway quickly after getting off the train.
Not bad at alll
Apparently google Maps @maps.google, always suggests transfer from downtown to uptown, or vice-versa, when going thru this station or airport, lots of tourists get caught. However, there is no underpass or way to access the opposite direction. People walk out, or get off at this station and have to pay and cross the street to take the train in other direction. Not sure how station agent doesnt loose his mind but I told him I would post this. Google maps please change this.
To me is convenient because my Chaplin Barber Shop is right next to 50 street subway station, on 302 west 50 street. So I can always get a fresh haircut and beard trim before I go home.
Clean and well kept station. 2 entrances / exits. Uptown and Queens bound trains are on the east side of 8th Avenue. Downtown and Brooklyn trains enter the west side of 8th Avenue. Elevator on downtown side only.
You cannot transfer to a train going in the opposite direction whether you need to take a C and need to transfer to an Uptown E or vice versa! @maps.google does not give you proper directions regarding this transfer!
50 Street is situated in Midtown, the station is served by the C train during weekdays and weekends, the E train at all times and the A during disruptions and late nights. This station is actually one of the worst stations in the subway, there are rats and the station and wreaks of odour, the MTA needs to fix this station and replace the gross tiles.
Pleasant enough but also somewhat confusing if you are from out of town, it seems as though the uptown and downtown lines are on different sides of the avenue and you have to leave and go back in to change directions, thus paying an additional subway fare, be careful to take the C for most local stops as the A is express and has very limited stops.
Such a beautiful view👀💥...i think I fell in love.💘
This is the best station in Manhattan to watch the subway rats. Just head down to the lower platform on the downtown side where the E train runs. Its nature at its finest!
It does provide escalator access to both trains, the station is well lit and also contains an attendee behind glass for questions.
No A train. No underpass to cross from uptown platform to downtown platform. Perpetually under construction. Downtown side on 50th street doesnt even have a proper subway sign - just a random M on the wall. Pathetic station
Good ol 50th st station. Hot, smelly, & muggy like every summer season. It cant be helped. Its a sub-terrain station. But it has served me well when ever I come to this station.
Very hard to see all of the various entrances from street level and there is no underground connection between uptown and downtown. Awful station!
Gets my vote for most for largest Rats I have ever seen. Wish I had my phone on me that day. Unbelievable.
The lower level is served by the E train at all times, and the upper level is served by the C train at all times except late nights when A train takes over service.
Not much crowded! But a lot of stairs to walk up 😂
Not a bad station. Frustrating that theres no crossover from uptown to downtown.
Remember that queens bound and downtown trains have separate entrances on opposite sides of the street.
Enough space to hold people and always well lit
Is a typical subway station
Was at the train station
This is the worst station. The transfer from the 6 to the E is brutal.
Super busy.
Clean
Signal repairs, and installing yellow warning strips.
M&Ms store is sooo busy and everyone is a tourist!
Cleanish, on time and easy to get around.
Ok stop - no underpass as far as I can remember.
Great station. Love it
The A doesn’t stop here, needs to be updated.
No ventilation. Dark.
Dirty and grimy but hey its NYC
Nearest Subway to the Michelangelo Hotel.
Like it
Good
Meh
Not an A stop
Very upset customer! I pulled in to your lot located steps away from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and was told $ 35 for my SUV. My sister than pulled in behind me in her SUV and I said she was with me. The guy clearly said $ 35 for me and $ 15 for her totaling $ 50. I asked more than once to clarify since it seemed to good even asking so $ 25 per car and he said yes so we agreed to park and forgo our $ 34.95 coupon for the IKON lot located just down the street. When we picked up our cars he changed it to $ 35 for my car and $ 50 for my sister. After an altercation he proceeded to tell me I would have to now wait for my car. I had with me a 6 and 4 year old and it was 15 degrees outside. When he did finally bring a car it was not mine because he wrote down a brown Chevy Sudan and I have an orange 2018 equinox. He again proceeded to make me wait in the cold as he brought out other cars and was just yelling out types of cars. At one point he actually said who has the white lexis maybe I should have said me a jumped in and took off since he had no idea whos car was whos. No one should ever park here and I will be writing this story on any review site I can unless we are reimbursed. It was a trouble operation.(Translated by Google)Very annoyed customer!

A station is half hidden, but everything is ok
Unacceptable subway, great difficulty for people with disabilities and a stroller with a child. Intense smell of pebbles, jugs, narcotics and everything else one wants to find. Employees are peaceful when they look at you to open the door for the disabled. Thats why you push the door and let the alarm go off
A subway station located near the Manhattan Hilton Hotel. It is free in the daytime. Unlike the old days, there are no graffiti on the station or train, and it is beautiful.
Necessary step to access Times Square and the theater district
Excellent place
Trains on time or in advance.

2022-04-21E train is painfully slow. do not trust google on train times. it said 2minute wait and its been over 30 minutes.... do better MTA
Review №2
2022-01-18Its a local stop for the 8th Avenue lines. Being between major stops like Times Square, Columbus Circle, & 7th Avenue makes this station a significant stop in its own right.
Review №3
2021-05-21Platforms are on two levels, no crossover from downtown to uptown. Worldwide Plaza side only is served by an escalator and elevator.

2019-11-27Really busy no clear signs of whether there was a handicap access location.on the marquee where it says what station it is it should have a clear handicap accessible sign and the voice on the train should have a handicap sign non it too. have to walk 2 flights of stairs to catch the c. Just got off the e and it says the a train stops here. No benches to sit. Has the Alice in wonderland theme painted pretty cool

2021-06-19You cant cross from uptown to downtown unless you leave the station and re-swipe your card. Who tf designs these stations?
Review №9
2019-11-27Its like every other train station, its dirty and stuff. But, its easy to find your way. Also, you only take the uptown train at one side, to take the downtown, you have to go out, walk a few mins and swipe your card again. Its better to know which one you want first or take the train to the next stop, come out and find the other one.

2019-05-15No MTA workers are around to fix gummed up MetroCard machines when you need them, typically on the uptown side.On the downtown side there are fewer issues. If you have an out-of-town friend planning to use this station you need to warn them about the two levels for the E and the C. Its absurd how we hang out by the stairs to the downtown E because everyone knows it goes to the same stops as the downtown C well to a point. So naturally people crowd around the top of the stairs to take whichever train arrives first. The audio address system seems to have improved, so 2 stars for that and for the reliable MetroCard machines on the downtown side
