"express station " what makes it "express"?
- On the New York City Subway, most lines have express trains that make fewer stops, and at express stations, like Nostrand Avenue, both express and local trains stop, as opposed to local stations, which are bypassed by express trains.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:03, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - The MTA classifies "express" stops as those served by all trains. There are theoretically stops served only by express trains, but in the NYC Subway, these run local along certain stretches. epicgenius (talk) 23:08, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks, both, but how does a reader like me know what it means from this article? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 09:26, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
