Public Transit
Every New York City Subway line that crosses 23rd Street has a local station there:
- 23rd Street on the BMT Broadway Line serving the N R trains
- 23rd Street on the IND Eighth Avenue Line serving the A C E trains
- 23rd Street on the IND Sixth Avenue Line serving the F M trains
- 23rd Street on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line serving the 1 2 trains
- 23rd Street on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line serving the 4 6 <6> trains
Port Authority Trans-Hudson has a station at 23rd Street as well.
Additionally, MTA New York City Transit's M23 bus runs the length of 23rd Street. This replaced the horse-drawn and later electric-powered Twenty-Third Street Railway. In 2003, the Straphangers Campaign listed the M23 as one of the slowest in the city, winning its "Pokey Award."

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or transit:
“When the Revolutionaries ran short of gun wadding the Rev. James Caldwell ... broke open the church doors and seized an armful of Watts’ hymnbooks. The preacher threw them to the soldiers and shouted, “Give ‘em Watts, boys—give ‘em Watts!””
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
