2 (New York City Subway Service)
The 2 Seventh Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored tomato red on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line through most of Manhattan.
The 2 service operates between 241st Street in Wakefield, the Bronx and Flatbush Avenue – Brooklyn College in Midwood, Brooklyn at all times, making all stops in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Daytime 2 service operates express in Manhattan; late night service operates local.
The service operates via White Plains Road in the Bronx, Lenox Avenue and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan and Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn.
Limited rush hour service also runs between 241st Street in the Bronx and New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn instead of Flatbush Avenue due to space limitations along the Nostrand Avenue segment south of Franklin Avenue.
