4 (New York City Subway Service)
The 4 Lexington Avenue Express is a rapid transit service of the New York City Subway. It is colored apple green on station signs, route signs, and the official subway map, since it uses the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan.
The 4 service operates at all times. The daytime service pattern is between Woodlawn in the Bronx and Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn via Jerome Avenue Local in the Bronx, Lexington Avenue Express in Manhattan, and Eastern Parkway Express in Brooklyn.
During late nights, approximately 11:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. (Sundays to 8:30 a.m.) the 4 is extended to/from New Lots Avenue in New Lots, Brooklyn via Livonia Avenue to replace the 3. During this time, the 4 runs local east of Franklin Avenue. After midnight, the 4 serves all stops in Brooklyn (except Hoyt Street). In Manhattan, 4 trains run local between approximately 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Limited rush hour trains run to New Lots Avenue even when the 3 is running. During rush hours, the 4 skips 138th Street – Grand Concourse in the peak direction (to Manhattan during a.m. hours, from Manhattan during p.m. hours). Also during that period, some northbound trains run express north of 167th Street and terminate at Burnside Avenue.

Famous quotes containing the words york, city and/or subway:
“The last publicized center of American writing was Manhattan. Its writers became known as the New York Intellectuals. With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes—McCarthy and Stalin—that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“I leave you, home,
when I’m ripped from the doorstep
by commerce or fate. Then I submit
to the awful subway of the world....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
