Best skyline view in town is when the 7 train turns after Queensborough Plaza & heads toward Court Square. My favorite part of morning & evening commute is that view. Beautiful.

If you're going to to the city straight from Flushing (or vice versa) take the 7 express. It'll cut your travel time in half. Express trains have red squares and local trains have green circles.

Queens is NYC's most international borough, so a ride on the 7 train—the purple-hued subway line that cuts through Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona and Flushing

If you're not sure of the stop order, sit in the center seats towards the doors. You can see the listing from there.

Look out the window near Court St and you'll see a great view of 5 Points graffiti, views you can't get from the ground level

CRY! "No matter what time of day, every single person on the 7 train is in a deep sleep or stupor." -http://cryingnewyork.tumblr.com/

Keep your eyes peeled for mariachis on the 7! And those kids who play music & do flips on the bars. Never a dull moment on the 7 train ^_^

Utterly ridiculous how the 7 refuses to put on green/red light- Local or Express coming out of Main Street. And then when you ask the station master dude gets a tude & wonders why I have a go at him

Unreliable on weekends leave EXTRA early (and sometimes it's not running from queensborough plaza - 42nd street Times Square due to construction)

At times it seems stampedes are possible at Main St., if you want a seat during the morning Manhattan-bound commute. Brace yourselves!!!

More diversity than at an UN meeting! Love it, but it's so slow!!

Coming from flushing go thru the door after the conductor to stop exactly in front of the staircase at every stop

I spend so much time on the 7 line that now it feels like home!
Sandy ChenFebruary 26, 2012
People talk really loudly on their cells on this train line since it travels mostly outdoors. Turn up the volume on your headphones!

Take off your back pack before you get on during rush hour. You will fit more comfortably.

The 7 train has the smallest closest seats of all the lines, no breathing room, NYC at its best

A tractor-trailer owned by a pallet company that has been painted up to look like a vintage silver subway car, complete with colorful graffiti by Smart Crew.

I know you see me with this cane..don't act like you're blind..get up so I can sit down. Manners people..get some. And stop pretending you don't speak/understand English.

Prepare to be cursed out in one of seventeen different languages if you don't move away from the doors.

Don't be afraid to shove your way deeper into the car. Etiquette calls for you to say "excuse me" twice. If they don't move, pretend they're a revolving door and just push your way through.

Per capita, a lot of drunken Mets fans relieved that Bochy put Aubrey Huff at 2B. Go Giants! We lost!

If you miss the times for an express train plan on being at least 10 minutes late.

The logo looks like a disco ball. Bring some sweet beats and own the floor

OIf you use this line for your daily commute, my condolences! Slow, overcrowded with nasty fellow passengers that will eat smelly food right on top of you!

Zach HarrisSeptember 30, 2010
If you're at Citi field be sure to head all the way to the front of the train for a seat
Mags KellyMarch 30, 2013
Get some beer and have some fun on the 7 train!!!!!!!
Paul RodriguezJuly 22, 2011
Try taking it late night. If you don't get stabbed, you get a free lapdance. I did!

Nothing makes me madder than getting kicked off the local train at Mets-Willet's Point and being forced to take an already overcrowded train one stop to Flushing. Thanks MTA.
