The Lexington Avenue Line (sometimes called the Lex, the 4-5-6 or the IRT East Side Line) is one of the major IRT lines in the New York City Subway. A large segment of it used to be part of the first subway line in New York. Being the only line in Manhattan to directly serve the Upper East Side and East Midtown, the four-track IRT Lexington Avenue Line is the most crowded in the country. Its average of 1.3 million daily riders is "more than the combined ridership of San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston's entire transit systems." (Second Avenue Subway FEIS, p. 1–6). Its ridership also exceeds that of the 614,000 daily trips on the entire Washington Metro (SAS FEIS, p. 1–5). The Second Avenue Line has been proposed to fix this problem.

  • The Lexington Avenue Line (sometimes called the Lex, the 4-5-6 or the IRT East Side Line) is one of the major IRT lines in the New York City Subway. A large segment of it used to be part of the first subway line in New York. Being the only line in Manhattan to directly serve the Upper East Side and East Midtown, the four-track IRT Lexington Avenue Line is the most crowded in the country. Its average of 1.3 million daily riders is "more than the combined ridership of San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston's entire transit systems." (Second Avenue Subway FEIS, p. 1–6). Its ridership also exceeds that of the 614,000 daily trips on the entire Washington Metro (SAS FEIS, p. 1–5). The Second Avenue Line has been proposed to fix this problem. Several stations along this line have been abandoned. When platforms were lengthened to fit 10 cars, new entrances were built for adjacent stations, making the abandoned ones redundant. For example, 14th Street-Union Square has an entrance on 16th, and 23rd Street has an entrance on 20th, so 18th Street station was abandoned.
