The Urinals of the New York City Subway System

Most of the bathrooms throughout New York's extensive subway system were closed in the 1970's to combat crime. However, a large amount of the restrooms have been reopened. Here is a sampling of the numerous urinals that may be found throughout the world's largest subway system.

These urinals can be found at the 34th St station, located at 34th St and 6th Ave in Manhattan. This station is served by the B, D, F and V trains on the middle level, and by the N, R, W and Q trains on the lower level, while these urinals can be found on the upper concourse level. Served by the A train, the Howard Beach station in Queens is your connection to the JFK International Airport. At Howard Beach, airport-bound passengers may bound the AirTrain, which serves all airline terminals at JFK. The AirTrain also serves the Sutphin Boulevard / Archer Ave stop on the E, J and Z trains, which is the faster way to get to JFK via New York City Subway. This urinal may be found at the Rockaway Park / Beach 116th St station in the Rockaways section of Queens. This station is one of the most far-flung stops in the system, and it is connected to the rest of the subway via the S shuttle train that meets up with the A train at the Broad Channel station. During rush hours, the A train also runs here to Rockaway Park. This fixture is located at the 77th St station in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, which is served by the R train. This decrepit yet disturbingly foul-smelling installation serves the Willets Points / Shea Stadium stop on the 7 train. This elevated stop is connected directly to Shea Stadium, as well as Arthur Ashe Stadium, home of the U.S. Open
