      Only New York Natives Can Pass This NYC Subway Quiz!

      Only New York Natives Can Pass This NYC Subway Quiz!
      Trivia / IQ

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 2, 2024

      If you call New York City home, then you should know your way around the NYC subway system. So put your knowledge to the test, take our quiz, and see if you’re a true New Yorker or a bridge and tunnel wannabe!

      Only New York Natives Can Pass This NYC Subway Quiz!

      Oh, the New York City subway, a labyrinth of trains that only the bravest of souls dare to navigate without a map. It's the underground chariot that carries millions of New Yorkers to their destinations, with a complexity and personality all its own. We've all encountered that proud New Yorker who claims to know the ins and outs of this subterranean beast like the back of their hand—a claim that’s about to be put to the ultimate test.

      A crowded NYC subway platform with diverse passengers waiting, surrounded by iconic subway signs and maps

      If you've ever caught yourself bragging about being able to recite the stops on the Q train in your sleep or smugly telling tales of the time you outsmarted a tourist with your savvy swipe of the MetroCard, then buckle up, buddy! It's time to prove your mettle with the ultimate NYC Subway Quiz that we've concocted. We promise it's packed with twists and turns as unpredictable as the A train on a Sunday afternoon.

      Let's see if you can distinguish your 6 trains from your 6 Express or if you're just bluffing. Because let’s face it, if you've ever been squished into a subway car like a sardine during rush hour, or confusedly hopped off and on the shuttle at Times Square, you've earned the right to at least try to claim the throne of a True Subway Connoisseur. So, are you ready to see if your subway skills are up to scratch?

      The Ultimate Subway Showdown

      The crowded subway platform buzzes with energy as trains screech to a halt. Passengers jostle for space while the iconic subway signs loom overhead

      Strap in, folks! We're about to hop aboard the trivia train for a whirlwind tour of the New York City subway. Will you emerge as the subway savant or get lost in the tunnels of tricky questions?

      Stations Galore: From Grand Army Plaza to Coney Island

      In this section, we're not just coasting along; our knowledge of stations is on the fast track. "Stations Galore" pits your wits against the bewildering maze of stops across the city. Can you sort out your Soho from your Sheepshead Bay without peeking at a map? We’re tossing out questions like confetti at a ticker-tape parade, each one a snapshot of New York’s subterranean landmarks.

      • Grand Army Plaza: A cultural gateway or a simple subway stop?
      • Coney Island: End of the line or a start to beachy adventures?

      Famous Rides: The A Train to the Shuttle

      Every New Yorker has a tale or two about the A train, but can you distinguish fact from anecdote? We're testing if the songs got it right or if Hollywood took too many liberties. Did the A Train inspire a jazz standard or was it just really, really good at being on time?

      • The A Train: Icon of rapid transit or just another line on the map?
      • The Shuttle: A quick jaunt in Midtown, but does it factor into your daily dash?

      The Depths of the City: Exploring Underground New York

      Take a deep breath, because now we dive into the depths of the City. Do you know the oldest tunnels or the newest routes snaking under the urban jungle? Our quiz throws down the gauntlet. Will you rise like a phoenix from the ashes with your trivia answers or are you fated to haunt the abandoned tracks like a lost ghost train?

      • Oldest tunnels: Historic thoroughfares or age-old myths of engineering?
      • Newest routes: The Second Avenue saga or a future trivia question waiting to be asked?

      As we lay down these questions like tracks across New York's urban expanse, we double-dare you to reach an average score that's as awe-inspiring as the city itself. Grab a token... wait no, it's a Metrocard now, or just tap your phone, and let's see if your test of subway knowledge earns you a express ticket to bragging rights on BrainFall!

      Are You Even a New Yorker?

      So, you think you've got what it takes to call yourself a tried-and-true New Yorker? Well, it's time to put that city savvy to the test. Jump into our subway quiz and prove that you're the king or queen of the underground!

      Manhattan Mastery: Do You Know the Stops?

      Navigating the concrete jungle's arteries is a true New Yorker's bread and butter. Let's start with Manhattan, where the train lines are as tangled as your last earbud fiasco. Can you match the subway stops with their respective trains, or will you get lost faster than a tourist in Times Square?

      • A/C/E Line

        • ___: Where the bright lights of Broadway meet the hustle of commuting feet.
        • ___: Closest to the green oasis of Central Park, you know, that huge patch of grass and trees where New Yorkers go to forget they're on a cramped island?
      • 1/2/3 Line

        • ___: This stop might share its name with a certain academic institution—did someone say Columbia?
        • ___: Ah, the express train, the local train's more successful sibling—who needs all those extra stops, anyway?

      Beyond Manhattan: The Outer Boroughs Challenge

      Of course, we can't leave out the rest of the crew—Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens are essential slices of the Big Apple. Ready to prove you're not just a city center snob who shudders at the thought of a "long" train ride to the outer boroughs?

      • Bronx:

        • ___: Home to the iconic Yankee Stadium, because what's more New York than baseball and hot dogs?
        • ___: Grand Concourse, baby! Do you know which trains get you to this boulevard of dreams and Art Deco buildings?
      • Brooklyn:

        • ___: If you're hip enough to hang in Williamsburg, you'll know this stop where the view is just as good as the artisanal coffee shops.
        • ___: Does the word Canarsie ring any subway bells for you, or is it just the end of the L line where no Manhattanite dares to tread?
      • Queens:

        • ___: Ah, the Shuttle, that cute little train connecting Times Square to Grand Central—easy peasy!
        • ___: The journey to find our elusive Franklin Av might stump even the most seasoned riders, can you chart a course?

      Flex your metro muscles, hop on board, and let's see if you're cruisin' for a city slicker crown or if you'll be left scratching your head on the platform!
