context_page_description: 42nd Street–Bryant Park/Fifth Avenue is an underground New York City Subway station complex, consisting of stations on the IRT Flushing Line and IND Sixth Avenue Line, formerly without direct connection, now connected by a pedestrian tunnel. Located at 42nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, it is served by the:
  7, D, and F trains at all times
  B and M trains on weekdays
  <7> train on weekdays in the peak direction
  <F> train during rush hours in the peak direction
context_section_description: The Sixth Avenue Line platforms are located one block west of, and above, the Flushing Line platforms; the platforms are connected by a passageway. Free transfers between the two stations were available on Mondays to Fridays from December 18, 1967, until 1968, by providing paper tickets to passengers, who would exit one station and follow the sidewalk in order to enter the other. The tunnel now permits leaving a train in one station and walking underground to one in the other, and takes away the need for transfer tickets. The entire station complex was fully renovated in 1998. There are three elevators to street level – one each located on the southwestern and northwestern corners of Sixth Avenue and 42nd Street, and one on the western side of Sixth Avenue between 39th and 40th Streets – but there are no elevators to either platform level, so the station complex is not fully ADA-accessible.
  In 2010, it was rated the noisiest place in New York City.
  A transfer to the 42nd Street Shuttle at Times Square is proposed as part of the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Program. A new platform for the shuttle, which would be 28 feet (8.5 m) wide and located between Tracks 1 and 4 (the outer tracks of the shuttle tunnel), would replace the existing curved platforms for tracks 1, 3, and 4. The platform would be built along the section of the shuttle that runs under 42nd Street, which is located within a straight tunnel. The whole project will cost $235.41 million. The Times Square shuttle platform will be extended 360 feet (110 m) east to allow for a second point of entry at Sixth Avenue, with a connection to the IND Sixth Avenue Line platforms. A construction contract was awarded in early 2019, with an estimated completion date of March 2022.
