Route 7 is one of few routes here that actually has a good option for subway transit. In fact, it has 2! The 6 and Q both service Lexington Ave and 2nd Ave, which this 3rd Ave route sits between. Either of these lines would serve these commuters well. As 3 students who use these lines everyday to commute to our NYC campus, we can verify that the 6 is a good choice for these commuters.
