5 (New York City Subway service)

For the former Template:BMT service, see BMT 5.

Template:NYCS logo Template:NYCS logo The 5 Lexington Avenue Express is a service of the New York City Subway. It is colored green, since it uses the Lexington Avenue Line through midtown. Trains of the Template:NYCS 5 service run all the time, though they are majorly cut back during late nights. The usual pattern is express through Manhattan and local elsewhere. The service only enters Brooklyn during rush hours; standard rush-hour service operates express to Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College and some special trips run to Utica Avenue or New Lots Avenue. During rush hours, trains run express in the Bronx in the peak direction; about half the trains in the peak direction run to Nereid Avenue-238th Street (those trips were signed with a diamond until the end of May 2005 [1] (http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=91136)). During late nights, the service is cut back to its northernmost section in the Bronx, north of East 180th Street; service over the rest of the route is provided by the Template:NYCS 2 and Template:NYCS 4.

When the reconstruction of the South Ferry terminal starts, Template:NYCS 5 trains will run to either Brooklyn College-Flatbush Avenue, or New Lots Avenue 7 days a week from 5AM to possibly 1AM.

Much of the 5's car fleet was made up of Redbird cars built in the mid 1950s and very early 1960s; these cars were retired by 2002.
