30th Avenue (sometimes called 30th Avenue – Grand Avenue) is a local station on the BMT Astoria Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the N train at all times, and by the Q train on weekdays.
The station has wooden canopies with transite and wooden mezzanines. The south end of both side platforms are narrowed due to the additions of windscreens. The exit is near the north end. There are dual fare control areas, giving the initial impression that there are no crossunders, but one is present behind the booth.
