List of New York City Subway stations in Manhattan
The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system that serves four of the five boroughs of New York City in the U.S. state of New York: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Operated by the New York City Transit Authority under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York, the New York City Subway is the busiest rapid transit system in the United States and the fourth busiest in the world, with 5.225 million daily riders. The system's 472 stations qualifies it to have the largest number of rapid transit stations in the world.
Three rapid transit companies merged in 1940 to create the present New York City Subway system: the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND). All three former systems are present in Manhattan.

Although many east-west numbered streets in Manhattan, as well as Houston Street, are prefixed with either "East" or "West," most subway stations are named without the prefix, i.e. 33rd Street instead of East 33rd Street. The exception is West Fourth Street – Washington Square. The IND had proposed an extension of the Sixth Avenue Line from Second Avenue into Brooklyn. This line would have had a station stop at South Fourth Street in Brooklyn; the station shell was built at the Broadway IND Crosstown Line station and is now sealed up. Thus, West Fourth Street was named to eliminate this confusion should it arose.[1]
Lines and services
There are 148 New York City Subway stations in Manhattan, per the official count of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority; of these, 32 are express-local stations.[^ 1][^ 2] One station, Cortlandt Street on the IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line, is closed, and is included in the station counts. If the 18 station complexes are counted as one station each, the number of stations is 119. In the table below, lines with colors next to them indicate trunk lines, which determine the colors that are used for services' route bullets and diamonds. The opening date refers to the opening of the first section of track for the line. In the "division" column, the current division is followed by the original division in parentheses.

Notes
- ^ a b c The Canal Street BMT Broadway Line stations and the Chambers Street – World Trade Center express and local stations are not included in the counts of express-local stations because the MTA classifies each set of stations as separate stations.
- ^ This number includes the bi-level West Fourth Street – Washington Square and 145th Street / St. Nicholas Avenue stations, both levels of which have express-local platforms.
- ^ Although the BMT 63rd Street Line is not currently in revenue service, regular service had operated on the line between 1998 and 1999. The line will connect with the Second Avenue Subway once it opens.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the 42nd Street – Bryant Park / Fifth Avenue station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b c The 3 platform sets of the 14th Street / Sixth Avenue station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the 14th Street – Eighth Avenue station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b c The 3 platform sets of the 14th Street – Union Square station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the 34th Street – Herald Square station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b In both of the stations named "34th Street – Penn Station," the single inner island platform for express trains is separated from the two outer side platforms for local trains. Transfers between local and express trains can be done by walking through a crossunder, but it is more convenient to do so at other adjacent stations. The two sets of stations do not have a free connection with each other and do not form a station complex.
- ^ a b c d e The 5 platform sets of the Times Square – 42nd Street / Port Authority Bus Terminal station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ There is no free transfer between trains traveling in the opposite direction.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the Lexington Avenue / 51st – 53rd Streets station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the Lexington Avenue / 59th Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b c An out-of-system connection between Lexington Avenue – 63rd Street and the Lexington Avenue / 59th Street station complex can be made with a MetroCard. As the transfer requires leaving and reentering fare control, the Lexington Avenue – 63rd Street station is not officially included as part of a station complex.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the 59th Street – Columbus Circle station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the 168th Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the Bleecker Street / Broadway – Lafayette Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall / Chambers Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b c d The 4 platform sets of the Canal Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The BMT Broadway Line at Canal Street splits into the Main Line along Broadway and the Manhattan Bridge Line along Canal Street, creating two sets of platforms. The latter station opened earlier and was originally named "Broadway." Therefore, the MTA defines the platforms as two separate stations.
- ^ a b c The 3 platform sets of the Chambers Street – World Trade Center / Park Place station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ The Cortlandt Street (IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line) station is closed due to its location in the middle of the World Trade Center site. The MTA includes this station within its station enumeration.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the Delancey Street / Essex Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b c d The 4 platform sets of the Fulton Street / Broadway – Nassau Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards. The Fulton Center is being constructed as part of a reorganization of this complex.
- ^ a b c The 3 platform sets of the Grand Central – 42nd Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
- ^ a b The 2 platform sets of the South Ferry – Whitehall Street station complex counts as one station when compared to international standards.
