Jay Street – MetroTech is an underground station complex on the IND Fulton Street, IND Culver, and BMT Fourth Avenue Lines of the New York City Subway. Located at Willoughby Street between Jay and Lawrence Streets in Downtown Brooklyn, it is served (on the respective platforms) by the: * A and F trains at all times * C and R trains at all times except late nights * N train during late nights only The complex consists of two distinct, perpendicular stations, formerly known as Jay Street – Borough Hall and Lawrence Street – MetroTech. Despite being nearly adjacent to each other, the stations remained separate for 77 years before the Metropolitan Transportation Authority constructed a transfer passageway as part of its 2005–2009 Capital Program. The work also brought the stations into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and cosmetically improved the upper mezzanine. With the opening of the transfer on December 10, 2010, the complex was given its present name. == IND platforms == Jay Street – MetroTech on the IND Fulton Street and Culver Lines has four tracks with two island platforms. Fulton Street trains use the center "express" tracks, while Culver Line trains use the outer "local" tracks. Although current service patterns route all IND Eighth Avenue Line trains to the Fulton Street Line and all IND Sixth Avenue Line trains to the Culver Line, diamond crossovers north of the station permit Eighth Avenue–Culver or Sixth Avenue–Fulton Street service; these switches are only used during service disruptions. The station has blue columns on the Manhattan-bound platform and white tile columns on the Brooklyn-bound one. Before renovations, the trimline on the platform walls was two-tone Cobalt Blue with “JAY” tiled in white lettering on a black background underneath. After the renovations, the blue trim-line was widened and a double border of Heather Blue and black was added. The new blue tile in the centre of the trim-line is also somewhat darker than the original, the new color being shown as "Midnight Blue". Each platform has six staircases and one elevator leading up to the full-length mezzanine. The full-time entrance is at the center and has a turnstile bank, token booth, and a single street stair leading to the northeast corner of Willoughby and Jay Streets, while a set of staircases and escalators and one elevator lead to the northwest corner underneath the former headquarters of the Independent Subway System. The other two entrances/exits are unstaffed. The one at the north end has a weekday-only turnstile bank and token booth, full height turnstiles, and a wide staircase to MetroTech Center and set of stairs and escalators to New York City Transit Headquarters at 370 Jay Street. The entrance/exit at the south end has only full height turnstiles and two staircases leading to either side of Jay and Fulton Streets. The southern portion of the mezzanine has an artwork installed in 2009 called ''Departures and Arrivals'' by Ben Snead. It consists of glass mosaic depicting animals including starlings, sparrows, lion fish, parrots, tiger beetles, and koi fish. Until 1969, a free transfer was available to/from the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line at Bridge–Jay Streets and also issued at stations from Sumner Avenue on south. When the Myrtle Avenue Line south of Myrtle Avenue closed, the transfer was issued to the B54 bus, which ran along the former route. Today, the MetroCard provides free transfer between bus and subway throughout the system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jay Street – MetroTech (New York City Subway)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
