Third Avenue–149th Street station

Third Avenue–149th Street is a station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway. It is located at Third Avenue and East 149th Street in the Hub in the South Bronx adjacent to Mott Haven and Melrose. Served by the 2 train at all times and the 5 train at all times except nights, the station is the second-busiest in the Bronx , 52nd overall, with over 7 million passengers as of 2017.
The station opened on July 10, 1905, along with the 149th Street–Grand Concourse station and the connection with the IRT Lenox Avenue Line in Manhattan. Free transfers were provided between the subway and the existing 149th Street elevated station of the IRT Third Avenue Line, which opened in 1887. The convergence of the two rapid transit lines, the surface trolley lines along Third Avenue and 149th Street, and the ensuing commercial development led to the coining of the name "the Hub" for the intersection in the early 20th century.
