4 (New York City Subway service)
The 4 Lexington Avenue Express is a rapid transit service in the A Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored forest green since it uses the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan.
The 4 operates 24 hours daily, although service patterns vary based on the time of day. Daytime service operates between Woodlawn in the Bronx and Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, making all stops in Bronx and express stops in Manhattan and in Brooklyn; limited rush hour service, as well as overnight service, is extended beyond Utica Avenue and originates and terminates at New Lots Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn. During rush hours in the peak direction, the 4 skips 138th Street–Grand Concourse. Overnight service makes all stops along the full route, but skips Hoyt Street in both directions. For up to an hour after evening events that are held at Yankee Stadium, a special downtown-only express service runs between 161st Street–Yankee Stadium and Bowling Green.
Until 1983, rush hour 4 trains originated and terminated at Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College in Brooklyn.
