6 (New York City Subway service)

The 6 Lexington Avenue/Pelham Local and <6> Lexington Avenue Local/Pelham Express are two rapid transit services in the A Division of the New York City Subway. Their route emblems, or "bullets", are colored since they use the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan. Local service is denoted by a (6) in a circular bullet, and express service is denoted by a <6> in a diamond-shaped bullet. 6 trains normally operate local entirely between Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx and Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall in Lower Manhattan. During rush hours and middays in the peak direction, <6> Bronx express trains replace 6 local ones north of Parkchester, and run express between that station and Third Avenue – 138th Street. During this time, 6 Bronx local trains short turn at Parkchester. Weekdays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., some Manhattan-bound <6> trains run local from Parkchester to Hunts Point Avenue while some Parkchester-bound 6 trains run express in that section.
