Explanation
Only nodes and end points are shown.

The line C is a line of New York City Subway and runs from Washington Heights -168 St on the IND Eighth Avenue Line and IND Fulton Street Line and after Euclid Avenue in East New York . It runs parallel to line A along its entire route , but stops at all stations along the route ( local ).

Due to its trunk line under Eighth Avenue , it has the line color blue and is also known as 8 Avenue Local .

It only runs during the day. At night, it is replaced by line A, which then serves all stops along the route.

On this line there are partly subway wagons of the R32 series, which are among the oldest still in operation subway cars in the world. Due to its low comfort and lack of reliability, the C is also known as the most unpopular line in New York.
