Between Myrtle Avenue and Marcy Avenue, line J runs in the morning without stopping, and in the afternoon without stopping. The Z line operates only during rush hour and does not serve the stations between Myrtle Avenue and Marcy Avenue. On the weekends, only line J runs, which then serves all stations.
