The '''F''' and '''&lt;F&gt; Queens Boulevard Express/Sixth Avenue Local'''<ref name="timetable">{{NYCS const|timetable|F}}</ref> are two [[rapid transit]] services in the [[B Division (New York City Subway)|B Division]] of the [[New York City Subway]]. Their route bullets are colored {{NYCS const|color|orange}}, since they use and are part of the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] in [[Manhattan]].<ref>{{cite web |title=mta.info – Line Colors |url=http://web.mta.info/developers/resources/line_colors.htm |work=mta.info}}</ref>

The F operates at all times between [[Jamaica–179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|179th Street]] in [[Jamaica, Queens]] and [[Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue (IND Culver Line)|Stillwell Avenue]] in [[Coney Island|Coney Island, Brooklyn]], making all stops except for an express section on the [[IND Queens Boulevard Line]] between [[Forest Hills–71st Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Forest Hills–71st Avenue]] and [[Queens Plaza station|Queens Plaza]]. An F shuttle train runs between [[Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station|Lexington Avenue–63rd Street]] in [[Manhattan]] and [[21st Street–Queensbridge station|21st Street–Queensbridge]] in [[Queens]] during the daytime. During overnight hours as well as middays from 10:30&nbsp;a.m. to 11:45&nbsp;a.m. and evenings after 8 p.m., the F makes all stops in Queens as well. Two scheduled rush hour trips in the peak direction run express in Brooklyn between [[Jay Street–MetroTech (New York City Subway)|Jay Street–MetroTech]] and [[Church Avenue (IND Culver Line)|Church Avenue]], making one stop in between at [[Seventh Avenue (IND Culver Line)|Seventh Avenue]]. This express service was introduced in September 2019. In Brooklyn, local service is denoted as (F) in a circle-shaped bullet while express service is denoted as &lt;F&gt; in a diamond-shaped bullet.

From 1968 to 1976, the F ran express along the IND Culver Line in Brooklyn. The F also ran via the [[53rd Street Tunnel]] until moving to the [[63rd Street Tunnel]] in 2001; {{as of|August 2023|lc=y}}, service between Queens and Manhattan has been rerouted to the 53rd Street Tunnel through early 2024. Since the 1990s, there have been calls to restore partial express service from [[Jay Street–MetroTech (IND Culver Line)|Jay Street–MetroTech]] to [[Church Avenue (IND Culver Line)|Church Avenue]], although this has been very controversial. The limited express &lt;F&gt; service between Jay Street and Church Avenue started on September 16, 2019, with two trains in the peak direction during rush hours.<ref name=2019express/> The F has a weekday ridership of 600,000.<ref name="DirectFixation">{{cite web |url=https://www.cb8m.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/63-St-Direct-Fixation-Public-Presentation-June-2023.pdf|title=63 St Line Direct Fixation Track Rehabilitation, F Line, Queens and Manhattan, Revised Plan, Starting August 2023|date=June 2023 |publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] |access-date=July 27, 2023}}</ref>

With the opening of the [[IND Sixth Avenue Line]] on December 15, 1940, F service began, operating as the line's Queens Boulevard service. It operated between [[Parsons Boulevard (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Parsons Boulevard]] and Church Avenue via Queens Boulevard Line, Sixth Avenue Line, and the [[IND Culver Line|Culver Line]]. It ran express in [[Queens]] and local in [[Manhattan]] and [[Brooklyn]]. F trains provided an additional 24/7 express route in Queens, and inaugurated express service on the Queens Boulevard Line east of Continental Avenue. F trains ran on the express tracks between West Fourth Street and Broadway-Lafayette Street to avoid conflict with the D and E south of West Fourth Street.<ref name=":2">{{cite journal|last=Oszustowicz|first=Eric|date=March 2006|title=A History of the R-1 to R-9 Passenger Car Fleet|url=https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2006/2006-03-bulletin.pdf|journal=The Bulletin|publisher=Electric Railroaders' Association|volume=49|issue=3|access-date=January 8, 2019|archive-date=April 27, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210427002748/https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2006/2006-03-bulletin.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> This service pattern was first announced by the [[New York City Board of Transportation]] on December 1, 1939.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1939/12/02/archives/new-subway-to-add-2-needed-services-opening-of-6th-ave-line-to.html|title=New Subway to Add 2 Need Services – Opening of 6th Ave. Line to Provide Uptown Local Route and More Queens Expresses|date=December 2, 1939|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=April 15, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> With the start of F service, [[E (New York City Subway service)|E]] service was cut back from Church Avenue to Broadway–Lafayette Street.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E01E5DF1F3EE33ABC4D52DFB467838B659EDE&legacy=true|title=The New Subway Routes|date=December 15, 1940|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=June 20, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1940/12/05/archives/6th-ave-tube-adds-two-new-services-provides-express-facilities-to.html|title=6th Ave. Tube Adds Two New Services – Provides Express Facilities to Queens and Local Trains to Washington Heights – Subway Opens on Dec. 15 – Changes in Routings on Other Lines to Bring Faster Time and Less Congestion|date=December 5, 1940|work=The New York Times|access-date=April 15, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

In 1953, the platforms were lengthened to {{convert|660|feet|meters|abbr=}} at [[75th Avenue (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|75th Avenue]] and [[Sutphin Boulevard (IND Queens Boulevard Line)|Sutphin Boulevard]] so that F trains could run eleven-car trains. The E and F began running eleven-car trains during rush hours on September 8, 1953. The extra train car increased the total carrying capacity by 4,000 passengers.

The 1988 changes angered some riders because they resulted in the loss of direct Queens Boulevard Express service at local stations east of 71st Avenue—namely the 169th Street, Sutphin Boulevard, Van Wyck Boulevard and 75th Avenue stations. Local elected officials pressured the MTA to eliminate all-local service at these stations.<ref name=":5">{{Cite web|url=http://www.laguardiawagnerarchive.lagcc.cuny.edu/pages/FileBrowser.aspx?LinkToFile=FILES_DOC/QUEENS_FILES/03.012.0231.030137.6.PDF|title=Service Change Monitoring Report Six Month Evaluation of F/R Queens Boulevard Line Route Restructure|date=April 1993|website=www.laguardiawagnerarchive.lagcc.cuny.edu|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|access-date=December 28, 2018}}</ref> On September 30, 1990, the R was cut back to 71st–Continental Avenue outside of rush hours.

On October 29, 1989, the [[IND 63rd Street Line]] opened. Since Q trains did not run during late nights, a special daily late night F–{{NYCS|Q}} service ran during these hours; in the northbound direction, F trains would operate along its normal route from Coney Island to [[47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center (IND Sixth Avenue Line)|47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center]], then turn into a Q and operate to [[21st Street–Queensbridge (IND 63rd Street Line)|21st Street–Queensbridge]]; in the southbound direction, Q trains would operate from 21st Street to 47th–50th Streets, then turn into an F train and operate along its normal route to Coney Island.<ref>{{cite news |title=The 'Subway to Nowhere' Now Goes Somewhere |first=Donatella |last=Lorch |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/29/nyregion/the-subway-to-nowhere-now-goes-somewhere.html |newspaper=The New York Times |date=October 29, 1989 |access-date=September 26, 2009}}</ref><ref name=":7" /> The special F/Q service was eventually designated as F in April 1993.
