169 Street is the second to last stop on the F train as it continues out to it's terminal at Jamaica-179 Street. The station is a typical local stop on the Queens Blvd Line. There are two side platfroms and a full length mezzanine, that is still basically intact (unlike many IND Station mezzanines that have had there mezzanines largely converted from public use to other non public MTA employees only usees) except for it getting narrower towards it middle between the two exits (each still has turnstiles) some rooms have been carved out of the mezzanine over the Manhattan-bound platform. So there are many more staircases down to the 179 St-bound platform than the Manhattan-bound one. All the station columns have been painted in the lime green color that doesn't really match the orange trim along the platforms with a black border or the white lettering on black with an orange border that is the tiling of the name tablets.

(169f9) A sign on the mezzanine pointing to the two exits at 169 Street and 168 Street that includes all the connecting bus lines that stop at the station. This sign is a bit out of date because all of the Long Island Bus 'N' bus lines have had their terminals pushed back farther east to 179th Street instead of running parrel to the subway for a station stop.Photo by Jeremiah Cox, 2 June, 2008(169f10) Another view down the full station mezzanine at 169 Street, for have of it non-public rooms have been built over some of the staircases on the Manhattan-bound platform closing them.Photo by Jeremiah Cox, 2 June, 2008
