Tremont is a station located in the South Bronx that has definitely scene better days. The station has very little service by trains that actually stop with service roughly every 2 hours. Their are lots of trains though that bypass the station. Every train on the Harlem and New Haven Line has to. The station itself has two narrow side platforms, each with a single bench, and Recycling Center, there are no canopies on the platform. The station's single TWM is located at Tremont Avenue as well as a pay phone in a small shelter but the platforms are reached by walking down Park Avenue (each direction of the street is on either sides of the open-cut), to the station entrances which are one block away at 176 Street, this street has no overpass over the tracks. The entrances both consist wooden staircases of 6 steps that have tiny canopies. The station at one time had entrances directly from Tremont Avenue; the MTA's website still says it does.
