MTA March Madness: Tell Us Which Subway Train Is NYC's Worst

NEW YORK CITY — Hundreds of Patch readers voted and the results are in: The worst subway line in New York City is the A/C/E line.

The A/C/E line trounced the 4/5/6 line last week, claiming two-thirds of the votes in our third round of our March Madness bracket-style competition to name the worst train in New York.

While 4/5/6 riders fought valiantly for the right to claim the worst subway ride — "I don't deserve to be a FREAKING SARDINE, " one straphanger noted — ultimately hundreds of A/C/E riders united and claimed victory with tales of feces-smeared seats and performers who often offer "the opportunity to be kicked in the face."

"I had a guy yell at me for talking to my wife seated next to me," wrote one reader. "The whole thing was ridiculous."

"The 'A/C/E' just has a hint of impending death that others don't," added another. "No one does it like the "A/C/E."

Now it's time for the final round of our March Madness series when we'll find out which train is the worst train on the worst line in all the five boroughs.

Please vote on the train with the most hiccups, hang-ups and funky smells and tell us why it should reign supreme:
