Which New York City Subway service runs to Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue from both Manhattan and Queens?

The story behind the answer

The F train runs to Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue from Manhattan and Queens.

The F is a New York City Subway service operating through Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. In Queens it uses the IND Queens Boulevard Line; in Manhattan it runs along the IND Sixth Avenue Line; and in Brooklyn it follows the IND Culver Line to Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue. This makes it one of the system’s important cross-borough routes.

Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue is the southern terminal for several subway services and is located beside the Coney Island amusement district. The F reaches the terminal through Brooklyn rather than using the BMT Sea Beach Line, which carries other services to the same area.

A common mix-up is to treat the F as a direct train from every Queens station to Coney Island. Service patterns can vary by time and construction, but the F’s regular route identity is the Queens Boulevard–Sixth Avenue–Culver corridor.
