28th Street is a local station, located at Park Avenue South and 28th Street, with two side platforms and the express tracks in the middle but at a lower level. The fare control is at platform level and does not currently provide for a crossunder or crossover; however, there is a closed crossunder, complete with railings and a blacked out sign indicating its location. The token booth is unusual in that, instead of a standalone structure, it is built into the tile wall. The station's ornamentation includes glass block wall artwork at the main fare control entitled Seven Ways 4 Twenty-Eighth, which was installed during station renovations in 1996. There is also an unusual back-lit station sign name, similar to that at 23rd Street, at the fare control.
