Fulton Street is a station on the IND Crosstown Line of the New York City Subway, located on Lafayette Avenue between South Portland Avenue and Fulton Street in Brooklyn. It is served by the G train at all times.
This underground station, opened on July 1, 1937, has two tracks and two side platforms. Both platforms have a lime green trim line on a darker green border and name tablets reading "FULTON ST" in white sans serif font on a dark green background and lime green border. Small black "FULTON" signs in white lettering run along the trim line at regular intervals and directional signs in the same style are below the name tablets. Blue i-beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals with alternating ones having the standard black station name plate in white lettering.
This station has a full length mezzanine above the platforms and tracks. However, most of it has been converted to employee-use only and the staircases leading up to it from the platforms are sealed off. At the extreme north (geographical east) end of the station, a single staircase from each platform goes up to a single full height turnstile before a staircase goes up to either western corners of South Portland and Lafayette Avenues, the northwest one for the Queens-bound platform and the southwest one for the Church Avenue-bound platform.
The station's full-time fare control area is at the extreme south (geographical west) end of the Church Avenue-bound platform. A bank of turnstiles at platform level leads to a token booth and one staircase going up to the northeast corner of Lafayette Avenue and Fulton Street. A crossunder here connects to the Queens-bound platform.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music is one block west of the station and Brooklyn Technical High School is across the street from the Fulton Street entrance.
The station is very close to Lafayette Avenue on the IND Fulton Street Line. Riders on Manhattan-bound A and C trains can catch a glimpse of this station's platforms through the right-side windows a few seconds after leaving Lafayette Avenue. There is a track-qualified employee-only connection between the two stations.
