Halsey Street is a skip-stop station on the BMT Jamaica Line of the New York City Subway. It is served at all times by the J train. The Z train bypasses this station when it operates. The railroad north (geographic southeast) exit leads to Halsey Street with a crossunder while the now closed south (northwest) exit leads to Jefferson Avenue.
