Driggs Avenue was a station on the demolished section of the BMT Jamaica Line. It had three tracks and two side platforms. It was opened on June 25, 1888, and closed due in part to the mainline BMT Jamaica Line providing direct service to Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge after 1908.^[1] The next stop to the north was Marcy Avenue. The next stop to the south was Broadway Ferry, which replaced Driggs Avenue as the terminus of the line on July 14, 1888.
