Approximately 25-26% of stations have elevators and they break constantly. The MTA app says one thing about elevator status, but reality often differs - use it as a starting point but have backup plans.

Stations that usually work: times square, union square, penn, atlantic terminal brooklyn. Multiple elevators = backup when one fails.

Buses are way more reliable. M14A/D crosstown along 14th St, m5/m6 west side. All accessible, real-time tracking works.

Uber/lyft wheelchair cars exist but book 30+ mins ahead. Yellow cabs legally have to take you but lol good luck.
