West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av is a station in Bronx of the NYC subway. MTA public data lists 1 elevator/escalator units for this station (0 elevators, 1 escalators). For travelers with wheelchairs, strollers, or heavy luggage, how reliably these units actually operate — as an alternative to stairs — has a big impact on route choice. This guide organizes the recent (2026-07) per-unit availability and outage history, shows how this station compares to others in the same borough, and explains how to use these figures when planning your trip.

Start with the equipment codes registered at West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av

The equipment codes registered at West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av are ES106. Codes starting with EL are elevators, and codes starting with ES are escalators. If this station is a transfer hub where multiple lines meet, equipment can be in different locations per line even under the same station name.

The equipment code alone does not tell you the exact installed location (which entrance, which level). This data is an availability statistic, not a location guide, so confirm the actual location with station layout signage or maps.

The recent one-month average availability is 97.9%

Averaging the 24-hour availability of the 1 units registered at West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av gives about 97.9%. This figure is the share of the month's total hours the equipment worked normally, and it can vary by unit.

The unit with the lowest availability at this station was ES106 (Escalator), with 24-hour availability of 97.9%. If you rely heavily on a specific unit, it is worth keeping this gap in mind and considering an alternate route.

What the monthly outage and entrapment counts mean

Across all equipment at West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av, the total number of outages recorded in the recent month is 7. This count includes both scheduled outages (routine maintenance) and unscheduled outages (breakdowns). Even with the same outage count, a higher share of scheduled outages likely means planned maintenance, while a higher share of unscheduled outages means more unpredictable breakdowns.

In the same period, 0 entrapment incidents were recorded. Entrapment counts are more directly tied to safety than simple outages, so if the count is not zero, it is worth checking the per-unit details.

How does it compare to other stations in Bronx?

The average 24-hour availability across all stations registered in Bronx is about 88.4%. West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av's average availability (97.9%) is about 9.5 percentage points higher than that.

Availability here is above the borough average, but that is only this station's relative position over the past month — it is not a guarantee the same level will continue going forward.

The average monthly outage count per station registered in Bronx is about 11.9. Comparing that to West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av's total outage count (7), you can gauge whether this station's equipment stopped relatively more or less often than others in the borough.

Which do you end up relying on more: elevators or escalators?

West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av has only 1 escalator(s) registered, with no elevators. Wheelchair or stroller users may find it difficult to get through this station using only the registered equipment, so be sure to check alternate access routes with official MTA guidance before visiting.

Even when multiple units are registered, they often connect platforms or entrances in different directions, so one unit being out of service does not guarantee another covers the same route. Even at a station with several units, confirm on site which unit actually connects to your direction of travel.

How to use this statistic when planning your trip

Availability and outage counts reflect a recent one-month trend, not real-time status. A station with high average availability could suddenly break down today, and conversely a station with many outages last month could be working fine right now. Use the figures on this page as a reference for how reliably this station's equipment typically operates.

If you need to travel with a wheelchair, stroller, or heavy luggage, or have a tight transfer window, it is safer to allow more time or check an alternate route in advance for stations with lower average availability or a longer outage history.

Check today's real-time availability separately

This data is public statistics the MTA publishes monthly, and does not include today's real-time outage, inspection, or construction information. If elevator or escalator access is essential, check real-time status on official MTA guidance (mta.info) before you leave, and prioritize station staff guidance and signage once on site.

The figures in this article are reference statistics; the actual equipment location, operating hours, and access route can vary with station structure and operating conditions. Check the source below and the station search page before visiting.
