The '''Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets station''' (shown as "'''Hoyt-Schermerhorn'''" on official [[New York City Subway map|subway maps]]) is an express [[Metro station|station]] of the [[New York City Subway]], serving the [[IND Crosstown Line]] and the [[IND Fulton Street Line]]. Located at the intersection of Hoyt Street and Schermerhorn Street in [[Downtown Brooklyn]], it is served by the [[A (New York City Subway service)|A]] and [[G (New York City Subway service)|G]] trains at all times, as well as the [[C (New York City Subway service)|C]] train except at night.

Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets was developed as an interchange station between the Fulton Street and Crosstown lines of the [[Independent Subway System]] (IND). Construction began around 1929, and it was opened on April 9, 1936. Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets has six tracks and four [[island platforms]], with two platforms and three tracks for each direction of service. The innermost tracks in each direction originally served Crosstown Line trains, while the center tracks were supposed to serve Fulton Street express trains and the outermost tracks were supposed to serve Fulton Street local trains to [[Court Street (IND Fulton Street Line)|Court Street]]. However, Court Street was only served by a [[shuttle train]] from Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets, which stopped running in 1946.

Today, all Fulton Street Line trains use the center tracks in each direction, and all Crosstown Line trains use the innermost tracks, while the outermost tracks and platforms are not used for revenue service. Until 1981, the outer platforms were used by special trains to [[Aqueduct Racetrack]], which stopped on the center tracks in each direction. Today, the abandoned tracks and platforms are only used on special occasions, such as for film shoots or moving trains to the [[New York Transit Museum]] at the former Court Street station. The mezzanine has also been used for film shoots, most famously for the video of Michael Jackson's single "[[Bad (Michael Jackson song)|Bad]]".

===Construction and opening===
Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets was constructed as a junction between the [[IND Fulton Street Line|Fulton Street]] and [[IND Crosstown Line|Crosstown]] lines of the [[Independent Subway System]] (IND), and part of the section of the Fulton Street subway under Schermerhorn Street between Court Street and Bond Street.<ref name="BklynEagle-INDGGTube-Ap1929"/><ref name="NYTimes-IND-ProgressRapid-May1930"/><ref name="BklynEagle-INDFultonGbk-Ap1929">{{cite news|title=New Fulton Street Subway Officially Started as Byrne Turns Earth; Ground is Broken For Subway Line Along Fulton St.; Byrne Turns First Spade of Arlington Pl.

On October 9, 1936, a public hearing was held to discuss the construction of a passageway between the station and the [[Frederick Loeser & Co.|Loeser's Department Store]] on the north side of Livingston Street.<ref>{{cite news|title=Notice of Public Hearing|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/52693238/?terms=%22Loeser%27s%22%2B%22hoyt%2Bschermerhorn%22|access-date=August 28, 2016|work=[[Brooklyn Daily Eagle]]|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=October 6, 1936|page=28}}</ref> In November 1937, the city Board of Transportation approved the construction of a {{convert|250|ft|m|adj=on}} passageway between the station and the department store.<ref name="BklynEagle-INDHoyt-Loessers-Nov1937"/> The passageway opened on December 8, 1938.
