Knickerbocker Avenue is a station on the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Myrtle and Knickerbocker Avenues in Bushwick, Brooklyn, it is served by the M train at all times.
This elevated station, opened on December 19, 1889, has two side platforms and two tracks with space for a third track that was removed in 1969 when the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line west of the Myrtle Avenue station was demolished. Both platforms have steel canopies along their entire lengths except for small sections at their extreme north ends. The southern half of both platforms has grey windscreens while the northern half has waist-high steel fences. The station names are in the standard black plates with white lettering.
This station has one elevated station house beneath the platforms and tracks. One staircase from the northern end of each platform goes down to a waiting area/crossover. A turnstile bank provides entrance/exit from the system. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and two staircases going down to either side of Myrtle Avenue between Knickerbocker and Greene Avenues. The station formerly had another station house at the south end.
