Heading downtown, the 4 ran local, at least from 68th, where I got on; heading uptown, it ran express from Brooklyn Bridge to 14th, but then made all local stops. The conductor said that the 5 would provide express service north of 42nd instead. The stopping pattern I just saw on the 4 is different from this given by your post.

The C doesn't separate from the A until after Hoyt-Schermerhorn; what does Jay St have to do with it?
