New York City Subway station in Queens

The 75th Avenue station (originally 75th Avenue–Puritan Avenue station) is a local station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of 75th Avenue and Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, Queens, it is served by the F train at all times, the E train at all times except weekday rush hours and middays, and the <F> train during rush hours in the reverse peak direction. The station opened on December 31, 1936 as a station along the Independent Subway System's Queens Boulevard Line. The opening of the station brought significant growth to the adjacent community of Forest Hills, transforming it from a quiet residential community to an active population center.

In 1953, the platforms at six Queens Boulevard Line stations, including 75th Avenue, were lengthened to allow eleven car trains. the bid for the project went out in 1951. The lengthened trains began running during rush hour on September 8, 1953. Eleven car trains would only operate on weekdays. The extra car increased the total carrying capacity by 4,000 passengers. The lengthening project cost $400,000 (equivalent to $ in ). The operation of eleven car trains ended in 1958 because of operational difficulties. The signal blocks, especially in Manhattan, were too short to accommodate the longer trains, and the motormen had a very small margin of error to properly platform the train. It was found that operating ten car trains allowed for two additional trains per hour to be scheduled.

This local station has four tracks and two side platforms. The station is between Forest Hills–71st Avenue to the west and Kew Gardens–Union Turnpike to the east. Both platforms have a light Fern green trim line with a black border and "75TH AVE" tile captions in white lettering on a black background beneath them. There are mosaic name tablets reading "75TH AVE." in white sans serif font on a black background with a light Fern green border, and beneath them are directional tile signs in white lettering on a black background pointing to the exits. The tile band is part of a color coded tile system used throughout the IND. The tile colors were designed to facilitate navigation for travelers going away from Lower Manhattan. As such, a different tile color is used at , the next express station to the east. The green tiles used at the 75th Avenue station was also used at the next station to the west, , which is an express station. Emerald green I beam columns run along both platforms at regular intervals, alternating ones having the standard black station name plate with white lettering. The trackside columns have old white "75TH AVE" signs on them in black lettering. The former name of Puritan Avenue was still reflected on platform signage into the 1990s. The I beam piers on the platforms are located every 15 feet (5 m) and support girders above the platforms. The roof girders are also connected to columns in the walls adjoining each platform. The tunnel is covered by a U shaped trough that contains utility pipes and wires. The outer walls of this trough are composed of columns, spaced approximately every 5 feet (2 m) with concrete infill between them. There is a gap between the tunnel wall and the platform wall, which is made of thick brick covered over by a tiled finish. The columns between the tracks are also spaced every 5 feet (2 m), with no infill. All of the mezzanine is still completely open, with the exception of a tiny closed fenced off section at the station's eastern end that is accessed from a single closed staircase on the Manhattan bound platform. However, it is set up in a way that does not allow a free transfer between directions, as the fare control is located in the middle of the mezzanine. The token booth and turnstile banks for either direction are at the center. HEET turnstiles are at either ends near the station's entrances and exits, both of which have two street stairs. The entrance at the west (railroad south) end leads to the northwest corner and southwest corners of Queens Boulevard and 75th Avenue, while the one on the east (railroad north) end leads to southeast corner of Queens Boulevard and 75th Road. Chain link fences separate the sections of the mezzanine within fare control and the section out of fare control. The section of the mezzanine within fare control used to span across the entire space, but a fare free underpass under Queens Boulevard now divides the northbound and southbound parts of the mezzanine, and there is no way to make a free transfer between the two platforms anymore.

There are a pair of diamond crossovers near the western end of this station, located between the local and express tracks in each direction. F trains use these at all times, switching from express to local for the remainder of their route east (railroad north) to its terminal at Jamaica–179th Street station. E trains only use them on weekdays during the evening and on weekends during the day. The stretch of local track between 71st Avenue and 75th Avenue is only used in revenue service during late nights, when E and F trains both run local.

In the 1970s, when the New York City Subway was at an all time low, following the general trend of a decrease in ridership, the number of passengers using the 75th Avenue station decreased by 300,000 passengers. In 2019, the station had 1,059,027 boardings, making it the 351st most used station in the station system. This amounted to an average of 3,549 passengers per weekday.
