The 5 Lexington Avenue Express is a rapid transit service in the A Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored apple green since it uses the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan. The 5 operates between Dyre Avenue in Eastchester, Bronx and Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College in Flatbush, Brooklyn, making all stops in the Bronx and running express elsewhere on weekdays except evenings and weekends. It also runs express in the Bronx between East 180th Street and Third Avenue–149th Street in the peak direction during rush hours, with alternated trains originating and terminating at Nereid Avenue in Wakefield, Bronx. The 5 short turns at Bowling Green in Financial District, Manhattan on evenings and weekends, and at East 180th Street during nights. Limited rush hour service also operates between either Dyre or Nereid Avenues and either Utica or New Lots Avenues in Brooklyn due to capacity issues at Flatbush Avenue.
