Nothing Beat the East Side lines (4/5/6)......Those lines never have any down time except maybe the late night....But from 5am to 12mid those lines are crush loaded.
The E is another one....MY GOD, I'm glad I dont need to go out to Forest Hills anymore to my stylist....The E until recently used to have the Oldest Junkiest Trains with NO A/C in the SUMMER absolutely miserable commute! Now the E has the computer trains wonder how the ride is now???

When I used to take the R into Manhattan from Grand avenue (my old commute), I would see the E passing on the express track and it would be really crowded. More crowded than when I take the 4 to the Bronx now.

The ride might be more pleasant...but the trains certainly aren't any less crowded.
The 4, 5, 6 are busy, but you can almost always get on if you squish. The L, however, can be impossible (especially if you get on at First Ave. and want to go west).
So is the 7 actually busy during morning rush hour? I'm thinking about moving to Queens and I didn't really factor that in.
The 7 line is busy twenty-four hours a day. Literally! If wherever you're moving in Queens is closer to any other lines (E, F, R, V along Queens Boulevard...N, W in Astoria...A along Liberty Avenue...J on Jamaica Avenue) they'll be less crowded than the 7 train.
