At which street is there no rapid transit tunnel of the NYCTA under the East River?

The choice indicating that there is no rapid transit tunnel of the NYCTA under the East River at 34th Street is accurate because this specific street does not have subway tunnels that cross the East River. The rapid transit system does have tunnels that connect Manhattan with other boroughs, but 34th Street is notably absent from these crossings.

In contrast, other streets mentioned, such as 24th Street, 42nd Street, and 52nd Street, correspond with locations where subway lines either exist or have transit tunnels running beneath the East River. The presence of these tunnels serves to facilitate commuter and rapid transit connections between Manhattan and either Brooklyn or Queens, which are served by various subway lines. Therefore, identifying 34th Street as lacking an East River tunnel highlights important geographic and infrastructural distinctions in the NYCTA system.
