Why do express trains skip stations when all stations were designed for stopping trains?
One purpose of a transportation system is to bring passengers to their destination with minimal delay. Those travelling the furthest on a rail line have to spend the most time travelling. To minimize this inconvenience, express trains skip many stations along a route. At an express stop close to a passengers destination, the traveler disembarks, waits for the next local (non-express) train, and completes his journey. Express trains are not only a great convenience to many passengers. It is more efficient. They consume less energy, saving money. Making less stops means reducing the number of time a train must brake to stop, wait for people to embark and disembark, and start up again to travelling speed from a stopped position.

What is the average distance between New York City subway stations?
It varies so it is difficult to say there is as average. On local trains some stations are only 4 to 6 blocks away from each other, others are 9 to 11 blocks away away from each other. In the southern part of Queens on the A line the distance between the Howard Beach station and the Broad Channel station is close to a mile. On express trains the distance can be a mile or more between stations (the local trains take care of the stations inbetween). Example: on the Lexington Av line there is an express station at 125th St, 86th St and 59th St. Each is more than 20 blocks (1 mile) between. However, the next express station is 42nd St-Grand Central which is only 17 blocks from the 59th St express station (but only 9 blocks from the 51st St local station).
