The 5 train operates at all times. On weekdays from approximately 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., the 5 operates between [[Eastchester–Dyre Avenue (IRT Dyre Avenue Line)|Dyre Avenue]] in [[Eastchester, Bronx]], and [[Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College (IRT Nostrand Avenue Line)|Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College]] in [[Flatbush, Brooklyn]], making local stops in [[the Bronx]] and express stops in [[Manhattan]] and [[Brooklyn]]. During rush hours in the peak direction, 5 trains operate express in the Bronx between [[East 180th Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|East 180th Street]] and [[Third Avenue–149th Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Third Avenue–149th Street]].{{efn|Trains run express southbound between 6:03 and 8:58 a.m.<ref name="WPREXPS">{{cite web|url=https://transitfeeds.com/p/mta/79/latest/stop/214S/20210819|title=West Farms Sq-E Tremont Av – OpenMobilityData|website=transitfeeds.com|date=August 19, 2021|access-date=August 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210819050553/https://transitfeeds.com/p/mta/79/latest/stop/214S/20210819|archive-date=August 19, 2021}}</ref> and northbound between 4:27 and 8:03 p.m.<ref name="WPREXPN">{{cite web|url=https://transitfeeds.com/p/mta/79/latest/stop/220N/20210819|title=Jackson Av – OpenMobilityData|website=transitfeeds.com|date=August 19, 2021|access-date=August 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210819050836/https://transitfeeds.com/p/mta/79/latest/stop/220N/20210819|archive-date=August 19, 2021}}</ref>}} Limited rush hour service originates and/or terminates at [[Nereid Avenue (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Nereid Avenue]]{{efn|Limited rush hour service to Manhattan and Brooklyn originates at Nereid Avenue during a.m. rush hours; service from Brooklyn and Manhattan terminates at Nereid Avenue during p.m. rush hours.|name=Nereid Avenue terminal}} or [[Gun Hill Road (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Gun Hill Road/White Plains Road]]{{efn|Limited a.m. midday reverse-peak service from Manhattan terminates at Gun Hill Road/White Plains Road in the northbound direction only; these trains make express stops in the Bronx.|name=Gun Hill Road terminal}} in the Bronx instead of Dyre Avenue, as well as either at [[Crown Heights–Utica Avenue (IRT Eastern Parkway Line)|Utica]]{{efn|A small number of rush hour trains also originate and terminate at Crown Heights–Utica Avenue, operating between the Bronx and Brooklyn.|name=Utica Avenue terminal}} or [[New Lots Avenue (IRT New Lots Line)|New Lots Avenues]]{{efn|Limited a.m. rush hour service to Manhattan and the Bronx originates at New Lots Avenue only.|name=New Lots Avenue terminal}} in Brooklyn instead of Flatbush Avenue. The 5 [[short turn]]s at [[Bowling Green (IRT Lexington Avenue Line)|Bowling Green]] in the [[Financial District, Manhattan|Financial District]] of Manhattan on weekends and mid-weekday evenings, and operates as a shuttle between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street during late nights.

Historically, the 5 has run south to [[Crown Heights–Utica Avenue (IRT Eastern Parkway Line)|Crown Heights–Utica Avenue]] or New Lots Avenue. Its northern terminal was originally [[Wakefield–241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Wakefield–241st Street]] or East 180th Street. The section between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street, which was acquired from the defunct [[New York, Westchester and Boston Railway]] and started operating as a shuttle in 1941, was connected to the rest of the subway in 1957 and became part of the 5 in 1965. Since 1983, most trains run only to Bowling Green or Flatbush Avenue, although some rush-hour trains still run to/from Utica or New Lots Avenues. Peak service on White Plains Road was cut from 241st Street to [[Nereid Avenue (IRT White Plains Road Line)|238th Street]]. During many weekends from 2017 to 2019, service ran between 241st Street and Flatbush Avenue, replacing [[2 (New York City Subway service)|2]] service.

=== Early history ===
The section from East 180th Street to Dyre Avenue was once part of the mainline of the [[New York, Westchester and Boston Railway]], a standard gauge electric commuter railroad built by the [[New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad]]. Upon its closure in 1937, the entire property was put up for sale.

On December 21, 1925, the number of Manhattan-bound through trains in the morning rush hour from the White Plains Road Line was doubled with the addition of two more through trips, and service was considerably increased in the evening rush hour toward the Bronx, with through trains running every 11 minutes.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252018%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%25201925%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%25201925%2520-%25209972.pdf%23xml%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FdtSearch%2Fdtisapi6.dll%3Fcmd%3Dgetpdfhits%26u%3Dffffffffe290b6af%26DocId%3D2687688%26Index%3DZ%253a%255cIndex%2520I%252dE%252dV%26HitCount%3D3%26hits%3D10c%2B422%2B423%2B%26SearchForm%3D%252fFulton%255fform%252ehtml%26.pdf&uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252018%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%25201925%2FNew%2520York%2520NY%2520Sun%25201925%2520-%25209972.pdf&xml=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FdtSearch%2Fdtisapi6.dll%3Fcmd%3Dgetpdfhits%26u%3Dffffffffe290b6af%26DocId%3D2687688%26Index%3DZ%253a%255cIndex%2520I%252dE%252dV%26HitCount%3D3%26hits%3D10c%2B422%2B423%2B%26SearchForm%3D%252fFulton%255fform%252ehtml%26.pdf&openFirstHlPage=false|title=I.R.T.

=== 1990s ===
In Spring 1995, rush hour service to 241st Street was cut back to [[Nereid Avenue (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Nereid Avenue]]. 241st Street had insufficient capacity to terminate all 2 and 5 trains during rush hours, requiring some 2 and 5 trips to terminate at Nereid Avenue. To ease passenger confusion regarding which trips terminate where and to provide more reliable service, it was decided to have all 2 trips terminate at 241st Street and have all 5 trains terminate at 238th Street. In addition, the span of 5 peak period Bronx express service to Dyre Avenue was expanded by 45 minutes in each rush hour. These two recommendations were made in response to comments made as part of the Northeast Bronx Comprehensive Study. New York City Transit decided against operating all 5 trains via the Dyre Avenue Line because it would reduce the attractiveness of the White Plains Road Line as it would force passengers using the Lexington Avenue Line to transfer. However, this would have simplified operations.<ref>*{{Cite book |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/45967066674/in/dateposted-public/ |title=NYC Transit Committee Agenda September 1994 |date=September 10, 1994 |publisher=New York City Transit |pages=D.65 |access-date=February 1, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220418085032/https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/45967066674/in/dateposted-public/ |archive-date=April 18, 2022 |url-status=live}}

On December 9, 1999, New York City Transit released a proposal revising 2 and 5 service in the Bronx to eliminate a merge north of the East 180th Street station, increasing capacity and reducing delays, to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Board. Dyre Avenue-bound 5 trains would start running local along the White Plains Road Line, while 2 trains would run express. Nereid Avenue-bound 5 trains would continue to run express in the Bronx. As part of the change, the frequency of service at White Plains Road Line local station would decrease from 12 trains per hour to 7 trains per hour. Market research showed that riders at these stations preferred Lexington Avenue Line service. In addition, riders on the line north of East 180th Street would gain express service. This change would have been revenue neutral.<ref name="1999Swap">* {{Cite book |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/48536398552/in/photostream/ |title=December 1999 NYC Transit Committee Agenda |date=December 9, 1999 |publisher=New York City Transit |page=129 |access-date=March 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200914182934/https://www.flickr.com/photos/127872292@N06/48536398552/in/photostream/ |archive-date=September 14, 2020 |url-status=live |via=Flickr}}

From March 29 to September 3, 2010, rush hour peak direction 5 express service was suspended due to rehabilitation of East 180th Street and signal replacements along the IRT White Plains Road Line. PM northbound express service was suspended again on March 28, 2011, to allow for the second phase of the signal replacement project. This time, service was restored on August 8.

Due to repairs to [[Hurricane Sandy]]-related damage in the Clark Street Tunnel, which carries the [[IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line]] into Brooklyn, the 5 was extended to Flatbush Avenue on weekends between June 17, 2017, and June 23, 2018, running local in Brooklyn. In the Bronx, the 5 ran to [[Wakefield–241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|241st Street]] instead of Dyre Avenue in place of the [[2 (New York City Subway service)|2]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/161212_1000_Transit.pdf|title=Transit & Bus Committee Meeting December 2016|date=December 12, 2016|website=mta.info|publisher=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]|pages=PDF-169 to PDF-175|access-date=December 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210041234/http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/161212_1000_Transit.pdf|archive-date=December 10, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/sandy/sandy_recovery_work.htm|title=Clark St Tunnel Reconstruction Weekend Service Changes|date=June 8, 2017|website=web.mta.info|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608184832/http://web.mta.info/sandy/sandy_recovery_work.htm|archive-date=June 8, 2017|url-status=dead|access-date=May 9, 2018}}</ref>

On November 17, 2019, New York City Transit made adjustments to weekday evening 3, 4, and 5 service in order to accommodate planned subway work. 5 service between Dyre Avenue and Bowling Green was reduced by one hour, from 11&nbsp;p.m. to 10&nbsp;p.m., with Dyre Avenue Shuttle service beginning an hour earlier. This change, which was approved by the MTA Board on June 27, 2019, was expected to save the agency $900,000 annually.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/190624_1030_Transit.pdf|title=Transit and Bus Committee Meeting June 2019|date=June 24, 2019|website=mta.info|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|pages=94–97|access-date=January 12, 2020|archive-date=July 25, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725161749/http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/190624_1030_Transit.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://new.mta.info/document/9446|title=5 Subway Timetable Effective November 17, 2019|date=November 17, 2019|website=mta.info|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|access-date=January 12, 2020|archive-date=November 23, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211123084117/https://new.mta.info/document/9446|url-status=live}}</ref> In addition, on this date, morning rush hour reverse-peak 5 trains that terminated at [[Wakefield–241st Street (IRT White Plains Road Line)|241st Street]] began terminating at [[Gun Hill Road (IRT White Plains Road Line)|Gun Hill Road/White Plains Road]], making express stops north of East 180th Street.
