Does the subway go into Queens?

Why is there no connection between Brooklyn and Queens?
So all subway routes lead there. If this is true, and it is, then how did Queens residents once travel so easily to Brooklyn? One word can explain it: trolleys. The demise of the trolleys in the late 1930s and '40s seems to be largely responsible for disconnecting the two sister boroughs.
