This is the best way to modernize the line as quickly as possible. Give the workers uninterrupted access to the tracks to get this done. People might not like it but there’s no gain without some pain.

Agreed. It’s much more efficient to do a full closure than piecemeal work for several weekends.

If this means the G will run as well as the L I'm fucking down for this. Bring it.

It’s much better to do a full shutdown for weeks at a time rather than only doing weekend shutdowns. It’s the fastest way to get these projects done and it also saves a lot of money. There’s no gain without some pain.

@stevenroshni1228 Ай бұрын

The G would have to buy and run more trains and the F go express in Brooklyn all day, in order to match the L train

@CLBT7437 Ай бұрын

That's not going to happen, and here's why: 1) Not enough train crews or ridership. 2) The G interlines with the F, which receives priority since it's much busier.

@Gueli844 Ай бұрын

Although I don't live near the G line, and it would be inconvinient for many people this Summer, this is honestly a way better option than to have weekend suspension for 2 years. Great job MTA!

@@Gueli844 I haven’t taken the G line in five years but if the regular riders want the benefits of a high performing line, this is the best way to bring it to them as quickly as possible. Giving the construction crews uninterrupted access to the tracks is going to get this done much faster rather than doing only weekend shutdowns that drag on for years and years.

@@Gueli844 The MTA expects the G line CBTC project to be completed by 2027. I don’t know if why they didn’t do a longer shutdown to get it all done in one fell swoop. I don’t think six weeks is long enough to install the system from one end of the line to the other.

@anonymous3738 Ай бұрын

The R211 is expected to expand the fleet. Once that’s done, G trains could become full-length. As for sending G trains to Forest Hills, not all of them have to go there. Instead, some of them can short-turn at 21st St using the pocket track which currently acts as a crossover for Court Sq (one stop north) which currently acts as the terminus. Also, local trains on the QBL don’t have to terminate at Forest Hills. One local service can go to Jamaica Center (due to the branch splitting after Briarwood which is a local station) and the others can go to 179th St. As for the express services, maybe one can go to 179th St and the other can short-turn at Forest Hills.

@DeStylez01 Ай бұрын

@MTA @Hugo If you really want to improve the G train? Add more cars, from 4-5 cars to 8 cars on the G, extend the G to Forrest Hills or at least Queens Plaza. Repair, renovate and reopen the Bergen St. station lower level for the F train to use as an express (skipping 4 stops, from Bergen to 7th Ave) and the G as a local on the upper level. That way the F & G are not sharing the same trackway, cutting down commute time on the F and cutting the wait time between G trains. #MTA #GTrains #ImprovetheG

I'm not surprised, I've been taking the G service almost every day for the past 6 years. It has always been messy service sometimes on weekdays, and it gets considerably worse, especially on weekend holidays. Don't try to make it look as if you are doing a service to those of us who use the G line daily. You are not! This specific thing you spoke about has already been happening with Shuttle busses for at least 2.5 - 3 years now. It's really suck that the MTA has been making a mockery of citizens tax dollars and still they would comes on here with more lies to it looks like they are helping.
