MTA hears G train riders’ complaints, will conduct full review of line
There are humorous ditties about it, and expletive-filled rants against it. But however riders feel about the G train –- famously mis-connecting Brooklyn and Queens –- the line has experienced explosive increases in ridership over the past few years.
After months of complaints about overcrowded platforms and service disruptions, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced on Friday that the agency has agreed to undertake a Full Line Review of the train.
The review, requested by state Senators Daniel Squadron and Martin Malavé Dilan with the backing of more than a dozen Brooklyn and Queens representatives, will be completed by the end of June 2013.
