MTA will investigate G train line

The MTA will review the entire G train line, politicians said today.

State Sens. Daniel Squadron and Martin Dilan said today that the MTA has ordered a full review of the line, to be completed by June.

The senators sent a letter last month asking them to look into the line, similar to previous reviews of the F and the L line.

G train riders have long complained that the trains are spaced too far apart and endure multiple service disruptions.

A Riders Alliance member said that sometimes the platform gets so crowded, “I just decide to walk 20 minutes to the L train.”

“G train riders spoke,” Squadron said. “Now, this Full Line Review will give us real answers to lead to real changes.”

“The G train is often maligned, but it’s vitally important for the residents of North Brooklyn,” added Riders Alliance director John Raskin.
