Beginning in ’08, this will no longer be the end of the line for the G train. Photo by alwayslookaround via Flickr.

In case you missed it in our blog wrap yesterday, the MTA is expanding G and L train service, finally responding to recent population growth in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. Next spring, New York City Transit will begin running more L trains, reducing the sardine factor in each car; in 2008, the oft-maligned G will begin running south to five more Brooklyn stops, connecting the ‘Point to the Slope. In the immortal words of Gawker:

“Thank fucking God, is all we have to say. The only tiny downside that we can see is that by the time these plans actually take effect (late 2007– early 2008), we will be too old for one of the neighborhoods and still too poor for the other. Oh well.”

One of our readers lamented yesterday that there’s no V train service to Brooklyn. What other transit corridors do you think are underserved? Does your train really run every four minutes during peak hours?
