50% Less G Service Coming Our Way
During the Thursday meeting, The MTA is expected to: completely do away with the “W” line, which runs from Queens to Manhattan, and the “Z” line, which runs through Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Also on the chopping block: service will be cut in half on the “G” line, which runs from Queens to Brooklyn; and…
I’ve never heard of the “Z” train.
ah, thanks for actually reading up on it.
I wonder if this will resurrect congestion pricing as a way to support greater subway service.
Ah ha. If true that makes me feel better. Thanks for the info ditto.
ditto–where are you seeing that the cutting in half means a shorter run as opposed to fewer trains?
I see the problem – its not specific in the story.
The Daily News was more precise, its the Queens part of the service (apart from ct. square and 21st st) thats being “cut”.
this is terrible news for brooklyn. Both the M and G are trains that had noticeable increases in ridership over the last 10 years and were thriving as people populated the previously sparse regions of the borough. nyc is taking significant steps backwards with moves like these.
This is a huge bummer for all of us who use the G to go from Ft Greene/Clinton Hill to Cobblehill and Williamsburg (two neighborhoods where friends live). The G has been a great resource for me over the years and I really hope this report is not accurate.
Ouch, I was hoping the M was going to start running from Queens through Manhattan and into southern Brooklyn again.
