What does the G train have to do to get some love from the MTA?
A burgeoning financial crisis will prevent the Metropolitan Transportation Authority from delivering on most of a series of promised service expansions — but a more modest set of changes aimed at easing subway crowding is still in the works, officials said on Wednesday.
...One line that had been scheduled for more service in the original proposal last December but was not included in this round of improvements was the G. Riders on the G often complain of long waits between trains. Officials said the G did not exceed the loading guidelines.

Great. Just great. I must say, I haven't had any issues during the week taking the combo G to the A/C route into the city. The weekend, however, is another thing entirely. It's a complete crap-shoot. Complete crap. Shoot.
