The G Train Now Stops in Park Slope. Great.

For years, Central and South Slope residents have had to rely soly on the F train for subway transportation. Weekend closures, re-routes along the A line and random switches to 'express stops only' have been frequent occurrences that we've had to learn to live with. I didn't think it was possible for a subway line to suck any worse than the F train. But the G train has surpassed it!

The MTA, in their infinite wisdom, has added the G train to the 7th Avenue and 15th St/PPW stops. Not the V train, which would simply have had to continue along the F line as it does throughout Manhattan, but the friggan G train. A line that doesn't even make Manhattan stops, but instead meanders through Brooklyn and Queens. A train with only four or five cars that doesn't even reach half of the platform, yet seems to now run more frequently than the F each morning. Thanks MTA for making absolutely no improvement to the transportation options of Park Slope commuters.
