Reviews of the G train shuttle: Complaints, accolades, transitions, issues, humor
Assemblymember Joseph R. Lentol (D-North Brooklyn) met Wednesday with representatives from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Commanding Officer Captain James Ryan of the NYPD’s 94th Precinct to discuss solutions for relieving congestion of G train shuttle buses that have blocked traffic along Lorimer Street.
While the G train closure from Nassau Avenue to Court Square remains in effect, the shuttle buses being used to supplement service have used the corridor of Lorimer Street between Driggs and Nassau avenues as a staging and idling area, forcing buses to double park because of the high number of them in the area.
“As a result of buses double parking, drivers have been forced to drive in the wrong lane to pass,” Lentol said. “We received calls from constituents regarding the dangerous nature of this situation and I immediately reached out to the MTA to find a solution.”
