Group ‘takes it to the streets’ on G train service
The Riders Alliance, a grass-roots advocacy organization for the city’s transit riders, has taken the improvement of the much-criticized G train as one of its main focuses.
To this end, it is sponsoring an online petition on its website. But that isn’t all—the organization this past weekend took it to the streets. Volunteers met in Williamsburg and collection signatures there in person.
The G is one of very few trains in the subway system that doesn’t enter Manhattan. Since the late 2000s, it runs almost entirely in Brooklyn, with only two stops in western Queens.
