Riders Alliance, officials urge more frequent service on `G’
State Senators Daniel Squadron and Martin Dilan and members of the Riders Alliance on Wednesday called on the MTA to increase G train service in light of new ridership data that showed G train service increasing by a higher percentage than any other train in the last year.
G train service grew by 4.2 percent on an average weekday in 2012, according to new ridership data released by the MTA, carrying an average of 2,000 more riders each weekday than in 2011.
According to the MTA, the growth is likely due to new residential development along the G train and increased travel between North Brooklyn and activities in Downtown Brooklyn, including events at the Barclays Center.
