25% More G Trains & This Week’s Less Exciting Subway Service Changes

We’ve got good news, and we’ve got bad news. Details on what to look out for this week via the MTA:

No F trains at B’way-Lafayette St, 2 Av, Delancey St, East Broadway, and York St
Late nights, 10pm to 5am, Monday to Friday, June 9-13
F trains run via the A in both directions between W 4 St and Jay St-MetroTech. Free shuttle buses operate along two routes: 1. Between B’way-Lafayette St and East Broadway, stopping at 2 Av and Delancey St; 2. Between York St and Jay St-MetroTech.

G trains run every 20 minutes
Late evenings, beginning 11pm, Monday to Thursday, until July 10 (except July 3)
Allow additional travel time.

These schedules will occasionally change, so check MTA.info for the latest updates.

However, here’s something to look forward to! Last year we heard a promise of more G train service, and holy smokes here it is! Starting today, the MTA will increase G train service by 25% during weekday afternoons and rush hour, according to Gothamist.

As previously mentioned, that means your wait time between G trains will drop from 10 minutes to eight minutes on weekdays between 3-9pm.

Gothamist notes that in addition to the extra trains, the 12 stations on the G line that currently don’t have P.A. systems will be getting them, and the MTA is going to make sure the short four-car G trains stop at the same point on the platform, so you don’t have to make a run for it.
