The one difference might be the time between trains which is much longer on the G than the L.

Mock the G but it's the only train that goes directly from Brooklyn to Queens. It connects to the 7, L, and F. It should go further into Queens which would make it even more useful. It's also getting rather crowded these days so they may need to add on the cars they took away many years ago.

It seems like it would be much more useful to a lot of folks if it continued to Roosevelt Ave, as I think it can. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:07 3
- It used to go out to 71st Ave and Kew Gardens. I guess they felt there wasn't enough ridership to keep it going out there. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:14 2
  - I think I read that there was just too much congestion from the E/F/M/R trains that the line could not also handle the G. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:16 1
    - I didn't know that. It went to Queens Plaza for a while when I first got here but they cut it to Court Sq. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:36
