The MTA has launched a $368 million signal upgrade on the G line, impacting Brooklyn commuters significantly. This modernization involves replacing the outdated signal system, some components dating back to the 1930s, with Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) technology to enhance service reliability and speed. The project will include the introduction of new open-gangway trains, expected to be completed by 2027. Service disruptions include no G train between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues on most weeknights and weekends through mid-August, with shuttle buses provided during changes to service.
"The MTA has officially begun a major signal modernization project on the G line, with Brooklyn commuters feeling the brunt of the impact this summer."
"The $368 million project will replace the line's aging signal system, some of which dates back to the 1930s, with modern Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC), aimed at making service faster and more reliable."
"Starting this week, there will be no G train service between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues on most weeknights and weekends through mid-August."
"Riders are already expressing frustration. 'It's going to affect me a lot. I travel this way every day,' said one commuter."
