I took the G 4 miles. It took 47 minutes. I am not exaggerating those numbers for comedic effect.


I've had relationships fall apart because of the four mile G problem. To round it up, Court Square to the Park Slope areas is easily an hour when waiting for trains to arrive. Two hours round trip is why I left the Bay Area transit wasteland for cripessake.


You moved across the country for better transit and you chose Queens?


Honest reply: at that time, I lived two houses down from the Court Square E/M/G/7 station and 0.3 miles away from an N/Q stop (and another 0.2 miles away from an E/M/R), so everything was pretty much right there.


Have you considered switching boroughs?


Suggestions?


Where do you generally want to go? Where are you seeing your ladies? Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc.


Checking in to say that I rode the G once from park slope to Williamsburg for a "quick dinner." The ride took over an hour each way. That's when I decided to never ride it again.
