Probably because it is the only line that does not go into Manhattan!

I think you're delusional.

Bloomberg put all of his employees on 12 hour shifts.

Shut down all public transport (to keep the public off avoiding danger).

Has police administrating fuel ups and lines at gas stations to avoid very dangerous situations.

Was on tv every hour leading up to the storm for days before.

Not much more a mayor can do.

There must be something wrong with the G train. It would have been the obvious way to get people into the Manhattan from Brooklyn via Queens yesterday. They would have used it if they could have.

Probably. Funny thing is, they wouldn't need all of these emergency Brooklyn shuttle buses if they got the G running.

From a comment on an article in the Observer:

"I remember talking to conductors and MTA workers in 2011 when they were doing the whole single track shuttle thing at Hoyt-Schermerhorn regarding why they kept having to shut down the G at night.

What they told me then is that the pumps on the G line are among the oldest and least maintained in the system and that they were in dire need of replacement. What they were GETTING at the time was just maintenance, not replacement. That the G is proving difficult to get running again isn't a huge surprise to me."

I'm sure something is wrong with it, something was always wrong with it. They only slapped tape on the problems and now I'm sure things are beyond simple repair down there. What's annoying is that they've only JUST NOW started to even think about fixing the G train, we didn't have any updates on it until yesterday. Clearly, the G train is not a priority to them.
