Another Summer of Hell for NYC’s G train, as infuriated riders have to scramble to get home

G whiz, it’s another summer of hell on the G-line.

Straphangers on the much maligned subway line have been left stranded yet again as the MTA works on signal systems that were supposedly revamped in extended work last year.

Service along Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenue will be suspended on select nights and weekends for the next month, leaving frustrated commuters wondering how they’ll get home.

“Taking the train back home at night, it’s a pain in the ass, because of all the delays and having to transfer so many times because of the G train,” said Jose C, 18, of Bed-Stuy. 

Jose said it’s taken him an hour and a half to get from Corona back home more than once — a trip that should take 40 minutes. 

“It’s my only way home, so I have no other option other than just standing and waiting,” the young straphanger said. 

The storied G train shut down for six long weeks last summer to update the line’s signals to a “state-of-the-art” system that is projected to cost $368 million, according to an MTA press release.

But that is the same reason the MTA is shutting down service yet again this year, according to the state agency.

“The nearly century-old signals needing replacement on the ​ line have been a frequent source of service disruptions and delays,” the MTA said.

The MTA did not provide further details when asked by The Post.

Straphangers will likely face delays until 2027, when the MTA estimates the signal update will be completed.

This summer, service will cease between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues from 9:45 p.m. to 5 a.m. on at least four separate weeks, and completely shut down for another four weekends.

Most of those stops do not have transfers to other train lines.

Other riders who work late recall waiting on the platform for over 20 minutes before leaving in a fit of frustration. Brooklyn resident Vince P, 31, said he works himself into a rage while waiting for the G train.

“I have very angry thoughts. I think about what the city spends their money on and how they waste it. Yeah, it gets pretty dark,” said Vince, who works in tech and rides the train almost every day. 

For those who remember the summer of delays due to construction last year, the ongoing delays are bewildering.

“I was under the assumption that it was fixed, but I’m dealing with shutdowns,” said Marcus, who works at LaGuardia Airport until around 10 p.m.

“I work late … and sometimes I just want to get home,” Marcus said. 

A few weeks ago, it took the Greenpoint resident over three hours to get home, navigating transfers and shuttles throughout Queens and Brooklyn.  

For straphangers travelling past 9:45 p.m., the MTA has provided free shuttle buses. But for exhausted riders, the shuttle buses hardly feel comparable. 

“For people who get out late, they change the route and you have to transfer or find a shuttle,” said Brooklynite Michael Rivera, 34. 

Rivera said the G could be the worst subway line in the city.

“Delay-wise, yes. Construction-wise? Definitely,” RIver said.

Atdag Zhara, 28, who works in Manhattan supervising construction sites, said there are no trains “at all” when work ends at 11:30.

Despite the long nights travelling home, Zhara is OK to take the shuttle buses, and looks forward to the day the line is running smoothly. 

“You know, this is New York, we gotta deal somehow,” Zhara said.
