Just because the majority doesn't ride it past Queens Plaza doesn't mean not a lot of people ride it. Supposedly the majority of (C) train riders are in Manhattan, yet in Brooklyn, the trains are still crowded, just maybe not as crowded in Manhattan.

Yes, but it's a different situation. The C train has two sets of riders. Those that just ride in Manhattan, and a LARGE amount that take the C to Manhattan from Brooklyn. But many, many people ride through from Brooklyn to Manhattan. In the case of the G train, you had enough people riding it ON Queens Blvd, and a lot of people riding IN Brooklyn, but most of the people that ride it on Queens Blvd, are not the same people that ride it in Brooklyn. Most people that ride it on Queens Blvd just rode it to get to Queens Plaza (or Roosevelt) to get a train to Manhattan. Most people that ride it in Brooklyn just rode it to Queens Plaza to get a train to Manahttan. It's the connection that's not necessarily needed, as the V solves the Queens Blvd problem, and the people from Brooklyn get off to take it to Manhattan anyway 9although, yes it's unfortunate it can't terminate at Queens Plaza).

So, no, it's not a valid comparisan, as the Brooklyn C riders are not like the Brooklyn G riders. The majority of Brooklyn C riders stay on their train and take it through to destinations in Manhattan on the other end of their route. The Majority of Brooklyn G riders GET OFF their G trains to take another train before the train traverses the rest of it's route to the end.

It could be Forest Hills, but the MTA just wants to screw over (G) riders.

Oh please.

So much for the MTA going your way

Unfortunately, thanks to IND design, the G train NEVER goes where the vast majority wants to go, and "Forest Hills" isn't it either.
