Try watching the train leave in your face almost every day because it is too short, try watching one train skip your crowded station at least three times a week after waiting over 10 minutes for the train during the rush, or try walking through one too damn long corridor with a walkalator that barely works just to get to a Manhattan-bound train.


Unfortunately, that's the breaks of living along a lower use line. It's lower use because it doesn't go to Manhattan.
And I know all about 10 minute headways, and lived through it. I was an M rider for many years, and the only ones crapped on more than G riders is M riders, so I don't need to hear a pity party.

Sure "Forest Hills" isn't the top destination neither, but if the service goes there, and provides a unique service that people utilize, why cut service from there?

Because the V service is more used and needed. Unfortunately the vast majority of G riders have to transfer anyway. That's just the way it was built. it's no different than the M not going to 6th Ave after Bway Lafayette, and even THAT would be used WAYYYYY more than the G between Queens Blvd and the Crosstown. Just because the G connection is there doesn't mean it needs to be used.
