Bedford Nostrand G

Ah the G train, what can one say about it? It’s certainly getting better, there’s no doubt about it, but there is still so much room to improve. Yes the trains are short, and yes the term «regular service» is used loosely, but if you live on the G it holds a special place in your (more often than not late) heart.
To be perfectly honest, I had barely even heard of, let alone ridden the allusive G before I moved into Brooklyn. Most people who don’t live on it aren’t really aware it exists — «whats the G», «are you from Jersey, there’s no G subway». All that said, its a super useful line! I will get you from the E or 7 all the way down to lower Brooklyn without the need to go into Manhattan, not too shabby.
This station is just like any other on the G, worn out and in much need of repair. The ceramic tiles are falling down, and the paint is chipping away, but it somehow adds to the charm of the line. Who wants fancy, shiny, clean (if there was such a thing) subway stations anyway, this is New York City right?
Living on the G gives you a huge sense of Brooklyn pride, and I couldn’t be happier calling this newly adopted and underated subway my own.
