Good news, G line riders: cell service is soon to come, per MTA
"As for the G, the recent signal upgrades and service shutdowns weren't just annoying—they laid the groundwork for a more connected ride."
"Through a public-private partnership, Boldyn is footing the $600 million infrastructure bill and will recoup its investment by keeping any revenue from the wireless network it builds."
"This latest rollout will also include the 4 and 5 lines between Bowling Green in Manhattan and Borough Hall in Brooklyn and, eventually, future coverage on the A and C lines."
"Riders on the northern stretch of the G, from Court Square to Hoyt-Schermerhorn, can expect 5G cell service as early as this fall."
The MTA is set to enhance connectivity on the G train line with the introduction of 5G cell service starting this fall. This is part of a broader initiative aimed at bringing cell coverage to the entire subway system. The work is being executed by Boldyn Networks, which will finance the $600 million infrastructure project through a public-private partnership. The project promises over $1 billion in benefits over ten years, with additional lines slated for future connectivity enhancements before completion in 2032.
