"BROOKLYN, NY - Brooklyn straphangers, heads up: G train weekend service changes loom for 2026 signal upgrades that could disrupt your commute. Service will end between Bedford-Nostrand Aves. and Church Ave. on select weekends in 2026, from 9:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, the MTA announced. The Crosstown Line's original signals, installed over 90 years ago, are well past their useful life, causing frequent delays for 160,000 daily passengers, NYC Transit says."
"Crews will install a modern communications-based train control (CBTC) system for smoother, more reliable rides. Alternatives during outages include free B93 shuttle buses from Bedford-Nostrand Aves. to Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sts., connecting to Jay St.-MetroTech, plus southbound F trains covering Bergen St. to Church Ave. Exact dates aren't finalized, so officials urge Brooklyn residents to check the MTA app, sign up for MyMTA alerts, or visit mta.info for updates."
