Noah,

1. It's a local (they can change the name from "GG" to "G" but it's still a local...)
2. It goes from nowhere to nowhere.
3. Maybe when they changed it from "GG" to "G" they got some new subway cars - because in my time the GG line had the oldest, most decrepit cars in the BMT system. Some still had wicker seats and big overhead fans when the IND was getting air-conditioned trains on the E and F lines. 

But I suppose all of this is ancient history - you know, Mayors Wagner, Lindsay and such...

I rode the G train for years though, and it seldom posed a problem. There seems to be a stigma against it.

Before you waste much on this, it's on "best of craig's" which means it was likely intended more for  that disposition than to actually produce business.  It was posted in February and is no longer listed.  Even if I wanted to call the person and ask it what their intent was, I can't.  Given its anonymity, it could have been any one of you, or me.  Lastly, while it may be reasonable for it not to want to travel to Hoboken, there's no rational reason for its not going to Queens, since there are many areas of such that are more accessible from Williamsburg than in either Brooklyn OR Manhattan.

Hmmm... I really wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to drive on the BQE or ride the GG train...
