Service changes on the G line in 2026

There will be recurring service changes on the G line in 2026. Here's what you need to know.
Updated September 14, 2026 9:00 a.m.

What we're doing

There are ongoing service changes on the   line in 2026 as we continue signal modernization and other supporting work.

In October,   trains are:

  • Part suspended in both directions:
    • Weeknights: 
      • October 12-16
  • Running in two sections with part suspended in both directions:
    • Weekends:
      • October 16-19
      • October 23-26
         
  • Skipping local stops between Smith-9th Sts and Church Av in one direction:
    • Weeknights:
      • October 5-9
      • October 19-23
    • Weekends:
      • October 9-12

We'll continue to provide detailed service changes and travel alternatives as they become available.

Why we're doing it

Some of these changes are related to our ongoing effort to modernize signals on the ​  line. While service is suspended, our crews will work on installing equipment, including cables, that will support the new signaling system. 

Other changes are related to ongoing accessibility improvements, structural work, and track maintenance, which is necessary to keep the line in a state of good repair—and ensure you have a smooth ride.
