On August 27, 1977, GG service was cut back to Queens Plaza during late nights, and local service along Queens Boulevard was provided by the F. On August 30, 1976, due to budget cuts, F express service was eliminated, and GG service was cut back to Smith–Ninth Streets. All peak-direction F trains began running local on January 19, 1976. Since riders at local stations complained about the loss of direct service to Manhattan, F trains to and from Kings Highway began making local stops. On August 19, 1968, service was again extended to Church Avenue during rush hours to allow for the introduction of F express service on the IND Culver Line. It took 23 minutes for trains to travel between the two stations. Additional GG service was provided for the 1964 New York World's Fair, running nonstop between Roosevelt Avenue and Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets station every 30 minutes between 10 a.m. As a result, GG service was truncated to Forest Hills–71st Avenue. The fair closed on October 28, 1940, with the station and line being demolished later that year. įrom April 30 to November 1, 1939, and from May 11 to October 28, 1940, GG trains were extended via the temporary IND World's Fair Line to World's Fair Station at Horace Harding Boulevard at all times during the 1939-1940 World's Fair. Soon after, it was cut back to Smith–Ninth Streets. GG service ran at all times between Forest Hills–71st Avenue and Church Avenue. The entire IND Crosstown Line was completed on July 1, 1937, including the connection to the IND Culver Line (then the South Brooklyn Line) at Bergen Street. Starting on April 24, 1937, GG trains were extended to Forest Hills–71st Avenue during rush hours, serving as the Queens Boulevard local while E trains ran express west of 71st Avenue. This service was designated GG because the IND used double letters to indicate local service. The original Brooklyn–Queens Crosstown Local service began on August 19, 1933, as a shuttle between Queens Plaza on the IND Queens Boulevard Line and Nassau Avenue.

The GG, which became the G in 1985, had its southern terminal at Smith–Ninth Streets from 1976 to 2009. In 19, the then-designated GG also used the now-demolished IND World's Fair Line to access the 1939 New York World's Fair. Prior to 2010, it served all stations on the IND Queens Boulevard Line between Court Square and 71st Avenue in Forest Hills. The G serves two stations in Queens: Court Square and 21st Street, which are both in Long Island City.

Since the 2000s, several improvements have been made to the G, including a route extension in Brooklyn and a full-route audit that identified solutions for issues on the G service.

The G is the only non-shuttle service in the system that does not run through the borough of Manhattan. The G operates at all times between Court Square in Long Island City, Queens, and Church Avenue in Kensington, Brooklyn, making local stops along its entire route. Its route emblem, or "bullet", is colored light green since it uses the IND Crosstown Line. The G Brooklyn-Queens Crosstown Local is an 11.4-mile-long (18.3 km) rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway.
