G train shutdown in Queens and Brooklyn begins Friday. Here's how riders can get around the inconvenience.

NEW YORK -- Thousands of subway riders are in for a summer of headaches as the MTA prepares for the shutdown of the G line. Beginning this weekend and lasting for six weeks, the G will run in increments between Long Island City, Queens , and Kensington, Brooklyn , leaving riders to rely on shuttle buses.'The first thought that I had was that, is that possible? Can that even happen?' Williamsburg resident Shreyas Gupta said.

From Friday until July 5, shuttle buses will provide service in both directions between Court Square and Nassau Avenue. Then from July 5 until Aug. 12, those same buses will bring riders to and from Court Square and Bedford and Nostrand avenues, before finally linking commuters at Bedford and Nostrand to Jay Street Metrotech.'That's why we've gone through this enormous effort to put up this incredible shuttle bus system,' MTA CEO Janno Lieber said.
