About the route

The proposed Q63 Local runs westbound to Long Island City and eastbound to Flushing. 

The proposed length of the Q63 Local route is 7.2 miles. 

This is a new route. The average stop spacing would be 1,270 feet. 

The route would include connections to the B62, Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15, Q17, Q18, Q19, Q20, Q23, Q25, Q26, Q27, Q32, Q33, Q39, Q44, Q47, Q49, Q50, Q62, Q66, Q69, Q72, Q101, Q103, Q104, and Q105. It would also connect to the  trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Route Improvements

  • Improved stop spacing
  • NYC DOT Priority Corridor

Review the Q63 route summary

The proposed Q63 would be a new route complementing the Q66 along Northern Blvd. The Q63 would provide service to 35 Av while the proposed Q66 Rush route would be straightened to provide more direct service to Queens Plaza. 

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q63 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. 

Although frequencies would be split between the Q63 and Q66, Northern Blvd would see an increase in service with the Q63 and Q66 combined. Weekday service would operate between 4:30 AM and 1:00 AM.
