Dollar vans

Main article: Dollar vans in the New York metropolitan area

When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans, ^[97] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Queens, these routes were the Q74 and Q79. ^[98] There are also dollar vans that operate from Jamaica Center, providing an alternative mode of transportation to bus routes such as the Q4 to Cambria Heights, the Q113 to Far Rockaway, and the Q5 and Q85 to Green Acres Mall. ^{[99] [100]} The vans, some licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission and some unlicensed, charge a fare of $2.00, lower than the $2.90 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers. ^{[97] [99]}

In December 2011, City Councilman Leroy Comrie pushed the city to create designated bus stops for the dollar van services to alleviate traffic and interference of dollar vans with MTA buses. These dollar van stops for drop off and pick ups now includes the corner of 153rd Street and Archer Avenue along with Parsons Boulevard between Archer and Jamaica Avenue. ^[101]

Service replaced streetcar service from the New York and North Shore Traction Company, which had been discontinued three weeks prior. Service operated every 7 minutes between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m.. Eight buses were used to operate the route. [138] On September 1, 1925, the Bayside line was extended from Crocheron Avenue and Bell Boulevard to Shore Road. The extension was served by at least one trip per hour. The service was implemented at the request of a Bayside civic worker who had brought the issue to Queens Borough President Connolly. [139] Later operated by North Shore Bus Company. On April 13, 1960, the Little Bay Civic Association reported that the NYCTA turned down a proposal by that group and others to extend the route to Willets Point Boulevard and Utopia Parkway from its existing terminal at Fort Totten. The NYCTA declined to extend the route based on the findings of a study made in 1958, and since the extension would duplicate existing service. [140] On July 11, 1966, the NYCTA moved the terminals of the Q13, Q14, Q16, Q28, and Q44FS from downtown Flushing to the Flushing Parking Field surrounded by 37th Avenue, Union Street, 138th Street, and 39th Avenue on a six-month pilot basis. The change, which was made at the request of multiple Queens elected officials, was intended to provide shelter for riders and reduce downtown congestion. However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue.

One of the planned changes was the institution of late night service on the Q15, providing joint service along the two branches to Whitestone and Beechhurst. [143] Overnight service was eliminated on September 10, 1995 due to a budget crisis. [144] [145] On June 27, 2002, Beechhurst-bound Q15 buses were rerouted to the Cross Island Parkway Service Road from 15th Drive to speed up service. [109] Q15A replaced Q14 service on June 27, 2010 due to another budget crisis.
Q16	Originally owned by North Shore Bus Company, service began on August 15, 1930. Utopia Parkway service began on October 30, 1952 to serve the Clearview Gardens development. [146] [147] On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a series of changes to citywide bus service to take effect January 22, 1957. One of the planned changes was the consolidation of the main route via Willets Point Boulevard and Clintonville Avenue and the spur route along Utopia Parkway branches, onto 166th Street. Buses had previously alternated between running via Utopia Parkway and Francis Lewis Boulevard and Whitestone Parkway. The planned change was opposed by the North Queens Community Coordinating Council. [148] Service along the Utopia Parkway spur had run along Utopia Parkway from 16th Avenue to 26th Avenue. The main route had run along 26th Avenue, Clintonville Street and Willets Point Boulevard to 160th Street. Instead, service ran along 166th Street between 26th Avenue and Willets Point Boulevard. This change took effect on February 3, 1957. 166 trips were dropped from the Q16 schedule. [149] In response to the proposed change in the route, mothers from Clearview Gardens threatened to form a human barricade across 166th Street. They opposed the change due to safety concerns; service was to be rerouted from the wider Clintonville Street and Utopia Parkway to the narrow 166th Street, along which two schools were located. [150] The original routes were restored on November 17, 1957. [151] On July 11, 1966, the NYCTA moved the terminals of the Q13, Q14, Q16, Q28, and Q44FS from downtown Flushing to the Flushing Parking Field surrounded by 37th Avenue, Union Street, 138th Street, and 39th Avenue on a six-month pilot basis. The change, which was made at the request of multiple Queens elected officials, was intended to provide shelter for riders and reduce downtown congestion. However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue. [141] [142] Overnight service was eliminated on September 10, 1995 as part of a series of cuts made to reduce the MTA's budget deficit. [144] [145]
Q17	Originally owned by Flushing Heights Bus Company, service began in 1928. On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a slate of changes in city bus service to take effect January 22, 1957. One of the planned changes was the elimination of Q17-20 service between Flushing and College Point to eliminate competition with the Q25 route of Queens-Nassau Transit lines. Service was replaced by three routes: the new Q44FS between Flushing and College Point, the new Q17 Flushing-188th Street line, and the existing Q17A Little Neck-169th Street line. Free transfers were instituted between the routes. [143] Service west of 122nd Street and 14th Avenue in College Point was discontinued. The 598 daily trips on the Q17-20 were decreased by 44 among the Q17, Q44FS, and Q17A.

Service was replaced by three routes: the new Q44FS between Flushing and College Point, the new Q17 Flushing-188th Street line, and the existing Q17A Little Neck-169th Street line. Free transfers were instituted between the routes. [143] Service west of 122nd Street and 14th Avenue in College Point was discontinued.

However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue.

[34] [172] The northern terminal was shifted from Main Street and 39th Avenue to 39th Avenue and 138th Street in August 2014. [89] On June 30, 2024, Flushing-bound Q27 buses were shifted to start at 121st Avenue and Springfield Boulevard. [192]
Q28	Originally operated by North Shore Bus Company in April 1928. [193] On May 22, 1933, North Shore Bus Company officials said that buses used State Street instead of the route specified in the franchise on Crocheron Avenue between Northern Boulevard and 164th Street due to the poor condition of the roadway. Queens Borough President George U. Harvey had asked Police Commissioner James Bolan to stop the buses from using State Street to the west of 164th Street. [194] On June 6, 1933, it was announced that the route would be revised on June 10, 1933 to go off of State Street between 164th Street and Whitestone Avenue, and instead run along 164th Street, Crocheron Avenue, and Northern Boulevard in accordance with franchise requirements for the route laid out by Queens Borough President George U. Harvey. North Shore, right after being awarded the franchise for the route, submitted an application to modify the service to continue operating along the more direct State Street route. A hearing on the application would be held by the Board of Estimate's Committee of the Whole on June 13. North Shore President Joseph Rauschwerger did not want the route to be shifted to Northern Boulevard as adding the route, which operated every four minutes, to Northern Boulevard, which saw buses every two minutes, would increase congestion. With the June 10 change, service would run from 32nd Avenue and 201st Street in Bayside West, along 32nd Avenue, Cross Island Boulevard (later renamed as Francis Lewis Boulevard), State Street (later renamed 35th Avenue), 164th Street, Crocheron Avenue, Northern Boulevard, and Main Street to the Central Terminal Building on Roosevelt Avenue. Ridership on the route was 1.9 million in 1932. [195] On June 13, the Board postponed action on the request for a week after Mayor O'Brien suggested that the views of residents along State Street should be obtained first. At the meeting, a petition from residents of 164th Street was submitted in favor of the North Shore's application. The North Shore had previously been operating along State Street under a temporary permit from the city. At the meeting, Harvey said he was opposed to the proposed change and that he would ask the police department for permission the route to use 162nd Street instead of 164th Street. [196] At a later meeting of the board on June 20, residents along State Street testified against the restoration of service to State Street. Following that meeting, it was reported that the engineer in charge of the Division of Franchises and the chief engineer of the Board of Estimate were studying the potential rerouting of the route along a street other than Northern Boulevard or State Street. [197] On June 27, 1933, the Division of Franchises issued a report recommending that the Board of Estimate make no changes to the route until the franchise expired in February 1934. It also stated that requests to change the route could be brought up with Borough President Harvey, and that he could request that the Police Department permit service to run along another street to the west of 164th Street. The report said it would make sense to have the bus route run along a better alternative route, potentially straight along Crocheron Avenue. [198] On July 20, 1942, service was rerouted from 32nd Avenue to 33rd Avenue between Corporal Kennedy Street and Francis Lewis Boulevard. [199] On December 21, 1961, the Board of Estimate approved an extension of the Q28 requested by the NYCTA. [200] The proposed extension had mixed support from the Bay Terrace co-ops it would serve, with some residents opposing it since they believed having buses travel down the area's narrow streets would lead to the implementation of parking restrictions and one-way traffic, and would risk the lives of children, while some residents supported it for shortening their walks to the bus. [201] On February 18, 1962, the route was extended from Corporal Kennedy Street and 32nd Avenue to Corporal Kennedy Street and 18th Avenue during a six-month test period to provide bus service to new co-ops. [202] [203] Northbound service would be extended north along Corporal Kennedy Street to 18th Avenue. Southbound service would run along 18th Street to 211th Street, 211th Street to 23rd Avenue, and along 23rd Avenue to return to Corporal Kennedy Street, Service would run every 14 minutes in the morning rush hour, 16 minutes during the evening rush hour, and every 20 minutes other times. [204] This extension was made permanent after the test period. [205] [206] On July 11, 1966, the NYCTA moved the terminals of the Q13, Q14, Q16, Q28, and Q44FS from downtown Flushing to the Flushing Parking Field surrounded by 37th Avenue, Union Street, 138th Street, and 39th Avenue on a six-month pilot basis. The change, which was made at the request of multiple Queens elected officials, was intended to provide shelter for riders and reduce downtown congestion. However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue. [141] [142] On September 12, 1983, weekday service between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. was extended from 211th Street to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center at 213th Place, running along 23rd Avenue. [207] On July 15, 1988, the MTA Board approved the expansion of the span of service to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center from weekdays between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to all times the route operated. Previously, service outside those hours had terminated at 23rd Avenue and 211th Street other times. [208] The change was implemented as part of a phased elimination of multi-special school bus service not available to the general public prompted by new federal funding requirements. With the changes in Q28 service, special trips operating over the Q13 and Q28 to Intermediate School 25 and Bayside High School service would be eliminated in September 1988. The extended service would permit transfers to the Q13 route. In addition, westbound service to the shopping center would be rerouted to operate along 18th Avenue and 211th Street between 23rd Avenue and Corporal Kennedy Street, matching the route used by eastbound service. The changes took effect on September 11, 1988. [208] [209] On September 11, 1989, service was modified to have trips start at Bell Boulevard and 23rd Avenue instead of at the Bay Terrace Shopping Center. [210]
Q29	Service began in 1921. Formerly operated by Kings Coach Company, and then by Triboro Coach Corporation.
Q30	Q17A service began as a New York City Transit route on September 7, 1947, running between Jamaica Avenue and 169th Street to Horace Harding Boulevard and Springfield Boulevard. [211] Service began at 6 a.m. [212] The route was then extended along Horace Harding Boulevard between Springfield Boulevard and Little Neck Parkway at the Nassau County Line on August 21, 1949. [211] [213] The Q17A was renumbered to Q30 and extended from Jamaica Avenue-169th Street to Jamaica LIRR station via Archer Avenue on December 11, 1988. [107] [117] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q30 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions; eastbound buses had been running along Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and 168th Street. [113] [112] Short run trips terminating at Horace Harding Expressway and Springfield Boulevard converted into branch to Queensborough Community College on January 7, 2013. [34] [172] [28] [35] [214] [215]
Q31	Service began in 1932 on the Q31, Jamaica-Bayside West route, by the Bayside Community Bus Corporation. [216] On December 2, 1932, the New York City Board of Estimate had received an application to operate the route from S & C Bus Company. Its application would have the route operate with a five-cent fare instead of the existing two zones of five cents, with the zone split being at Kissena Park. A review of the application would take place on December 9. [217] With S&C's application, the petition of Bayside Community Bus was put off to be done along with the application of S&C. Acting Borough President John J. Halleran opposed this move as he believed that Bayside, being the existing operator, should get the franchise. Halleran did not support the five-cent fare as he did not believe good service could be provided at that fare level. [218] The Board of Estimate denied Bayside's application to get a one-year franchise for the route on January 23, 1933. Bayside's attorney noted that Controller Charles W. Berry's recommendation to the Board on how Queens bus franchises should be awarded called for the award of franchises to existing operators on a one-year contract to permit the values of franchises to be figured out before final awards for the routes could be awarded. [219] On February 14, 1933, Justice Henry G. Wenzel Jr. of the Queens Supreme Court denied an application by Bayside Community Bus for an injunction against the S&C from operating buses over the route. Wenzel Jr. ruled that the court could not act on a dispute between two bus operators where neither had official authorization. The attorney representing Bayside argued that the company was entitled to exclusive operation of the route, having operated the route since 1930, while S&C began running service over the same route in October 1932. [220] On February 17, 1933, the New York City Board of Estimate provided its final approval to award a one-year franchise to operate the route to S & C Buses with its approval of the form of contract, over the opposition of Queens Borough President Harvey. The company was incorporated on November 17, 1932. The Bayside Community Bus Corporation had petitioned for an additional one-year franchise for the route, and had requested a ten-cent fare for it. [216] The counsel for the Bayside Community Bus Corporation had stated that it had lost money on the route on a ten-cent fare for the previous two years. [221] The attorney for the company had stated that every other existing operator of buses in Queens got one-year franchises from the Board. [222] S&C's attorney had stated that the Bayside company had not been operating the route for four months and had no buses. S & C began operating the S&C's route on February 19, 1933. [222] Service operated every 20 minutes, and would operate every 10 minutes once the company received additional buses. [223] In September 1933, Flushing Heights Bus Corporation applied to the Board of Estimate for permission for the S&C to transfer the franchise for the route to it. [224] On November 17, 1933, the request was denied by the Board of Estimate at the request of Acting Queens Borough President John J. Halleran. He believed the line was unprofitable at its five-cent fare and that the route would end up being abandoned. A Flushing Heights representative stated that the company believed that cost reductions could be obtained and that the route could be operated profitably if it were transferred. [225] Service was discontinued by S&C on September 7, 1935. [102] : 600  On September 11, 1935, attorneys for the Bayside Bus Company were told that Mayor LaGuardia was opposed to granting a franchise to any route with fares over five cents. The company had applied to restore service on the route with two fare zones. Officials at the Department of Plant and Structures told the company that it could get a franchise for the route within a day if it agreed to run the route with a five-cent fare. [226] On November 30, 1935, the North Shore Civic Alliance sent a letter to the Department of Plants and Structures requesting that it implement an emergency bus service to replace the discontinued Q31, which had run between Jamaica station and Bayside West. [227] On November 9, 1936, the North Shore Bus Company restarted service on the route as part of its new franchise for all bus routes in Zone B (Flushing and Northern Queens), except those operated by the New York and Queens Transit Corporation. Bayside business owners and residents had requested the restoration of this route. Service would operated from Horace Harding Boulevard and Fresh Meadow Road to 32nd Avenue and 201st Street. Buses would operate along Fresh Meadow Lane, Auburndale Lane, 46th Avenue, Hollis Court Boulevard, 47th Avenue, Rocky Hill Road, 48th Avenue, Bell Boulevard, 35th Avenue, 208th Street, 33rd Avenue, and 201st Street. Weekday service operated every 12 to 16 minutes during rush hours, and every 20 minutes during other times. Service operated between about 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.. Transfers were provided at Horace Harding Boulevard to other North Shore routes to Jamaica and other destinations. [228] In February 1950, the Flushing Heights, Queens, Civic Association requested that the New York City Board of Transportation modify the southern terminal loop of the Q31, arguing that its existing route, which ran along a street with P.S. 173, endangered the lives of children and other people. The Q31's terminal loop had run via Fresh Meadow Lane, 67th Avenue, 173rd Street, and 65th Avenue. The group endorsed a proposal by the Horace Harding Civic Association to move the terminal loop a full block away from 67th Avenue. [229] On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a large number of changes to city bus service to take effect January 22, 1957. [143] As part of the changes, the former Q31 and Q31A routes were consolidated into the new Q31. The Q31A had run from 32nd Avenue and 201st Street to the Queens Village LIRR station. [230] The changes took effect February 3, 1957. [179] [180] [181] [231] : 37  On June 30, 1963, service was extended from Fresh Meadow Lane and 65th Avenue to Jamaica Avenue and 169th Street. Service was later extended north from 32nd Avenue and 201st Street. [232] This extension was done on a six-month pilot basis. Buses would run via 201st Street, 33rd Avenue, 202nd Street, 32nd Avenue, 208th Street, 35th Avenue, Bell Boulevard, 48th Avenue, Rocky Hill Road, 47th Avenue, Hollis Court Boulevard, Utopia Parkway, Homelawn Street, 169th Street, and Jamaica Avenue. Service ran every 30 minutes on weekdays, operating between 7:02 a.m. and 10:32 p.m. southbound, and between 7:47 a.m. and 11:20 p.m.. Saturday service operated southbound between 11:32 a.m. and 6:02 p.m., and northbound between 12:17 and 6:47 p.m. [233] The extension was approved on a permanent basis in February 1964. [234] On December 11, 1988, the route was extended on both ends. At the north end, service was extended to 29th Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard to allow transfers to the Q76. At the southern end, service was extended from Jamaica Avenue and 169th Street to the Jamaica LIRR station via Archer Avenue. Some trips would start or end at Merrick Boulevard in the morning or early afternoon. [235] [117] On September 16, 1989, service was extended slightly on its northern end to 27th Avenue and Francis Lewis Boulevard. [236] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q31 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions; eastbound buses had been running along Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and 168th Street. [113] [112] Weekend service was eliminated on June 27, 2010, but was restored on April 6, 2014. [237] [238]
Q32	FACCo began operating the 15 on July 9, 1925. [239] [240] Original southern terminus was Fifth Avenue and 25th Street.

[242] [244] Renumbered in the 1980s to the Q32 In December 2000, the MTA announced plans to extend the span of eastbound service following weekday and Saturday service from 12 a.m. to 1 a.m., and to extend Sunday service from 10 p.m. to 1 p.m. to allow western Queens residents to use the bus to return from evening events in Manhattan.

The original Q34 route was the College Point segment of the Q25; it was later rerouted to its current alignment in Whitestone and then extended along the Q25 route. On April 17, 2000, the span of weekday evening service on the route was changed, with bus service ending at 9 p.m. instead of midnight, and Saturday service was eliminated due to low ridership at these times. In addition, service now began at 5:30 a.m. on weekdays and was cut to running from 149th Street and Willets Point Boulevard to Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue. [246] Southern terminus was moved from 160th Street and Jamaica Avenue to Parsons Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue in 2004. [173] Service extended to Jamaica LIRR station on Sutphin Boulevard in 2007.

[248] Open-door service in Brooklyn added circa 1976; [249] [250] until then, buses only made drop offs northbound and pickups southbound in Brooklyn north of Kings Plaza. [251] On February 15, 2009, the last westbound stop was relocated from Flatbush Avenue between Nostrand Avenue and East 31st Street to Avenue H between Nostrand Avenue and Flatbush Avenue to accommodate a changed turnaround path.

[279] [280] In January 2000, the MTA announced that it would make a terminal reroute for LaGuardia Airport-bound bus service in Downtown Flushing to reduce delays by rerouting off of congested Prince Street and eliminating two difficult turns. One was a left turn to Prince Street from 39th Avenue, while the other was a right turn to Roosevelt Avenue from Prince Street. The change would reroute Q48 service to continue along 39th Avenue past Prince Street to Janet Place, make a left turn along Janet Place, and make a right turn onto Roosevelt Avenue, resuming its former route. The reroute provided service to a large supermarket at 39th Avenue and Janet Place that had no service. The change was to take effect the same month. [281] Q48 service was rerouted again in 2013, with service on Roosevelt Avenue from Main Street to Janet Place, ending the reroute via the supermarket on Janet Place.

Q54	Service started on June 12, 1949 to replace BMT streetcar service; [297] the eastern terminus was extended from Jamaica and Metropolitan Avenues to 170th Street at this time. [297] On November 6, 1954, the NYCTA proposed to truncate service along Jamaica Avenue from 171st Street to Metropolitan Avenue, a distance of 1.6 miles (2.6 km) to cut costs. Free transfers would have been provided to the B22 and B56. [298] [299] Formerly B53; [120] [297] renumbered on December 11, 1988. [117] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990.

[134] On April 12, 2009, westbound buses were rerouted to run via the Queens Midtown Expressway Service Road from 69th Street to Hamilton Place, instead of running via Grand Avenue and crossing the expressway's service roads, to speed up service. [318]
Q69	Service started in mid-1920s. [155] Original southern terminus was the Hallets Cove ferry slip, [155] diverted to Queens Plaza on August 10, 1934. [319] Formerly operated by Triboro Coach Corporation. Formerly Q19A. Renumbered on April 20, 2008. [132]

Q76	Francis Lewis Boulevard bus route proposed and rejected in 1959. [327] New route created by the New York City Transit Authority on October 29, 1961 as a six-month trial, [328] [329] running between Parsons Boulevard and 14th Avenue in Whitestone and the 179th Street station on Hillside Avenue. [120] [328] Service initially ran on 20-minute headways between 5:30 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. [330] On December 27, 1961, the NYCTA announced that it planned to apply to the Board of Estimate for permission to switch the travel path of the route for the second half of the trial the following month. Service was rerouted from running via the Long Island Expressway service road and 188th Street to get to Jamaica to staying on Francis Lewis Boulevard to Hillside Avenue. The shift was done so that data for revenue for the new route could be compared with revenue for the existing route. [331] Extended from 179th Street-Hillside Avenue to 165th Street Terminal in 1989. [125] Overnight service was eliminated on September 10, 1995 due to a budget crisis. [144] [145] In June 2000, the MTA announced plans to extend the route from 14th Avenue and Parsons Boulevard in Whitestone to 131st Street and 20th Avenue in College Point via 20th Avenue. Buses would no longer make a terminal loop consisting of Parsons Boulevard, 15th Avenue, 144th Place, and 14th Avenue. Instead, buses would continue south along Parsons Boulevard, and west on 20th Avenue to the terminal at 131st Street. Southbound buses would turn north onto 131st Street, east on 15th Avenue, south on 132nd Street, east on 20th Avenue, north on Parsons Boulevard, and east on 14th Avenue. The extension was intended to improve reliability and provide access to the growing commercial district along 20th Avenue from northeastern and southeastern Queens. In addition, southbound service would be rerouted via Cross Island Parkway Service Road instead of 14th Avenue and Clintonville Street to match the less circuitous route used by northbound service. The extension was estimated to cost about $300,000 a year, while the rerouting was expected to save about $10,000 a year. [332] The change took effect on September 11, 2000. [333] Saturday service eliminated on June 27, 2010 due to another budget crisis, but restored on September 8, 2012 along with new Sunday service. [28] [334]
Q77	Francis Lewis Boulevard bus route originally proposed and rejected in 1959. [327] New route created by the New York City Transit Authority Service started on September 13, 1965 [335] as a four-month trial [336] [337] in order to serve Andrew Jackson High School. [335] [338] Originally operated between the 179th Street station, and the intersection of Springfield Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard. [338] On September 10, 1973, service was extended 1.5 miles to Springfield Boulevard and 145th Road to serve Springfield Gardens High School, Junior High School 231, and provide additional service to Springfield Gardens. [339] Service was extended from 179th Street and Hillside Avenue to 165th Street Terminal on September 11, 1989. On the same date, the span of weekday system was extended for an additional hour in the evening. Saturday service was introduced on September 16, 1989. [125] [340] Sunday service was added on April 6, 2014. [237] [341] [238] On January 5, 2020, the route's southern terminal was moved from Springfield Boulevard and 145th Road to Springfield Boulevard and 145th Avenue. Southbound buses run via South Conduit Avenue, 225th Street and 145th Avenue to Springfield Boulevard. [342] [343] On January 3, 2021, the route's southern terminal was moved from Springfield Boulevard and 145th Avenue to South Conduit Avenue and 221st Street. The stop at Springfield Boulevard at 225th Street was eliminated. The route's terminal loop was modified to be South Conduit Avenue, 225th Street, and North Conduit Avenue. [344]
Q83	Originally operated by Bee Line Bus, service began in 1923. The route was extended from Springfield Boulevard and 114th Avenue to 227th Street and 113th Drive between 1946 and 1949. [211] On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a slate of changes in bus service citywide to take effect on January 22, 1957. Among the changes was the extension of Q3A service to the 179th Street subway station to eliminate congestion at 169th Street. [143] Formerly Q3A; renumbered and rerouted on December 11, 1988 to Jamaica Center. [117] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. [113] Buses were rerouted to run along Archer Avenue, 165th Street and Liberty Avenue. [112] Full-time service on the branch via Springfield Boulevard to the Queens Village LIRR station was eliminated on January 4, 2004, with service replaced by an extension of the Q27 from the Queens Village LIRR station to 120th Avenue and Springfield Boulevard. [191] [115] On January 12, 2004, Jamaica-bound limited-stop service in the a.m. rush hour was rerouted to Liberty Avenue and 160th Street from 168th Street and Archer Avenue to match the travel path during the p.m. rush hour. [115] Limited-stop service started stopping at Liberty Avenue and 177th Street in both directions on November 3, 2008 to allow for transfers with the Q42. [51]
Q84	Originally operated by Bee Line Bus, service began in 1923. On February 18, 1962, it was extended from 122nd Avenue and 199th Street to its present terminus at 238th Street and 130th Avenue for a six-month test period. [202] [203] Original western terminus was the 169th Street subway station Service was rerouted to Jamaica Center on December 11, 1988, and was renumbered from the Q4A to the Q84. [117] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q84 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions. Outbound trips had run on Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard. [113]
Q85	Originally owned by Bee Line Bus. Formerly Q5A and Q5AB. The Bedell Street branch of the Q5A began operation on August 9, 1964 to serve Rochdale Village and reduce congestion on the other routes along Merrick Boulevard. This branch would start at Bedell Avenue and 133rd Avenue, run along Bedell Avenue, Baisley Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard, 168th Street, 88th Avenue, and 168th Place, and then would run via Hillside Avenue east of 167th Street. Service would return by Hillside Avenue, Merrick Boulevard to the 165th Street bus terminal, Merrick Boulevard, Baisley Boulevard and Bedell Street. This service, which was requested by Queens Borough President Mario J. Cariello, would run weekdays between 6 a.m. and 12 a.m., and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Rush hour service would be every ten minutes, and every 20 minutes during weekdays off-peak, and Sundays and holidays, and every 15 minutes on Saturdays. [345] [346] Early morning service on this branch was added at some point afterwards. On September 10, 1973, to better serve Rosedale, Q5A service was scheduled to be extended a half-mile to 253rd Street and 149th Avenue, and Jamaica-bound service was rerouted off of Brookville Boulevard and onto 243rd Street. [339] The new route had been approved by Community Board 13 in December 1972. On September 14, 1973, members of the Rosedale Block Association, who had refused to let buses travel along Huxley Avenue between met with Queens Borough President Manes between 147th Avenue and 149th Avenue, which was part of the new route. Residents claimed that the street was too narrow for buses and that the street was too prone to flooding after rainstorms. By this date, Q5A buses did not attempt to use the new route, and the NYCTA did not plan to do so until an agreement was reached with residents. [347] On April 20, 1975, to cut costs, service on the Farmers Boulevard branch to Huxley Street between 1:15 a.m. and 5 a.m. was eliminated. Early morning service via Bedell Street was maintained. [104] On September 26, 1982, wheelchair-accessible buses began operating on the Q5A and 17 other city bus routes. [186] On September 11, 1983, service on the Q5AB was increased, and service on the Q5A was increased in February 1984. [348] On December 15, 1985, the NYCTA announced it was reconsidering its plan to adjust service to Rochdale Village, and would conduct a survey with community input over the following three to four weeks. Many local residents were opposed to NYCTA's plan to consolidate the Q5A and Q5AB routes. Bus service along the seven blocks on Farmers Boulevard between Bedell Street and Merrick Boulevard would be discontinued. [349] On September 13, 1987, the NYCTA implemented a series of service reductions in Southeast Queens, including the combination of the Q5A, which ran to 243rd Street and 147th Avenue in Rosedale via Conduit Avenue, with the Q5AB Bedell Street route, which ran to Rochdale, to form the Q85, with reduced service on Merrick Boulevard. [350] These routes were operated as a single service during late evenings and early mornings. [351] Original western terminus was the 169th Street subway station. [117] Service was rerouted to Jamaica Center on December 11, 1988. [117] In March 1992, merchants in Jamaica criticized a NYCTA proposal to extend the Q85 to Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream as they believed it would divert shoppers from their stores to promote economic development in Nassau County. The proposal was spurred due to surveys showing that people in Southeast Queens wanted additional service to the mall. [352] This extension took effect on September 20, 1992, with buses running to the mall every 25 minutes between 9 a.m. and 12 a.m. [353] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q85 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions. [113] Outbound trips had run on Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard. [112] Q85 limited-stop service began on the Rosedale branch on January 10, 1994 during rush hours eastbound between 4:00 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. and westbound between 6:35 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Limited-stop buses would make local stops between Bedell Street and Rosedale. Service to Green Acres Mall continued to run local. [354] On January 12, 2004, Jamaica-bound limited-stop service in the a.m. rush hour was rerouted to Liberty Avenue and 160th Street from 168th Street and Archer Avenue to match the travel path during the p.m. rush hour. [115]
Q88	New route created by the New York City Transit Authority. On January 25, 1974, the New York City Board of Estimate approved the route, given that the NYCTA provide annual ridership, loss, and profit data to the city's Franchise Bureau. At the time, it was expected that free transfers would be provided to the Q17, Q17A, Q31, and Q44 bus routes. While Queens Borough President Donald Manes had been assured that bus service would begin in two to three months, [355] the NYCTA's general manager refused to begin service as the city demanded some financial records it did not want to release. The NYCTA had held that its bus operations were only subject to review by the city controller's office, and had fought against efforts by the Franchise Bureau to provide oversight. While the Franchise Bureau previously had no clear authority to mandate that the NYCTA provide financial data, the resolution approving the Q88 route required the NYCTA to provide relevant data after one year of operation. A NYCTA spokesperson, in June 1974, said that it was up to the Franchise Bureau to get an opinion from the corporation counsel to resolve the issue. [356] In August 1974, the city was about to take away NYCTA's authorization for the route and instead award it to Triboro Coach on an experimental basis until August 31, 1975. [357] The Board of Estimate approved the route after the NYCTA agreed to informally provide the data for the new route without having to allow the city to audit its records. [358] Service started on September 16, 1974, after the New York City Board of Estimate approved a franchise for the route on September 12. The route's original eastern terminal was Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike. [359] Bus service initially ran daily except Sundays between 6:30 a.m. and 11 p.m.. It ran every ten minutes during rush hours, and every twenty minutes at other times. [360] In November 1974, the NYCTA studied extending the route to serve Queensborough Community College to address the lack of student parking. [361] In December 1974, a free transfer was instituted between the Q88 and the Q17A. The Board of Estimate had approved the Q88 route in January 1974 on the condition that this free transfer be provided. [362] In January 1979, it was announced that Q88 service would be extended from Union Turnpike to Hillside Avenue, with those buses heading along Springfield Boulevard to Jamaica Avenue, on the way to Queens Village Bus Depot, running in service, making stops along Springfield Boulevard, instead of deadheading. Free transfers would also be provided to the Q1 and Q27 for riders continuing south along Springfield Boulevard. [363] [364] The NYCTA decided against extending all Q88 trips to Jamaica Avenue due to a lack of buses. [365] The changes took effect on March 4, 1979. [279] [280] In September 1983, bus service was increased due to increased ridership and the proliferation of gypsy cabs along the route. [366] [367] One additional bus was added to the route to make short-run trips between Queens Boulevard and Queens College. [368] On July 15, 1988, the MTA Board approved the extension of all trips on the route along Springfield Boulevard from Hillside Avenue to Jamaica Avenue to simplify service. At the time, 40 percent of trips operate to and from Jamaica Avenue, on an irregular basis. [369] The change took effect on September 11, 1988. [370] In April 2001, the MTA announced that the span of Sunday service from 7:10 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. would be extended. The change, which was estimated to cost $30,000 a year, was to be implemented in June 2001. [371]
Q100	Started service in the 1980s. Formerly operated by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005. [372] Formerly Q101R; renumbered the Q100 on April 6, 2008. [132] Originally non-stop between Long Island City and Rikers Island parking lot. [326] Limited-stop service along 21st Street began on February 1, 2009. [373]
Q101	Service started on November 1, 1939 to replace Steinway Street Line streetcar service. [304] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005. [323] [372] Original northern terminus was Rikers' Island; when the Q101R (now Q100) was created, service was truncated to 19 Avenue. Prior to the creation of the Q101R, this route was the only local bus route to traverse three boroughs, since Rikers' Island is located in The Bronx. On October 10, 2010, the route's Manhattan terminal was moved from Second Avenue and East 58th Street to avoid obstructing the bus lane for the planned M15 Select Bus Service. The new last stop was moved to East 61st Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, while a new first stop was established at the southwest corner of East 61st Street and Second Avenue. [287]
Q102	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar. [304] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005. [323] [372] Starting on April 18, 2010, all service began traveling through Roosevelt Island in the same direction and some closely spaced bus stops on the island were discontinued. [374] Newtown Avenue, Crescent Street, and Astoria Boulevard segment discontinued in favor of operating via 30th Avenue on June 29, 2014.
Q103	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar. [304] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005. [323] [372] Weekend service was added and the span of weekday service hours were extended from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on June 29, 2014 on a pilot basis. [375] On March 20, 2015, it was announced that the changes would be made permanent. [376]
Q104	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar line. [304] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005. [323] [372]
Q110	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses. Originally Route A; replacement for Jamaica Avenue-Hempstead Turnpike trolley service on November 25, 1933. [377] [378] [379] [380] Original terminus was 168th Street station, [381] which was the former terminus of the surface line. [382] On May 2, 2007, the Q110 started serving the racetrack on racing days. [303]
Q111	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses [379] as Route B (Jamaica-Hook Creek). Originally part of the current Q113; separated into Route B in the 1950s; [383] renumbered the Q111 by 1960. [384] Between 1985 and December 1989, the route was cut back to Peninsula Boulevard and Rockaway Turnpike; the route had gone further west on Peninsula Boulevard. [188] [124]
Q112	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses. Originally Route C; replacement for Liberty Avenue trolley service on December 3, 1933. [377] [378] [379] [380] Original terminus was the 168th Street elevated station [381] Between 1980 and 1985, Rockaway Boulevard-bound buses were rerouted off of Union Hall Street between Archer Avenue and Liberty Avenue, and onto Archer Avenue, Guy R Brewer Boulevard, and Liberty Avenue. Bus service continued to run via Union Hall Street between Jamaica Avenue and Archer Avenue, and between Liberty Avenue and South Road. This change was made because Union Hall Street was closed between these streets to traffic, and became part of the York College campus. [187] [188] Between 1985 and December 1989, service was streamlined in Jamaica, and southbound buses stopped running via Union Hall Street, instead running via Guy R Brewer Boulevard along with the Q111 and Q113. [188] [124] Terminal loop in Jamaica rerouted in the late 1980s
Q113	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses; originally Route B [377] and Route D; [383] replacement for Jamaica Central Railways' Jamaica–Far Rockaway trolley line. [378] [379] [385] Rockaway−Nassau County portion of route began operation in September 1930. [380] [90] The full-route to Jamaica began operating on November 12, 1933. [378] Original terminals were 168th Street station in Jamaica and the Far Rockaway LIRR station (site of the current subway station). [381] [90] Service to Seagirt Boulevard began on April 20, 1952, following disruption of LIRR Rockaway service. [386] Between 1985 and December 1985, southbound buses were rerouted from Beach Channel Drive and Mott Avenue to Nameoke Avenue and Central Avenue. [188] [124] Limited-stop service extended on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, and expanded to Saturdays on March 12, 2007. [387] Limited-stop service shifted onto Rockaway Boulevard between Springfield Gardens and Five Towns on July 3, 2011. [388] Local service split into the Q114 on August 31, 2014. [89] [389]
Q114	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses as the local portion of the Q113. Originally Route B [377] and Route D. [383] Renumbered to Q114 on August 31, 2014, when limited service was introduced on 147th Avenue west of Brookville Boulevard. Local service along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard and 147th Avenue was replaced by the Q111. [89] [389] Local service was formerly late nights only; extended to evening hours on January 4, 2015. [390]

Proposed bus route changes

For a list of proposed new express bus routes, see List of express bus routes in New York City § Proposed new bus routes.

In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes. ^{[391] [392]} The routes were given a "QT" label to avoid confusion with existing routes. The "QT" prefix was tentative; in the final plan, all bus routes would have been labeled with "Q", similar to the existing routes. ^{[393] : 24} The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020, ^{[391] [392]} but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans. ^[394] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. ^[395] Planning resumed in mid-2021. ^{[396] [397]}

The original draft plan was dropped, ^[398] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022. ^[394] The new plan retained the "Q" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes. However, the new plan still contained significant changes compared with the existing bus map; only the Q70 SBS was not modified at all. In addition, 11 routes will be eliminated, 20 routes will be created, and 29 others will be truncated, extended, or combined with other routes. ^[399]

A final plan was to have been released in early 2023 ^[400] but was delayed until December 2023. ^{[401] [402]} The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn, four new local routes, eight routes with new overnight service, and 27 rush routes. ^[403] A second final plan was announced in December 2024. The new plans called for 124 bus routes, including 25 rush routes and 20 routes with expanded service hours. ^{[404] [405]} Several Brooklyn routes are being changed; for these changes, see List of bus routes in Brooklyn § Proposed bus route changes.

There are to be four types of routes: ^{[406] : 27}

• Select Bus Service (originally high-density ^{[393] : 31}) – routes connecting highly populated corridors, with limited stops every 1,742 to 2,640 feet (531 to 805 m) ^{[407] : 25}
• Rush (originally subway connector ^{[393] : 26}) – routes connecting one or two neighborhoods to subway hubs, with a limited-stop section between the subway and the relevant neighborhoods. These often correspond to current routes with limited-stop variants. ^{[407] : 29}
• Limited-stop (originally intra-borough ^{[393] : 27}) – routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs. These do not necessarily correspond to the current definition of limited-stop services, as the stops are spaced only slightly further than on local routes. ^{[407] : 30}
• Local (originally neighborhood ^{[393] : 28}) – routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs and important destinations, typically at lower frequencies and higher stop densities compared to limited-stop routes ^{[407] : 28}

Routes marked with an asterisk (*) are proposed to run 24 hours a day. For rush routes, streets with nonstop sections are notated in italics.

Former routes

Below are the list of former Queens bus routes, including the previous route designations of current routes. Several route numbers for NYCTA buses in Queens and other boroughs were changed on July 1, 1974. ^[242] On December 11, 1988, when the Archer Avenue lines opened to Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer station, some of the Brooklyn "B" routes that operate primarily in Queens were redesignated as "Q" routes, ^[500] and a number of other routes were renumbered or modified. Most of the former routes are operated by NYCTA; some were operated by private companies in Queens. ^[117]

Q5A	Rosedale	Jamaica	243rd Street, Conduit Avenue, Farmers Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard	On September 13, 1987, the NYCTA implemented a series of service reductions in Southeast Queens, including the combination of the Q5A, which ran to 243rd Street and 147th Avenue in Rosedale via Conduit Avenue, with the Q5AB Bedell Street route, which ran to Rochdale, to form the Q85, with reduced service on Merrick Boulevard. [350] These routes were operated as a single service during late evenings and early mornings. [351] [187] [188]
Q5AB	Locust Manor LIRR station, Springfield Gardens	Jamaica	Bedell Street, Merrick Boulevard

Q10A	Kew Gardens	JFK Airport	Van Wyck Expressway	Six trips to JFK Airport only in weekday morning hours, express service; [162] [326] [502] became Q10 Limited stop service in 2006. Originally operated by Green Bus Lines then MTA Bus in 2005.
Q12A	Became the Q79 on April 15, 1990. [274] See below for more information.
Q14	Flushing–Main Street	Whitestone	Union Street, 149th Street, 150th Street	Replaced former New York and North Shore Traction Company Whitestone Trolley Line On July 11, 1966, the NYCTA moved the terminals of the Q13, Q14, Q16, Q28, and Q44FS from downtown Flushing to the Flushing Parking Field surrounded by 37th Avenue, Union Street, 138th Street, and 39th Avenue on a six-month pilot basis. The change, which was made at the request of multiple Queens elected officials, was intended to provide shelter for riders and reduce downtown congestion. However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue. [141] [142] In December 2000, the MTA announced a proposed extension to the route to 150th Street and Third Avenue in Whitestone to provide service one- and two-family homes that were newly developed on a former country club between Seventh Avenue and Third Avenue, and to eliminate the route's problematic existing turnaround in a residential neighborhood at its terminal at Clintonville Street and Seventh Avenue. Buses had to turn around a small traffic island on a steep hill by making a right turn from Seventh Avenue to Clintonville Street, a left onto 151st Street, and then a left onto Seventh Avenue. Instead of turning east onto Seventh Avenue, buses would continue north along 150th Street to a new terminal at Third Avenue. Southbound buses would turn west on Third Avenue, south on 149th Street east on Fifth Avenue, and then turn back south onto 150th Street. The extension had been requested by Community Board 7 on behalf of residents of the new housing. A customer survey found that 25 percent of riders who boarded the bus on Seventh Avenue lived north of Sixth Avenue. The extension was expected to cost $10,000 a year, and was to take effect in March 2001. [503] Discontinued on June 27, 2010 due to budget crisis. [504] Partially replaced by the Q15A
Q17A	Became the Q30 on December 11, 1988 [117]

Q24X	Service began in October 1971, [506] and later became the X24, and then the X64 on April 15, 1990 [274]
Q30 First version	Fresh Meadows	Jamaica	188th Street	On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a large number of changes to city bus service to take effect January 22, 1957. One of the changes was to extend the Q17 to replace Q30 service. The change would eliminate duplication with the Q25 bus route of the Queens-Nassau Transit company between Jamaica and College Point. [143] The change took effect on February 3, 1957, and the route was discontinued. [152] [231] : 37
Q31A	Bayside 201st Street and 32nd Avenue	Queens Village LIRR station	Bell Boulevard, Springfield Boulevard	In March 1949, the Greater Bayside Bus Coordinating Committee was organized at the request of Greater Bayside Citizens Association, with representatives from local civic groups. It created a plan for improvements in bus service, with the main element being proposed crosstown bus service on Springfield Boulevard. The Oakland Gardens Civic Association and the Businessmen's Association were the groups that led the push for Springfield Boulevard service. [511] On October 27, 1949, Queens Borough President Maurice A. FitzGerald sent a letter to Transportation Commissioner William Ried on October 27, 1949 detailing his strong support for the proposed routes on Springfield Boulevard. [511] On April 4, 1950, the Board of Estimate approved plans from the Board of Transportation to extend the Q27 2.5 miles along Springfield Boulevard, and to create a new branch of the Q31, the Q31A, running along Springfield Boulevard between Queens Village and Bayside West. The route would be 5.4 miles long. It was expected that the changes would be implemented in two weeks. FitzGerald stated that his initial request that the line along Springfield Boulevard head to Merrick Road was not implemented due to sewer construction, and that he would again request that the full extension be implemented after that work was completed. [511] Service, also known as the Bayside West-Queens Village route, began on April 30, 1950 via Bell Boulevard and Springfield Boulevard. [512] : 16  [182] Combined with the Q31 and discontinued on February 3, 1957. [231] : 208
Q32 First version	Creedmoor Psychiatric Center [513] [514]	Queens Village LIRR station [513] [514]	Winchester Boulevard; [513] 222nd Street and Jamaica Avenue (original route); [515] Hillside Avenue and Springfield Boulevard (post-1945 route) [513]	Began operation in 1930 under Lund Coach, [516] before being transferred to Nevin-Queens Bus Corporation on July 4, 1934. From February 17, 1935, [517] [102] : 589  to November 9, 1936, the route was operated by North Shore Bus Company. [518] Z & M Coach Company then operated the route until June 30, 1939, [103] and North Shore Bus Company again until city takeover in 1947. [513] [514] Sunday service on the Q32 was discontinued on February 3, 1957. [180] On June 25, 1959, the Board of Estimate requested that the NYCTA hold a public hearing on the proposal to discontinue the bus route. [519] The public hearing was held on July 6, 1959, and the route was discontinued on July 24, 1959 due to low ridership. [514] [231] : 187  In 1958, only 3,258 passengers used the route, down from 14,148 in 1954. [520]

[533] [512] : 16  Saturday service was eliminated on September 26, 1959. [534] Between 1980 and 1985, northbound buses were rerouted off of 147th Street between 12th Avenue and 3rd Avenue On September 21, 1989, the NYCTA held a public hearing for its proposed discontinuation of the route. Speakers at the public hearing said that ridership on the route would increase significantly if it ran during middays, and that some people would have to walk at least a mile to get to stops on the Q44. The 2.1 miles (3.4 km)-long route ran between Third Avenue near the Whitestone Expressway and 14th Avenue and Parsons Boulevard. [535] The route was scheduled to be discontinued due to low ridership; it was used by an average of 67 to 95 passengers per day. [536] Service on the route ran between 7 and 9 a.m. and 2:48 and 7 p.m., and did not operate on weekends. The route ran 18 trips per day, and was well below the MTA's loading guidelines. Within the following two months, the proposal was sent to the MTA board for approval. Discontinued in 1990; was to become the Q71 on April 15, 1990

Q57	Queensbridge 21st Street and 41st Avenue	LaGuardia Airport		Operated by Two Borough Express Incorporated, a subsidiary of Triboro Coach. The subsidiary was created to simplify bidding for the route, which did not receive a public subsidy. Within the contract for the one-year franchise for the route was a clause allowing for the cancellation of the route with a six months' notice, included in part because of the fear of subway crime on the part of the president of Two Boroughs Express. The president hoped to give the route at least a year, and hoped that the route would be used by at least 2,000 passengers per day. [541] Six buses were bought from Triboro Coach for the service. It cost $122,000 to start up the service. [542] Service began on September 17, 1990 with a $5 fare and operated between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., every 20 minutes and 7 days a week. Nicknamed "QT" bus route, with the QT short for LaGuardia Express Quick Trip. The bus followed a 6.1 miles (9.8 km)-long route, and took 20 minutes to complete a trip. The route was marketed toward business travelers looking for a cheaper way to get to the Airports, and was intended to be an alternative to cabs and airport buses from Manhattan. Service was discontinued in May 1991.

Q74	Kew Gardens–Union Turnpike subway station	Queens College	Vleigh Place, Main Street, Kissena Boulevard, Melbourne Avenue [162]	North Shore Bus Company began operating the Q44VP on October 14, 1940. Renumbered to the Q74 on April 15, 1990. [274] [158] Discontinued on June 27, 2010 due to budget crisis. [504]
Q75	Jamaica [272]	Oakland Gardens	Hillside Avenue, 188th Street, 73rd Avenue, Springfield Boulevard, 69th Avenue, Cloverdale Boulevard [162] [272]	Service was begun, by the New York City Board of Transportation, on a temporary basis on April 28, 1952, [544] [512] : 384  before permanent bus service started on May 4, 1952. [272] Sunday service was discontinued on February 3, 1959. [180] In August 1979, the NYCTA proposed eliminating Saturday bus service because of their low usage, with 13 riders per trip, and to save $60,000 annually. This was proposed as part of a series of cuts to save $1.4 million. Saturday service ran every 20 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m. [545] [546] The public hearing was held on September 12, 1979. [547] On September 19, 1979, in response to a campaign in opposition to the change, led by State Senator Gary Ackerman and Rose Simon, who chaired an "Ad Hoc Committee to Save the Q75", the NYCTA agreed to continue operating Saturday service on the route. [548] On December 11, 1988, the route was extended from 179th Street station to the 165th Street Terminal in conjunction with the opening of the Archer Avenue Line. [117] On June 15, 1989, a public hearing was held on the planned elimination of Saturday service. Saturday service ran every 30 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 1:20 a.m.. The average ridership on Saturday was five passengers per trip. The NYCTA noted that there was frequent bus service on alternate routes. The annual cost saving was $72,000. [549] In December 1990, local officials stated that the route could be one of the routes to be cut by the NYCTA as part of its $25 million citywide cut in bus service and asked the president of the NYCTA to hold a public hearing. While a TA spokesman denied that the Q75 was part of the plan, the head of Amalgamated Transit Union local 1056, Jerry Fancher, said that he saw an interdepartmental memo saying that service on the route would be cut. [550] On February 4, 1991, a public hearing was held on the planned span reduction on the Q75, which was to be part of the 1991 Service Plan. At the meeting, the public requested that midday service be maintained to provide a connection to shopping and the subway. Some suggested that it be replaced by an extension of the Q65A, but this was dismissed since it was operated by Queens Surface. While the original proposal called for greater cuts on the route, the proposal presented to the MTA Board in May 1994 affected fewer passengers. The proposal would have eliminated late evening service between 9:00 p.m. and 1:20 a.m., which was only used by 15 passengers, or an average of fewer than a person per trip. The proposal was set to go into effect in September 1994, limiting the route's hours of operation to 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., saving $100,000 annually. [551] : D.4–D.7  Discontinued on June 27, 2010 due to budget crisis. [504]
Q79	Little Neck LIRR Station	Floral Park	Little Neck Parkway	Sunday service was discontinued on February 3, 1959. [180] Formerly Q12A; renumbered on April 15, 1990.

Q80	South Jamaica Sayres Avenue and Merrick Boulevard	South Ozone Park Lefferts Boulevard and Liberty Avenue	Linden Boulevard	Experimental bus route. Originally scheduled for three months from September 8, 1969 to December 1969. [553] [554] The route was extended for another three months. Although the route was scheduled to be discontinued on March 5, 1970, [555] the pilot was extended again on March 6, 1970. The NYCTA was seeking ways to increase ridership on the route. There were only 8 or 9 riders on each bus. Service ran between 7 and 9 a.m. and between 4 and 7 p.m. [556]
Q86	Rosedale Rosedale Long Island Rail Road station	Rosedale 257th Street and 148th Avenue	Francis Lewis Boulevard	Service began in 1951. Ran from the Rosedale Long Island Railroad Station to 257th Street and 148th Avenue. [120] On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a large slate of cuts in bus service citywide to take effect January 22, 1957. Initially, this route was planned to be discontinued as part of the changes. However, due to requests by the Queens Borough President and civic groups, the cut was averted. Instead, free transfers were made available at the terminal in Laurelton. [143] Sunday service was discontinued on February 3, 1957, [180] but was restored on August 4. On August 24, 1957, the NYCTA announced that this service would be discontinued on September 8 if ridership did not increase. The NYCTA had lost $30 each Sunday the service was operated. [183] Originally Q5S; renumbered Q86 on December 11, 1988. [117] Discontinued in 1996 due to poor ridership. [134]

[162] [326] Extended to 165th Street Bus Terminal on October 30, 1989. [125] [124] [121] The new route was proposed in March 1986 to serve the newly opened South Jamaica Multi-Service Center. Service was initially planned to operate from Mondays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.. The New York City Board of Estimate was scheduled to vote on the proposed route in April 1986. Service was to be operated between 132nd Place and Rockaway Boulevard to 168th Street and Archer Avenue, running via Rockaway Boulevard, Lincoln Street, Linden Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard and Archer Avenue. [557] Service on the route was scheduled to begin around May 1, 1986, as soon as signs designated the route's stops were installed along the route by the Department of Traffic. Service on the route started after an agreement was reached between Green Bus Lines, the city's Bureau of Franchises and Community Board 12. The Board had sought the creation of the new bus route to help riders traveling between St. Albans or Cambria Heights and South Ozone Park. The Q9A began service operating on weekdays only between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.. Unlike the initial proposal, service began at Lincoln Street and Rockaway Boulevard.
