About the route
The proposed Q1 Limited runs between Bellerose and Jamaica.
The proposed length of the Q1 Limited route is 5.2 miles.

The proposed route would connect to the Q6, Q8, Q9, Q17, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q27, Q30, Q31, Q36, Q40, Q41, Q43, Q44, Q54, Q56, Q60, Q65, Q76, Q77, Q82, Q83, Q88, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115.

Review the Q1 route summary
The proposed Q1 would be extended further west along Hillside Av to provide continuous all-day frequent service along the entire Hillside Av corridor from Bellerose to Sutphin Blvd/Jamaica Av. The proposed Q1 would terminate on Braddock Av at its eastern end and on Sutphin Blvd/Jamaica Av at its western end. Service on the existing Springfield Blvd branch would be provided by the proposed Q36.
To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q1 stops
would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
As the new main Hillside Av route, the Q1 would receive a significant frequency increase and would still operate 24 hours on weekdays and weekends.
