About the route

The proposed Q105 Local runs northbound to Rikers Island and southbound to Long Island City. 

The proposed length of the Q105 Local is 5.2 miles. 

This is a new route. The average stop spacing would be 1,141 feet. 

The route would include connections to the Q18, Q19, Q39, Q63, Q66, Q67, Q69, Q101, Q104, and Q105. It would also connect to the  trains. 

Route Improvements

  • More direct routing
  • New connections
  • Improved stop spacing
  • Improved ADA access

Review the Q105 route summary

The proposed Q105 would be a new route serving the entire 31 St corridor from Court Square to Rikers Island. This route would replace the existing Q102 service on 31 St as well as existing Q100 service to Rikers Island. Q102 service to Roosevelt Island would be replaced by the proposed Q104.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q105 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. Bus stops under the elevated  trains would be made accessible pending further collaboration with NYC DOT. 

Proposed frequencies would resemble the existing Q102 and the route would operate 24 hours.
