About the route

The proposed Q41 Local runs southbound to Howard Beach and northbound to Jamaica.

The proposed length of the Q41 Local route is 8 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 888 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,256 feet.

The proposed route would connect to the Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q17, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q30, Q31, Q36, Q37, Q40, Q42, Q43, Q44, Q52, Q53, Q54, Q56, Q60, Q65, Q76, Q83, Q84, Q85, Q86, Q87, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115.

It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Review the Q41 route summary

The proposed Q41 would be straightened and extended along 109 Av and Lakewood Av instead of serving 127 St/128 St, providing a more direct east-west path to Jamaica. Although service along 127 St/128 St on the Q41 would be discontinued, several nearby routes would offer alternative service, including the Q8, Q24, and Q112.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q41 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
