About the route

The proposed Q54 Limited runs westbound to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and eastbound to Jamaica. 

The proposed length of the Q54 Limited route is 9.7 miles. 

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 774 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,383 feet. 

The route would include connections to the B53, B57, B62, B66, B69, Q1, Q6, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q14, Q20, Q23, Q24, Q29, Q30, Q31, Q37, Q38, Q39, Q40, Q41, Q43, Q44, Q47, Q52, Q53, Q55, Q56, Q59, Q60, Q67, Q68, and Q110. It would also connect to the  trains and the Long Island Rail Road. 

Route Improvements

  • Interborough route
  • Improved stop spacing
  • Improved frequency
  • NYC DOT Priority Corridor

Review the Q54 route summary

The proposed Q54 would maintain its existing routing. 

To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q54 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance. 

Frequencies will be increased on weekdays to provide all-day 10 minutes-or-better service. No span changes are being proposed at this time.
