About the route
The proposed Q60 Local runs westbound to Midtown East and eastbound to South Jamaica.
The proposed length of the Q60 Local route is 10.6 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 919 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,080 feet.
The route would include connections to the B57, Q1, Q6, Q8, Q9, Q10, Q18, Q20, Q23, Q24, Q25, Q30, Q31, Q32, Q37, Q38, Q40, Q41, Q43, Q44, Q45, Q46, Q47, Q48, Q53, Q54, Q56, Q58, Q59, Q64, Q65, Q68, Q72, Q75, and Q98. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- Interborough route
- More direct routing
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q60 route summary
The proposed Q60 would mostly maintain its existing routing except for a minor change. In the westbound direction approaching the Queensboro Bridge, buses would no longer travel around Dutch Kills Green via 41 Av/Queens Plaza North, avoiding a congested route deviation. As a result, buses would no longer stop on Queens Plaza North, and would approach the bridge directly from Queens Blvd.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q60 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability. Please note that bus stop locations on Queens Blvd are under further review for the future NYC DOT Queens Blvd Capital Project.
No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
