About the route

The proposed Q65 Local runs northbound to Jamaica and southbound to Flushing.

The proposed length of the Q65 Local route is 6.7 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 918 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,269 feet.

The route would include connections to the Q1, Q6, Q8, Q13, Q17, Q25, Q26, Q27, Q43, Q45, Q46, Q48, Q64, Q75, Q83, Q88, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Review the Q65 route summary

The proposed Q65 would still be the primary service along 164 St, but would no longer serve College Point, terminating in Flushing instead. The route would also be realigned approaching Flushing to serve Sanford Av, where the Q12 would no longer operate. Existing Q65 service in College Point would be replaced by the proposed Q26.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q65 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted to reallocate some service to the proposed Q26. Weekend frequencies would be slightly adjusted. Service would continue to operate 24 hours.
