Review the Q68 route summary
As part of both the Queens and Brooklyn Bus Network Redesigns, the proposed Q68 would be a new interborough route directly connecting Elmhurst and Jackson Heights with Williamsburg. The route would replace the southern half of the existing B24, which would be discontinued. This new service improves Queens- Brooklyn connectivity, addressing customer requests for better interborough service. Service on the northern half of the B24 along Greenpoint Av would be provided by the proposed B53.
Bus service changes in Brooklyn are still being reviewed and will be finalized as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q68 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Frequencies and span would resemble existing B24 service.
