About the route
The proposed Q83 Rush runs westbound to Jamaica and eastbound to Cambria Heights.
The proposed length of the Q83 Rush route is 4.8 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 729 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,030 feet.
The route would include connections to Q1, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q26, Q3, Q30, Q31, Q41, Q42, Q43, Q55, Q56, Q65, Q77, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- Fewer route patterns
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q83 route summary
The proposed Q83 would maintain its existing routing. Only bus stop changes are proposed.
To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q83 stops along Murdock Av, Farmers Blvd, and Liberty Av to 177 St would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops west of 177 St would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points. The proposed Q42 would provide local service to stops on this section of Liberty Av.
Frequencies at certain time periods would be slightly adjusted. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
