Subway shuttle routes
The following table lists the scheduled NYC Bus routes that temporarily replace portions of service on the New York City Subway due to system maintenance.
Dollar vans
When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans ,[ 94] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Queens, these routes were the Q74 and Q79.[ 95] There are also dollar vans that operate from Jamaica Center, providing an alternative mode of transportation to bus routes such as the Q4 to Cambria Heights, the Q113 to Far Rockaway, and the Q5 to Green Acres Mall.[ 96] [ 97] The vans, some licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission and some unlicensed, charge a fare of $2.00, lower than the $2.90 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers.[ 94] [ 96]
In December 2011, City Councilman Leroy Comrie pushed the city to create designated bus stops for the dollar van services to alleviate traffic and interference of dollar vans with MTA buses. These dollar van stops for drop off and pick ups now includes the corner of 153rd Street and Archer Avenue along with Parsons Boulevard between Archer and Jamaica Avenue.[ 98]
List of routes from June 29th to August 30th, 2025
The list gives details of routes in Queens between the first and second phases of implementation of the Queens Bus Network Redesign.[ 99]

History of current routes
Proposed bus route changes (List of routes effective August 31st, 2025)
In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes.[ 192] [ 193] The routes were given a "QT" label to avoid confusion with existing routes. The "QT" prefix was tentative; in the final plan, all bus routes would have been labeled with "Q", similar to the existing routes.[ 194] : 24 The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,[ 192] [ 193] but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans.[ 195] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City .[ 196] Planning resumed in mid-2021.[ 197] [ 198]
The original draft plan was dropped,[ 199] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.[ 195] The new plan retained the "Q" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes. However, the new plan still contained significant changes compared with the existing bus map; only the Q70 SBS was not modified at all. In addition, 11 routes will be eliminated, 20 routes will be created, and 29 others will be truncated, extended, or combined with other routes.[ 200]
A final plan was to have been released in early 2023[ 201] but was delayed until December 2023.[ 202] [ 203] The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn, four new local routes, eight routes with new overnight service, and 27 rush routes.[ 204] A second final plan was announced in December 2024. The new plans called for 124 bus routes, including 25 rush routes and 20 routes with expanded service hours.[ 205] [ 206] The routes are to be implemented in two parts, on June 29 and August 31, 2025.[ 207] Several Brooklyn routes are being changed; for these changes, see List of bus routes in Brooklyn § Proposed bus route changes .
There are to be four types of routes:[ 208] : 27
Select Bus Service (originally high-density[ 194] : 31 ) – routes connecting highly populated corridors, with limited stops every 1,742 to 2,640 feet (531 to 805 m; 1 ⁄3 to 1 ⁄2 mi)[ 100] : 25
Rush (originally subway connector[ 194] : 26 ) – routes connecting one or two neighborhoods to subway hubs, with a limited-stop section between the subway and the relevant neighborhoods. These often correspond to current routes with limited-stop variants.[ 100] : 29
Limited-stop (originally intra-borough[ 194] : 27 ) – routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs. These do not necessarily correspond to the current definition of limited-stop services, as the stops are spaced only slightly further than on local routes.[ 100] : 30
Local (originally neighborhood[ 194] : 28 ) – routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs and important destinations, typically at lower frequencies and higher stop densities compared to limited-stop routes[ 100] : 28
Routes marked with an asterisk (*) are proposed to run 24 hours a day. For rush routes, streets with nonstop sections are notated in italics.

Below are the list of former Queens bus routes, including the previous route designations of current routes. Several route numbers for NYCTA buses in Queens and other boroughs were changed on July 1, 1974.[ 211] On December 11, 1988, when the Archer Avenue lines opened to Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer station , some of the Brooklyn "B" routes that operate primarily in Queens were redesignated as "Q" routes,[ 212] and a number of other routes were renumbered or modified. Most of the former routes are operated by NYCTA; some were operated by private companies in Queens.[ 213]

Replaced former New York and North Shore Traction Company Whitestone Trolley Line
On July 11, 1966, the NYCTA moved the terminals of the Q13, Q14, Q16, Q28, and Q44FS from downtown Flushing to the Flushing Parking Field surrounded by 37th Avenue, Union Street, 138th Street, and 39th Avenue on a six-month pilot basis. The change, which was made at the request of multiple Queens elected officials, was intended to provide shelter for riders and reduce downtown congestion. However, due to immediate opposition from shoppers, who complained that the change forced them to walk four blocks to get from the subway to the buses, businessmen, and elected officials, on July 20, 1966, the NYCTA announced that it would undo the change on July 24. Q13, Q16, and Q28 service would go back to terminating on the north side of Roosevelt Avenue to the east of Main Street, while Q14 and Q44FS service would resume terminating on the east side of Main Street at 39th Avenue.[ 224] [ 225]
In December 2000, the MTA announced a proposed extension to the route to 150th Street and Third Avenue in Whitestone to provide service one- and two-family homes that were newly developed on a former country club between Seventh Avenue and Third Avenue, and to eliminate the route's problematic existing turnaround in a residential neighborhood at its terminal at Clintonville Street and Seventh Avenue. Buses had to turn around a small traffic island on a steep hill by making a right turn from Seventh Avenue to Clintonville Street, a left onto 151st Street, and then a left onto Seventh Avenue. Instead of turning east onto Seventh Avenue, buses would continue north along 150th Street to a new terminal at Third Avenue. Southbound buses would turn west on Third Avenue, south on 149th Street east on Fifth Avenue, and then turn back south onto 150th Street. The extension had been requested by Community Board 7 on behalf of residents of the new housing. A customer survey found that 25 percent of riders who boarded the bus on Seventh Avenue lived north of Sixth Avenue. The extension was expected to cost $10,000 a year, and was to take effect in March 2001.[ 226]
Discontinued on June 27, 2010, due to budget crisis.[ 227]

On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a large number of changes to city bus service to take effect January 22, 1957. One of the changes was to extend the Q17 to replace Q30 service. The change would eliminate duplication with the Q25 bus route of the Queens-Nassau Transit company between Jamaica and College Point.[ 234] The change took effect on February 3, 1957, and the route was discontinued.[ 235] [ 236] : 37

In March 1949, the Greater Bayside Bus Coordinating Committee was organized at the request of Greater Bayside Citizens Association, with representatives from local civic groups. It created a plan for improvements in bus service, with the main element being proposed crosstown bus service on Springfield Boulevard. The Oakland Gardens Civic Association and the Businessmen's Association were the groups that led the push for Springfield Boulevard service.[ 237]
On October 27, 1949, Queens Borough President Maurice A. FitzGerald sent a letter to Transportation Commissioner William Ried on October 27, 1949, detailing his strong support for the proposed routes on Springfield Boulevard.[ 237]
On April 4, 1950, the Board of Estimate approved plans from the Board of Transportation to extend the Q27 2.5 miles along Springfield Boulevard, and to create a new branch of the Q31, the Q31A, running along Springfield Boulevard between Queens Village and Bayside West. The route would be 5.4 miles long. It was expected that the changes would be implemented in two weeks. FitzGerald stated that his initial request that the line along Springfield Boulevard head to Merrick Road was not implemented due to sewer construction, and that he would again request that the full extension be implemented after that work was completed.[ 237]
Service, also known as the Bayside West-Queens Village route, began on April 30, 1950, via Bell Boulevard and Springfield Boulevard.[ 238] : 16 [ 239]

On September 21, 1989, the NYCTA held a public hearing for its proposed discontinuation of the route. Speakers at the public hearing said that ridership on the route would increase significantly if it ran during middays, and that some people would have to walk at least a mile to get to stops on the Q44. The 2.1 miles (3.4 km)-long route ran between Third Avenue near the Whitestone Expressway and 14th Avenue and Parsons Boulevard.[ 266] The route was scheduled to be discontinued due to low ridership; it was used by an average of 67 to 95 passengers per day.[ 267] Service on the route ran between 7 and 9 a.m. and 2:48 and 7 p.m., and did not operate on weekends. The route ran 18 trips per day, and was well below the MTA's loading guidelines. Within the following two months, the proposal was sent to the MTA board for approval.

LaGuardia Airport
Operated by Two Borough Express Incorporated, a subsidiary of Triboro Coach. The subsidiary was created to simplify bidding for the route, which did not receive a public subsidy. Within the contract for the one-year franchise for the route was a clause allowing for the cancellation of the route with a six months' notice, included in part because of the fear of subway crime on the part of the president of Two Boroughs Express. The president hoped to give the route at least a year, and hoped that the route would be used by at least 2,000 passengers per day.[ 277] Six buses were bought from Triboro Coach for the service. It cost $122,000 to start up the service.[ 278]
Service began on September 17, 1990, with a $5 fare and operated between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., every 20 minutes and 7 days a week.
Nicknamed "QT" bus route, with the QT short for LaGuardia Express Quick Trip.
The bus followed a 6.1 miles (9.8 km)-long route, and took 20 minutes to complete a trip.
The route was marketed toward business travelers looking for a cheaper way to get to the Airports, and was intended to be an alternative to cabs and airport buses from Manhattan.
Service was discontinued in May 1991.

Sunday service was discontinued on February 3, 1959.[ 248]
In August 1979, the NYCTA proposed eliminating Saturday bus service because of their low usage, with 13 riders per trip, and to save $60,000 annually. This was proposed as part of a series of cuts to save $1.4 million. Saturday service ran every 20 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 1:30 a.m.[ 283] [ 284] The public hearing was held on September 12, 1979.[ 285] On September 19, 1979, in response to a campaign in opposition to the change, led by State Senator Gary Ackerman and Rose Simon, who chaired an "Ad Hoc Committee to Save the Q75", the NYCTA agreed to continue operating Saturday service on the route.[ 286]
On December 11, 1988, the route was extended from 179th Street station to the 165th Street Terminal in conjunction with the opening of the Archer Avenue Line.[ 213]
On June 15, 1989, a public hearing was held on the planned elimination of Saturday service. Saturday service ran every 30 minutes between 5:30 a.m. and 1:20 a.m.. The average ridership on Saturday was five passengers per trip. The NYCTA noted that there was frequent bus service on alternate routes. The annual cost saving was $72,000.[ 287]
In December 1990, local officials stated that the route could be one of the routes to be cut by the NYCTA as part of its $25 million citywide cut in bus service and asked the president of the NYCTA to hold a public hearing. While a TA spokesman denied that the Q75 was part of the plan, the head of Amalgamated Transit Union local 1056, Jerry Fancher, said that he saw an interdepartmental memo saying that service on the route would be cut.[ 288]
On February 4, 1991, a public hearing was held on the planned span reduction on the Q75, which was to be part of the 1991 Service Plan. At the meeting, the public requested that midday service be maintained to provide a connection to shopping and the subway. Some suggested that it be replaced by an extension of the Q65A, but this was dismissed since it was operated by Queens Surface.
While the original proposal called for greater cuts on the route, the proposal presented to the MTA Board in May 1994 affected fewer passengers. The proposal would have eliminated late evening service between 9:00 p.m. and 1:20 a.m., which was only used by 15 passengers, or an average of fewer than a person per trip. The proposal was set to go into effect in September 1994, limiting the route's hours of operation to 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., saving $100,000 annually.[ 289] : D.4–D.7

However, due to requests by the Queens Borough President and civic groups, the cut was averted. Instead, free transfers were made available at the terminal in Laurelton.[ 234] Sunday service was discontinued on February 3, 1957,[ 248] but was restored on August 4. On August 24, 1957, the NYCTA announced that this service would be discontinued on September 8 if ridership did not increase. The NYCTA had lost $30 each Sunday the service was operated.[ 295]

The new route was proposed in March 1986 to serve the newly opened South Jamaica Multi-Service Center. Service was initially planned to operate from Mondays through Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.. The New York City Board of Estimate was scheduled to vote on the proposed route in April 1986. Service was to be operated between 132nd Place and Rockaway Boulevard to 168th Street and Archer Avenue, running via Rockaway Boulevard, Lincoln Street, Linden Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard and Archer Avenue.[ 305]
Service on the route was scheduled to begin around May 1, 1986, as soon as signs designated the route's stops were installed along the route by the Department of Traffic. Service on the route started after an agreement was reached between Green Bus Lines, the city's Bureau of Franchises and Community Board 12. The Board had sought the creation of the new bus route to help riders traveling between St. Albans or Cambria Heights and South Ozone Park. The Q9A began service operating on weekdays only between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.. Unlike the initial proposal, service began at Lincoln Street and Rockaway Boulevard. In both plans, service made no stops between the turn onto Merrick Boulevard and the terminal.[ 306] [ 307]
