About the route

The proposed Q35 Rush runs between Midwood and Rockaway Park.

Review the Q35 route summary

As part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign, the proposed Q35 Rush would be rerouted in the Rockaways from Newport Av to Rockaway Beach Blvd, replacing Q22 service in that segment and improving speed and reliability. The route would also be extended east from Beach 116 St to Beach 108 St to provide connections to the ferry, Scholars’ Academy, and other destinations.

As a new “Rush” route with a local and non-stop portion, stops along Rockaway Beach Blvd would be spaced slightly farther apart than existing, while stops along Flatbush Av would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points.

No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
