Review the Q98 route summary
As part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign, the proposed Q98 would be a new, faster alternative to the proposed Q58. The proposed Q98 would provide a more direct travel path from Ridgewood to Flushing via Queens Blvd, Horace Harding Expy and College Point Blvd, serving only key destinations and transfer points. Additionally, the route would operate mostly nonstop from Queens Center Mall to Flushing, while the proposed Q58 would continue to serve stops along Corona Av.
As a Crosstown/SBS route, stops would only be located at key destinations and transfer points to provide faster and more reliable service across the corridor.
Weekday frequency would be 10 minutes-or-better and service would operate 24 hours.
