About the route
The proposed Q12 Limited runs westbound to Flushing and eastbound to Little Neck.
The proposed length of the Q12 Limited route is 6 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 884 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,208 feet.
The route would include connections to the Q13, Q15, Q16, Q28, Q31, Q36, Q61, and Q76. It would also connect to the train and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- More direct routing
- New connections

- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q12 route summary
The proposed Q12 routing would be realigned on its western end to serve Northern Blvd instead of Sanford Av, to provide continuous frequent service along the entire Northern Blvd corridor from Little Neck to Flushing. The proposed Q65 would provide local service along Sanford Av, along with the proposed Q13 at major transfer points.
To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q12 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
Weekday and weekend frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods. No span changes are being proposed at this time.
