About the route

The proposed Q27 Rush runs northbound to Flushing and southbound to Cambria Heights.

The proposed length of the Q27 Rush route is 9.4 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 673 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,201 feet.

The route would include connections to the Q1, Q2, Q4, Q17, Q19, Q25, Q27, Q30, Q31, Q36, Q43, Q46, Q48, Q50, Q51, Q62, Q65, Q66, Q75, Q76, Q77, Q82, Q83, Q88, and Q110. It would also connect to the train and the Long Island Rail Road.

Review the Q27 route summary

The proposed Q27 routing would remain mostly unchanged with only a small realignment from Holly Av and Kissena Blvd to Parsons Blvd and Sanford Av, avoiding narrow streets and improving performance and reliability.

To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, the Q27 would make local stops along Springfield Blvd and 47/48 Avs, while stops along 46 Av would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points. The proposed Q26 would provide local service where the Q27 makes limited stops. The proposed Q27 would still make local stops along 46 Av and Parsons Blvd overnight.

Frequencies would be reduced to reallocate some service to the proposed Q26 Local. Service would continue to operate 24 hours on weekdays and weekends.
