About the route
The proposed Q38 Local runs westbound to Maspeth and eastbound to Rego Park.
The proposed length of the Q38 Local route is 4.1 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 767 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 915 feet.
The route would include connections to the Q14, Q23, Q29, Q47, Q52, Q53, Q54, Q58, Q59, Q60, Q67, Q72, Q88, and Q98. It would also connect to the trains.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- Improved frequency
Review the Q38 route summary
The proposed Q38 would be split and would no longer operate as a loop route. Service along 62/63 Dr, Penelope Av, Juniper Valley Rd, and Metropolitan Av would be maintained, while service along Eliot Av would be replaced by the proposed Q14, creating new connections to East Elmhurst and Maspeth.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q38 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Frequencies would be slightly increased on weekdays and weekends. Service spans would be slightly expanded.
