About the route
The proposed Q43 Rush runs westbound to Jamaica and eastbound to Floral Park.
The proposed length of the Q43 Rush route is 6.7 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 777 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,067 feet.
The route would include connections to the Q1, Q6, Q8, Q9, Q20, Q24, Q25, Q30, Q31, Q36, Q40, Q41, Q44, Q54, Q56, Q60, Q65, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q114, and Q115. It would also connect to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- Fewer route patterns
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q43 route summary
The proposed Q43 would maintain its existing routing. Only stop changes are proposed.
To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q43 stops along Hillside Av east of Springfield Blvd would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops along Hillside Av west of Springfield Blvd would be located at key destinations and major transfer points. The proposed Q1 would provide all-day frequent service to local stops along Hillside Av, along with several other routes.
Frequencies would be slightly decreased to reallocate some service to the proposed Q1. Service would still operate 24 hours.
