Review the Q45 route summary
The proposed Q45 would be a new route serving the heaviest ridership section of Union Turnpike from 188 St in Fresh Meadows to Queens Blvd. This route would provide service to stops on Union Turnpike west of 188 St, where the proposed Q46 and Q48 Rush routes would make limited stops.
To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q45 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
Frequencies would be 10 minutes-or-better all-day on weekdays and service would operate 24 hours on weekdays and weekends.
