About the route
The proposed Q6 Limited runs southbound to the JFK Airport Cargo Area and northbound to Jamaica.
The proposed length of the Q6 Limited route is 5.2 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 852 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,314 feet.
The proposed route would connect to the Q1, Q3, Q7, Q8, Q9, Q17, Q20, Q24, Q30, Q31, Q40, Q41, Q43, Q44, Q51, Q54, Q55, Q56, Q60, Q65, Q77, Q110, and Q112.
It would also connect to the trains.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q6 route summary
The proposed Q6 would maintain its existing routing. To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q6 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
Weekday frequencies would be slightly decreased to match ridership patterns. Service would continue to operate 24 hours.
