Review the Q61 route summary
The proposed Q61 would be a new Rush route connecting Fort Totten to Flushing via Willets Point Blvd, replacing the existing Q16 service there. This would provide a faster, more direct trip into Flushing for riders along the route. Service on Bayside Av and Utopia Pkwy would still be provided by the proposed Q16. Service along Francis Lewis Blvd would still be provided by the proposed Q76, but would not go directly to Flushing.
To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q61 stops along Cross Island Pkwy and Willets Point Blvd would be spaced slightly further apart than existing and the route would make limited-stops along Union St to Flushing. The proposed Q16, Q20, and Q44 would provide access to stops along the limited-stop portion on Union St.
The proposed Q61 would operate weekdays only and frequencies would resemble the existing Q16 along Willets Point Blvd.
