Review the Q63 route summary
The proposed Q63 would be a new route complementing the Q66 along Northern Blvd. The Q63 would provide service to 35 Av while the proposed Q66 Rush route would be straightened to provide more direct service to Queens Plaza.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q63 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Although frequencies would be split between the Q63 and Q66, Northern Blvd would see an increase in service with the Q63 and Q66 combined. Weekday service would operate between 4:30 AM and 1:00 AM.
