About the route
The proposed Q66 Limited runs westbound to Hunter's Point and eastbound to Flushing.
The proposed length of the Q66 Limited route is 6.5 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,109 feet. Under the proposed route, that would decrease to 1,064 feet.
The route would include connections to the Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15, Q17, Q18, Q19, Q20, Q23, Q25, Q26, Q27, Q32, Q33, Q39, Q44, Q47, Q49, Q50, Q62, Q66, Q69, Q72, Q101, Q104, and Q105. It would also connect to the trains, as well as the Long Island Rail Road.

Review the Q66 route summary
The proposed Q66 Rush would be straightened to provide faster service along the entire Northern Blvd corridor. Instead of diverting to 35 Av, the Q66 would provide more direct service to Queens Plaza by continuing along Northern Blvd. Existing service along 35 Av and 21 St would be provided by the proposed new Q63 Local, which complements the Q66 along Northern Blvd.
To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q66 stops along Northern Blvd between Flushing and 49 St would have local stop spacing, while stops between 49 St and Queens Plaza would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points.
Although frequencies would be split between the Q63 and Q66, Northern Blvd would see an increase in service with the Q63 and Q66 combined. Service would continue to operate 24 hours.
