About the route
The proposed QM18 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Sixth Avenue, and outbound (eastbound) to South Ozone Park.
The proposed length of the QM18 Express route is 15.3 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,577 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,734 feet.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the QM18 route summary
The proposed QM18 would maintain its existing routing.
To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM18 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM18 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.
No frequency changes are being proposed. Service would continue to operate during the same hours in both directions.
