About the route

The proposed QM20 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Willets Pt Blvd, and outbound (eastbound) to Bay Terrace.

The proposed length of the QM20 Express route is 15.7 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,245 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,367 feet.

Fewer route patterns
NYC DOT Priority Corridor

Review the QM20 route summary

The proposed QM20 would maintain its existing routing.

To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM20 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM20 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.

Weekday peak and midday frequencies would be reduced to match ridership patterns. Service would continue to operate during the same hours in both directions.
