About the route
The proposed QM40 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Third Avenue, and outbound (eastbound) to LeFrak City.
The proposed length of the QM40 Express is 9.7 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,208 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,302 feet.
Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the QM40 route summary
The proposed QM40 would maintain its existing routing.
To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM40 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM40 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.
Weekday PM peak frequencies would be slightly reduced due to low ridership on some trips. Service would continue to operate during the same hours in both directions.
