About the route

The proposed QM44 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Third Avenue, and outbound (eastbound) to Electchester.

The proposed length of the QM44 Express route is 11.2 miles. 

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,090 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,295 feet. 

 

Route Improvements 

  • Improved stop spacing

Review the QM44 route summary

The proposed QM44 would maintain its existing routing. 

To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM44 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM44 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan. 

Weekday AM 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.
