Proposed Final Plan: QM63 Express

The existing X63 would be re-labeled as the QM63 to be consistent with most Express routes. The existing routing in Rosedale would be realigned from Francis Lewis Blvd to Hook Creek Blvd to provide straighter, more direct service, and to avoid a difficult turn. The routing in Manhattan would be reconfigured in both directions to follow the path of the QM21 via 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Although the QM63 would no longer serve 3 Av in the westbound direction, the proposed routing is more direct and would bring riders to their destination faster. 

To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM63 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM63 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan. 

Weekday peak frequencies would be slightly decreased due to low ridership on some trips. Service spans would be slightly adjusted to accommodate new frequencies and running times.
