About the route

The X63 will be renamed the QM63. In Queens, the QM63 will be rerouted to use 249 St instead of Sunrise Hwy in both directions to avoid a difficult turn. Midtown-bound QM63 trips will make stops on 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Service on 3 and 5 Avs will be discontinued. The Queens-bound QM63 routing in Manhattan will not change. Peak frequency will decrease slightly, and service spans will change in response to low ridership.

Stop spacing

Existing: 1,358 ft
Proposed: 1,382 ft

Changes from Proposed Final Plan

Stops: Minor stop balancing
Routing: Revised routing in Rosedale in response to public feedback
