Proposed Final Plan Addendum: QM64 Express

Elmont - Midtown
Associated existing routes: X64

For languages other than English, use the Google Translate tool at the bottom of this page. 

About the route

The X64 will be renamed the QM64. The route will be extended into Elmont to a new stop at Elmont Rd/Dutch Broadway to improve connections. Midtown-bound QM64 trips will make stops on 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Service on 3 and 5 Avs will be discontinued. The Queens-bound QM64 routing in Manhattan will not change. AM peak frequencies will decrease slightly due to low ridership.

Stop spacing

  • Existing: 2,021 ft
  • Proposed: 2,238 ft

Changes from Proposed Final Plan

  • Stops: Added eastbound stop at Queens Blvd/83 Av to match westbound
