About the route
The proposed QM64 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Madison Avenue, and outbound (eastbound) to Elmont.
The proposed length of the QM64 Express route is 19.7 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 2,021 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 2,338 feet.
Route Improvements
- New connections
- Improved stop spacing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the QM64 route summary
The existing X64 would be re-labeled as the QM64 to be consistent with most Express routes. In Queens, the route would be extended into Elmont via Elmont Rd. 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 QM64 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, QM64 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM64 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.
Weekday AM peak frequencies would be slightly reduced due to low ridership on some trips. Service spans would be slightly adjusted to accommodate new frequencies and running times.
