Proposed Final Plan Addendum: QM68 Express

Floral Park - Midtown
Associated existing route: X68

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

About the route

The X68 will be renamed the QM68. All Midtown-bound QM68 trips will make stops on 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Service on 34 St, 42 St, 3 Av, and 5 Av will be discontinued. The Queens-bound QM68 routing in Manhattan will not change. AM peak frequencies will decrease slightly and service spans will change due to low ridership.

Stop spacing

  • Existing: 2,374 ft
  • Proposed: 2,200 ft

Changes from Proposed Final Plan

  • Stops: Minor stop balancing
