About the route
The proposed Q10 Limited route runs northbound to Kew Gardens and southbound to JFK Airport.
The proposed length of the Q10 Limited route is 4 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 931 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,362 feet.
The route would include connections to the B55, Q3, Q7, Q8, Q24, Q37, Q41, Q46, Q48, Q51, Q54, Q55, Q56, Q60, and Q112. It would also include connections to the trains and the Long Island Rail Road.
Route Improvements
- More direct routing
- Improved stop spacing
- Fewer route patterns
- Improved frequency
Review the Q10 route summary
The proposed Q10 would serve the entire Lefferts Blvd corridor on all trips, terminating at the Lefferts Blvd AirTrain to JFK Airport (the existing Limited branch), instead of serving Rockaway Blvd and 130 St (the existing Local branch). This shorter, more direct routing allows resources to be concentrated on the Lefferts Blvd corridor, increasing speed and reliability, and simplifying service. Service on segments of the existing Q10 Local branch would be provided by the proposed Q3, Q7, Q9, and Q37.
To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q10 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.
Although frequencies at select time periods would see a slight decrease, the proposed Q10 overall would see an increase in service. Service would continue to operate 24 hours.
