Review the Q24 route summary
The proposed Q24 would be shortened on its western end to Broadway Junction and realigned in Jamaica to improve service reliability.
In Brooklyn, service on the discontinued portion of Broadway would be replaced with the new proposed B53 as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign. Bus service changes in Brooklyn are still being reviewed and will be finalized as part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign Proposed Final Plan.
In Jamaica, the route would no longer serve Jamaica Hospital and would terminate on 89 Av/Parsons Blvd instead of Archer Av/Merrick Blvd. Service to Jamaica Hospital would be provided by the nearby Q54 or Q56.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q24 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
No frequency or service span changes are being proposed at this time.
