About the route

The proposed Q30 Rush runs westbound to Jamaica and eastbound to Queensborough Community College.

The proposed length of the Q30 Rush route is 6 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 835 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,179 feet.

The proposed route would connect to the Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q8, Q9, Q17, Q20, Q24, Q27, Q31, Q36, Q40, Q41, Q43, Q44, Q45, Q46, Q48, Q54, Q56, Q60, Q75, Q76, Q77, Q82, and Q88.

It would also connect to the ​​​​​ trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Route Improvements

  • Improved stop spacing
  • Fewer route patterns
  • NYC DOT Priority Corridor
  • Improved frequency

Review the Q30 route summary

The proposed Q30 would become a Rush route to Queensborough Community College (QCC), providing faster and more reliable service from Jamaica. The existing Q30 branch to Little Neck would be replaced by the proposed new Q75 Rush route. Splitting the Q30 branches into two separate routes allows riders to better differentiate which route to take based on their destination. 

To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q30 stops along Horace Harding Expwy would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops along Utopia Pkwy would be located at key destinations and major transfer points. For riders who need to get on or off the bus on Utopia Pkwy, the proposed Q31 would provide Local service along that corridor. 

Weekday service would be increased from the existing Q30 branch to QCC. Service span would be extended to midnight.
