About the route
The proposed Q32 Local runs westbound to Penn Station and eastbound to Jackson Heights.
The proposed length of the Q32 Local route is 7.3 miles.
In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 733 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 995 feet.
The route would connect to the B53, B57, Q18, Q29, Q33, Q39, Q47, Q49, Q53, Q60, Q63, Q66, Q68, Q69, Q70, Q101, Q104, and Q105. It would also connect to the trains, as well as the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad.
Route Improvements
- Interborough route
- Improved stop spacing
- More direct routing
- NYC DOT Priority Corridor
Review the Q32 route summary
The proposed Q32 would mostly maintain its existing routing except for a minor change. In the westbound direction approaching the Queensboro Bridge, buses would no longer travel around Dutch Kills Green via 41 Av and Queens Plaza North, avoiding a congested route deviation. As a result, buses would no longer stop on Queens Plaza North, and would approach the bridge directly from Queens Blvd.
To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q32 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.
Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
