About the route

The proposed Q36 Rush runs westbound to Jamaica and eastbound to Little Neck.

The proposed length of the Q36 Rush route is 9.6 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 780 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,227 feet.

The proposed route would connect to the Q1, Q2, Q3, Q12, Q17, Q30, Q31, Q43, Q46, Q48, Q75, Q76, Q77, and Q82.

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

Route Improvements

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

Review the Q36 route summary

The proposed Q36 would become a Rush route from Little Neck Pkwy to Jamaica, providing faster and more reliable service. The route would also be realigned to serve Springfield Blvd instead of 212 St/212 Pl, which would now be served by the proposed Q82. Additional service along Jamaica Av would be provided by the proposed Q110. 

To match stop spacing on other local and limited-stop portions of Rush routes, Q36 stops along Little Neck Pkwy, Jamaica Av, and Springfield Blvd would be spaced slightly further apart than existing, while stops along Hillside Av would only be located at key destinations and major transfer points. For riders who need local service on Hillside Av, the Q1 would provide frequent service along the corridor. 

Frequency would improve on the existing Q36 branch to Little Neck. Service spans would be improved, but the route, like the existing Q36 branch to Little Neck, will operate only on weekdays.
