About the route

The proposed Q55 Local runs westbound to Ridgewood and eastbound to Richmond Hill. 

The proposed length of the Q55 Local route is 4.5 miles. 

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 703 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,137 feet. 

The route would include connections to the B7, B13, B26, B38, B52, B54, Q10, Q11, Q14, Q20, Q29, Q39, Q52, Q53, Q54, Q56, Q58, Q60, and Q98. It would also connect to the  trains and the Long Island Rail Road.

Route Improvements

  • Interborough route
  • Improved stop spacing

Review the Q55 route summary

The proposed Q55 would mostly maintain its existing routing with a small extension to the 121 St  train station to provide better connectivity to the subway.

To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q55 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up buses and improve reliability.

Weekday frequencies would be slightly adjusted. No service span changes are being proposed at this time.
