Review the QM2 route summary
The proposed QM2 would maintain its existing routing. Along the highway, the QM2 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.
Weekday peak and midday frequencies would be reduced due to low ridership on some trips. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
