About the route

The proposed QM32 Express runs inbound (westbound) to Midtown Manhattan via Third Avenue, and outbound (eastbound) to Bay Terrace.

The proposed length of the QM32 Express is 15.8 miles.

In the existing route, the average stop spacing is 1,778 feet. Under the proposed route, that would increase to 1,820 feet.

Review the QM32 route summary

The proposed QM32 would maintain its existing routing.

To match stop spacing on other local portions of Express routes, QM32 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to speed up travel time and improve reliability. Along the highway, the QM32 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan.

Weekday peak frequencies and spans would be slightly adjusted to match ridership patterns. Queens-bound service in the AM peak would be discontinued.
