Review the QM65 Express route summary

The proposed QM65 would be a new downtown Express route serving southeast Queens via Merrick Blvd, Bedell St, Guy R. Brewer Blvd, and Linden Blvd, using a similar path as the QM63 and QM21. This new route would provide a new direct connection from Laurelton and Rochdale to downtown Manhattan. Along the highway, the QM65 would travel non-stop to and from Manhattan. A stop would also be added on E 34 St & 1 Av in Manhattan to serve the NYU Langone, Bellevue, and VA hospitals.

The proposed QM65 would operate every 30 minutes during weekday peak hours only.
