Introduction
Rush
The Queens Bus Network Redesign is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA)
larger effort to modernize New York City’s bus network and improve bus service borough by
borough. Over the last several decades, New York City has experienced a huge amount of growth
and change, but the bus network has not kept up with the evolving needs of our customers.
Meanwhile, bus ridership has decreased, buses have slowed down in ever-worsening traffic, and
reliability has declined. The MTA has made modest, incremental changes to individual routes over
the years, but a Bus Network Redesign is a rare opportunity to take a fresh look at the bus network
comprehensively, with the goal of meeting customers’ priorities: Reliable Service, Faster Travel,
Better Connections, and Simplified Service.
After releasing the Queens New Draft Plan in March 2022, we completed an extensive public
outreach process to engage with our riders and other stakeholders to collect feedback that
would inform the next phase of our planning process. The Proposed Final Plan is the product of
this feedback. In this report, we will discuss the Queens Bus Network Redesign process, what
we’ve heard through our outreach efforts, and how we have integrated this feedback to arrive at
our proposed bus network.
This report details proposed changes made to the routes, stops, frequencies, and spans of service
that make up the Queens bus network. It also demonstrates our new approach to providing bus
service—one that dynamically responds and adapts to the needs and travel patterns of customers
and allocates available resources where they will have the greatest impact. Therefore, our work on
the Queens bus network does not end with the release of this report. During the coming months, we
will engage with our customers, partners, and stakeholders to collect feedback on the Proposed
Final Plan to ensure we are meeting their varying needs as we work towards implementation. Our
public outreach process is laid out in more detail within the report.

PROJECT STATUS How Did We Get Here?
The Queens Bus Network Redesign launched in April 2019, with the first public outreach efforts
focused on surveying customers and hearing about their priorities for improving bus service in
Queens. We surveyed customers both online and in-person, held nine open houses throughout
Queens in May and June 2019, and conducted numerous on-street engagement events to help
spread awareness of the project.
Following the public open houses, we continued to gather data and produced our Existing
Conditions Report. The report was released in September 2019, and outlined key metrics such
as population, employment, and demographic trends in Queens and analyzed how current bus
service operates in the borough.
In December 2019, we released the Queens Bus Network Redesign Draft Plan which presented a
completely new bus network for Queens, with goals and strategies focusing on Reliable Service,
Faster Travel, Better Connections, and Simplified Service. For three months following the release
we conducted dozens of outreach events all over Queens including: workshops; open houses;
community board presentations; briefings with elected officials, civic organizations, transit
advocates, and other stakeholders; as well as direct outreach to customers at subway stations
and bus hubs. Those efforts garnered over 11,000 comments before the project was paused.
In March 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the difficult decision to pause
the bus network redesign initiative to ensure that resources were concentrated where needed
most—specifically moving our essential workers as quickly and safely as possible to address the
public health emergency. During this pause we analyzed public comments and based on what we
heard, we decided to withdraw the original Draft Plan and restart the initiative by taking a fresh
look at the Queens bus network through the lens of these customer comments.

Introduction
Rush
In March 2022, we released the New Draft Plan – a reimagined plan, driven by customer feedback.
In this plan we worked to address major customer concerns while still balancing tradeoffs and
applying network redesign strategies and best practices to improve the bus network. We restarted
our public outreach process with the goal of giving all Queens bus customers an opportunity
to see the proposed network and weigh in by providing feedback to further refine the plan. We
held 14 virtual public workshops, focusing each workshop on a different Community District,
5 in-person Open Houses at central locations, and 15 in-person pop-up events paired with the
MetroCard Mobile Sales Van. Additionally, we engaged with elected officials, labor partners,
advocates, community organizations, and other stakeholders to further collect feedback and
expand awareness. We received comments through these events and through commenting tools
on our website, including the comment portal, Remix interactive map, emails, letters, and 511.
Through these outreach efforts, we collected highly

constructive feedback and spent the following months
analyzing the comments we received. We identified several
key takeaways and analyzed targeted feedback on specific
routes, stops, frequencies, and spans of service. This
feedback became the primary input for the development
and refinement of the Queens bus network proposed in
this report.
Where Are We Now?

We are excited to release the next iteration of the Queens
Bus Network Redesign—the Proposed Final Plan. In this
plan we have worked to address major customer concerns,
striking a balance between the varying needs of all
stakeholders, while applying network redesign strategies
to improve the bus network. To those acquainted with
the New Draft Plan, many of the proposed bus routes will
look familiar. Some proposals have been modified, some
withdrawn, and others are brand new. These changes
are built upon the feedback we received and guided by
our network redesign strategies: improving route design,
increasing frequency, balancing bus stops, expanding
connectivity, simplifying service, expanding accessibility,
improving transit equity, and expanding bus priority.

Introduction
Rush
How Can You Provide Feedback?
Following the release of the Proposed Final Plan, we will conduct another round of outreach
to share the report with our customers and stakeholders and gather additional input. Public
engagement activities will include:
• Presentations to all 14 Community Boards in Queens

• In-Person Open Houses
• Pop-up events and on-street outreach
Through these events, we will provide customers with information about the proposed changes,
promote awareness of the project, and offer opportunities for questions, comments, and concerns
regarding the proposed routes, bus stops, and schedules.
Riders are also invited to comment on the Proposed Final Plan by visiting the Queens Bus Network
Redesign microsite at new.mta.info/project/queens-bus-network-redesign and accessing our
comment portal.
Customers will have the opportunity to visualize the proposed network in detail in Remix, an
interactive web-based mapping tool, which has a geographic commenting feature for route–
specific comments.
A trip planner tool will be available via the project microsite where riders can test their trips in the
new network to better understand how their trip might be improved with the new bus network.
Customers can also comment by phone using 511. Here are some tips on how to navigate the 511
phone system: new.mta.info/contact-us/call-us.
Written comments on the plan can be sent by mail to: MTA New York City Transit, Government and
Community Relations, 2 Broadway, New York, NY 10004
You can also chat with us on social media:
• WhatsApp – mta.info/whatsapp
• Facebook – facebook.com/MTA
Links to all resources will be shared on the microsite as well as on each of the route profiles in this
document. Feedback from this round of outreach will be used to make final changes before the
redesign goes to the MTA Board for consideration.

Introduction
Rush
What’s Next?
After completing our Proposed Final Plan outreach process, we will hold a Public Hearing following
all regulations and statutes and factor in comments to inform any final changes to the bus network.
Once these changes are finalized, the redesigned network will go before the MTA Board for a
vote. If approved, we would then prepare for project implementation over the following months.
Prior to implementation, we will ensure that any changes made will be done so with clarity and
transparency. You will continue to hear from us as we get closer to implementation.
WHY REDESIGN THE QUEENS BUS NETWORK?

With 115 bus routes that serve roughly 800,000 riders on an average weekday (pre-pandemic),
the borough of Queens has more bus routes and bus riders than any other borough. Nearly 52
percent of Queens residents rely on public transit for their daily commutes and at least 11 percent
commute primarily by bus. Over the years, Queens has grown and changed, resulting in shifting
demographics and travel patterns. However, the Queens bus network has not substantially
changed in decades, resulting in declining ridership, bus speeds, and reliability. Over the years,
we have made minor changes to the network, but have not kept pace with the major growth and
change Queens is experiencing. The Bus Network Redesign initiative is our opportunity to align
with this change, improve service, and better meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Ridership Decline
From 2014 to 2019, bus ridership in Queens declined by 5.3 percent. The decline in ridership can
be attributed to a variety of factors, including slower speeds; decreased reliability; modal shifts to
other transportation, including the subway and Transportation Network Companies (TNCs); and
demographic changes.
During the height of the pandemic, bus ridership in Queens fell to roughly 46 percent of pre-
pandemic levels. However, ridership has slowly continued to recover as customers return to their
daily activities.
Slow Bus Speeds

Prior to the pandemic average bus speeds had been declining systemwide for several years.
Congestion, particularly in areas such as downtown Flushing and Jamaica, is an ongoing
challenge to providing fast and reliable bus service for Queens residents and employees. In
2019, average bus speeds in Queens were the second highest of the five boroughs at 8.7 miles
per hour (MPH). However, that number is a 3 percent decrease from the average speed in 2015
(9.0 MPH). Even small decreases in bus speeds can have a cascading effect on customers’
overall travel times.

Introduction
Rush
Congestion is the leading cause of declining bus speeds and service reliability in Queens.
It is often worse on key corridors and choke points, amplifying its detrimental effect on bus speeds
and in turn the reliability of bus service. This further deters would-be customers from choosing to
take the bus.
Reliability Decline
Our customers told us what our metrics also show: that Queens buses are often slow, get stuck in
traffic, and often arrive late or bunched together. The on-time performance for Queens bus routes
decreased 12 percent from 2014 to 2018. The average Queens bus rider had a Customer Journey
Time Performance (CJTP) of 70 percent prior to the pandemic (CJTP measures the percentage
of trips completed within five minutes of the scheduled time). More information about how we
measure bus service and other performance metrics can be found at metrics.mta.info.
During the height of the pandemic service reliability briefly improved due to less traffic on the roads.
However, much of that congestion has since returned, and reliability has begun to decrease back
to pre-pandemic levels.
Bus Stop Spacing

Bus stops spaced close together are another reason for slow bus speeds and poor reliability in
Queens. With an average of 909 feet between stops, buses are often stopping as frequently as
every one or two blocks. This is shorter than the distance between stops in international peer
transit systems around the world, which typically range from 1,000 to 1,680 feet.
When a bus stops more frequently along a route, exiting, stopping, and re-entering the flow
of traffic, it loses speed, increases customers’ travel time, and increases the chance of delays.
By rationalizing the distance between stops and preserving stops with high ridership and at key
destinations buses can keep moving with the flow of traffic and get customers where they need
to go faster.
We have found that removing one stop saves about 20 seconds per trip—and potentially more
during peak periods. Over the course of a whole route, this can translate to a significant savings in
the amount of time a customer spends on the bus.
Importantly, right-sizing bus stop spacing would not change the MTA’s existing “Request a Stop”
policy that is in effect during late nights on local bus routes and express bus routes in their non-
express segments. From 10 PM to 5 AM, customers can ask their bus operator to let them off
at locations that are not bus stops. The operator will then find a safe place along the route to
stop the bus. This service is not available on SBS or Limited bus routes, the nonstop segments
of express bus routes, or shuttle buses. More information about riding with us is available at
https://new.mta.info/guides/riding-the-bus.

Introduction
CUSTOMER PRIORITIES
This section outlines the four different customer priorities that we heard during our initial outreach
sessions at the start of the project. These four priorities represent the goals for the Queens Bus
Network Redesign.
5 Reliable Service
Customers told us that Queens buses are unreliable. Buses don’t arrive when expected, and
when they do arrive, they are often bunched together, further increasing wait times, and causing
overcrowding. We aim to improve reliability by employing Bus Network Redesign strategies such
as increasing frequency, reducing turns on routes, avoiding bottlenecks where possible, bus stop
balancing, and by working with our partners at the New York City Department of Transportation
(NYC DOT) to prioritize buses on the road.
6 Faster Travel
Speeding up travel times on the bus was another high priority for Queens bus riders. Due to the
lack of subways in certain parts of the borough, Queens bus riders often spend more time on
the bus than in other boroughs. Buses are often slow due to congestion and lack of bus priority
infrastructure. Buses are also slower on indirect, meandering routes with too many turns and
closely spaced bus stops. Bus Network Redesign strategies such as straightening and simplifying
routes, balancing bus stops, and developing new service patterns and route types (e.g., Rush
routes) can help move riders to their destinations quicker.
7 Better Connections
Customers want to go more places, faster. While part of the solution certainly involves speeding
up buses, there are other things we can do, like filling gaps in the bus network and establishing
new connections between other bus routes, subways lines, and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR).
Since the bus network has not changed much in the past decades, there are many pairs of origins
and destinations that are not served well. These include both trips within Queens and trips from
Queens to other boroughs. Customers often called out challenges traveling to Brooklyn, stating
that the existing bus network lacks frequent and direct service between the two boroughs. We
aim to improve connections by realigning and extending routes to fill gaps in the bus network, and
by creating new routes that offer new connections that don’t exist today.

Introduction
8 Simplified Service
Customers want the whole process of riding the bus to be easier—from figuring out which bus to
take, to finding the right bus stop, to paying and boarding, and knowing when to get off. Riding the
bus can be daunting for those who have never done it before.
Customers noted that many routes that primarily travel on one street do not always continue on
that same street for their full length, making the bus network unnecessarily complicated. Riders
have also remarked about the confusing nature of route variations—when one bus route has two
or more destinations or service patterns. To make the bus network easier to understand, we’ve
employed strategies such as aligning routes to operate on one main corridor; proposing new
route types, which establish a clear purpose for the route; or by separating route variations with
district route labels.

What Customers Want
Rush
Customer feedback from the New Draft Plan was crucial in the development of the Proposed Final
Plan. During the spring and summer of 2022, we completed dozens of public outreach events,
including virtual workshops, in-person Open Houses and pop-up events, elected official briefings,
and presentations to other stakeholders. To raise awareness about the project, we marketed the
New Draft Plan through various means, from handing out brochures in key locations to displaying
updates on digital screens in buses and throughout the MTA system. We solicited comments on
the plan at public meetings and via the MTA project website, Remix platform, and other means.
Through these public outreach efforts, we received about 4,000 comments, which we used to
inform the changes made between the New Draft Plan and the Proposed Final Plan.
In the following months, we undertook a deep analysis of the comments we had received, most of
which focused on routing proposals and bus stops. Reactions to the New Draft Plan were generally
much more positive than those received on the original Draft Plan. However, we knew there was
still work to be done. Commenters clearly identified proposals they liked, proposals they didn’t,
and proposals we needed to work on. We have summarized these comments into the following
key takeaways below.

What Customers Want
Rush
WHAT WE HEARD DURING PUBLIC OUTREACH
Comments on the New Draft Plan centered around these five categories:
Proposed Routing
•C
ustomers were concerned with certain proposed route extensions/combinations
(e.g., Q10), route realignments (e.g., Q23), and route shortenings (e.g., Q17).
ome new route proposals were well-received (e.g., new Q51 on Linden Boulevard), while
•S
others caused concern (e.g., new Q73 on 73 Avenue).
Connectivity
•C
ustomers liked the new interborough routes and other proposals that would expand the
reach of the Queens Bus Network into harder-to-reach areas (e.g., B57, B62, Q51, Q78).
•C
ustomers were concerned with the loss of direct connections to important community
destinations, such as schools and colleges, commercial districts, shopping malls, and
accessible transit connections (e.g., Q23, Q25, Q39, Q88).
Proposed Bus Stop Changes

•C
ustomers were more receptive to our revised bus stop balancing approach in the New Draft
Plan versus the original Draft Plan.
•C
ommenters provided helpful feedback on proposed routes with bus stops that they felt
were spaced too far apart and gave us specific feedback on stops that are important to their
communities.
Proposed Schedule Changes

•W
ith more specific frequency and span-of-service proposals in the New Draft Plan, riders
had a better understanding of our approach to adding and allocating frequency based on
route changes and community needs.
•R
iders were able to determine how their bus trips might be impacted and provided specific
feedback on proposals that would improve their travel versus those that would potentially
introduce inconveniences or hardships.
Operational Issues
•C
ustomers were concerned with some proposals to operate buses on problematic streets or
proposals to combine or extend bus routes that could create reliability issues
(e.g., Q1, Q10, Q19, Q25, Q73).

What Customers Want
HOW WE ADDRESSED WHAT WE HEARD
In developing the Proposed Final Plan, we have focused our efforts on improving upon the New
Draft Plan by addressing the issues identified in the public outreach key takeaways. We have
carried over the well-received elements of the plan, refined many proposals through customer
feedback, and developed new proposals based on customer suggestions. Throughout this
process, we have worked to balance the varying needs of our riders across the borough, while
maximizing resources to the best of our ability.
Here’s how we’ve specifically addressed the key takeaways identified in the previous section:
•W
e’ve evaluated every major routing concern from all stakeholders and determined the best
course of action based on customer needs and priorities, redesign strategies, and available
resources. Our stakeholders include customers, Bus Operators, Unions, Road Operations,
community groups, advocates, elected officials, city agencies, and more.
• We’ve maintained connections that are important to customers and their communities.
•W
e’ve modified routes and proposed new connections to fill gaps that customers identified,
further improving the connectivity and accessibility of the bus network.
•W
e’ve re-evaluated proposed bus stop spacing based on customer comments and
maintained specific stops that are important to our riders.
•W
e’ve modified our frequency and service span proposals based on customer comments,
route changes, ridership data, and available resources.
•W
e’ve carried over certain well-received proposals and withdrawn those that were
problematic.
Through these efforts, we believe we have arrived at a new bus network that addresses many
of the major customer concerns that we heard. However, this plan is not yet final. Redesigning
an entire bus network is a collaborative effort that involves customer feedback throughout the
process—hence the title, Proposed Final Plan. Following the release of this plan, we will continue
our public outreach efforts and provide plenty of opportunities for comment.
Through your feedback on this plan, we can balance network changes together and achieve a new
bus network that works towards achieving the four customer priorities identified at the onset of
this project: Reliable Service, Faster Travel, Better Connections, and Simplified Service. The next
section outlines the guiding principles of the Queens Bus Network Redesign and the strategies
we’ve used to achieve them.

Rush
HOW ARE WE REDESIGNING THE NETWORK?
The Queens Bus Network Redesign is driven by the four customer priorities detailed in the
previous chapter: Reliable Service, Faster Travel, Better Connections, and Simplified Service.
To address each of these priorities, we have used several different network redesign strategies.
Increase Frequency
Decreasing wait time and increasing frequency is a top priority for Queens bus riders. Consistent,
frequent bus service throughout the day provides customers with the ability to choose when they
travel, rather than letting the schedule decide for them.
However, with a fixed number of buses available in the fleet during peak hours, partly due to limited
space in bus depots as well as resource constraints, increasing frequency is not a simple task.
We have used the following network redesign strategies to increase frequency:
• W
e have focused frequency improvements on key corridors and in historically
disadvantaged neighborhoods, especially in areas far from the subway where
riders are more dependent on the bus.
• S
ome of these frequency improvements are possible due to reinvesting resources
gained by removing redundancies elsewhere in the network—for instance, where
two routes run on the same street through a lower-ridership area.
• S
ome of these frequency improvements are possible due to speeding up buses
and reinvesting those resources.
Improve Route Design

Many of our existing bus routes are long, have too many turns, deviate to serve specific locations,
operate on problematic streets, or offer duplicative service. Fixing these issues with different network
redesign strategies can improve both speed and reliability of the routes. Improving reliability is critical
to retain existing riders and to encourage bus usage for more types of trips—yet due to congestion
and other external factors, it is one of the trickiest challenges to solve.
We have used the following network redesign strategies to improve reliability:
• S
traighten routes by removing turns and deviations, which reduces
delays that can lead to gaps in service and overcrowding.
• S
horten routes so that buses are not getting caught in traffic
traversing long distances.
• Eliminate route redundancy so that buses are not blocking each other.
• A
void problematic streets to reduce choke points caused by congestion,
double parking, or other inappropriate uses of public street space.

Rush
Balance Bus Stops
Another strategy to decrease travel time and improve reliability is through right sizing the distance
between bus stops. On average, New York City has closer bus stop spacing than most major U.S. and
international cities. By removing certain bus stops that are spaced too close together and offering
different route types (e.g., Local and Limited) with different stop spacing, buses don’t need to pull in
and out of traffic as frequently, saving time and keeping buses moving with the flow of traffic. Paired
with future plans to implement all-door boarding utilizing OMNY tap readers, riders can board the bus
faster, reducing the time the bus needs to sit at a stop.
We have used multiple criteria to evaluate existing stops, such as route type, ridership, distance
between stops, proximity to key destinations and transfer points, senior populations, populations
with disabilities, ADA-accessible stop conditions, and existing bus stop amenities (e.g., shelters
and benches). Additionally, in the Proposed Final Plan we’ve re-evaluated proposed bus stop
spacing based on customer comments and maintained specific stops that are important to
our riders.
Expand Connectivity Across the Borough and City

A transit network with a grid structure is often the most effective way to provide connectivity across
large areas. In certain locations a hub-and-spoke model is a more effective network design with many
routes coming together at one terminal and allowing for many possible transfers. While both types of
networks exist in Queens, the current network has gaps which may force riders to go out of their way
before getting to their destination.
We have used the following network redesign strategies to expand connectivity:
• W
here appropriate, straighten, extend, or realign routes to create a stronger grid
and expand the reach of the network.
• Where appropriate, maximize connective hubs to allow for easy transfers.
• Create new connections by filling gaps in the bus network with new service.
• Create new and better interborough connections to Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Make It Easier To Travel by Bus

A simpler bus network is easier to understand and use for both existing and new riders.
We have used the following network redesign strategies to provide a better customer experience:
•S
implify the network by streamlining routes so that they run relatively straight to their
destinations.
•D
evelop new patterns of service that are designed to get riders to their destination
quickly (e.g, Rush, SBS/Crosstown routes).
•E
liminate confusing route variations so that riders can confidently know where their
bus is going.
• C
reate new transfer points, particularly to current and future ADA-accessible subway
and rail stations.
•E
xpand the all-day frequent network so customers know how often their bus should
be coming without looking at the schedule.
Expand Accessibility
The New York City bus fleet is fully accessible for riders who use mobility devices and continues to
provide safe and reliable service for our customers with disabilities, particularly in neighborhoods
where there are no accessible subway stations. Approximately 11 percent of citywide residents
are living with a disability.
As part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign, we have looked closely at areas with a high
concentration of residents with disabilities, as identified by U.S Census data. We have streamlined
routes and expanded connections to current and future ADA-accessible subway stations and
have filled gaps in the bus network to expand the reach of accessible public transportation. In
addition, we have used multiple criteria to evaluate our bus stop spacing from an accessibility
perspective.
NYC DOT is coordinating with the MTA on improving the accessibility of bus stops in Queens and
citywide. NYC DOT has launched a citywide bus stop accessibility study to identify inaccessible
stops that can be upgraded and is working to expand the installation of Real Time Passenger
Information signs and bus shelters.
We continue to increase the use of real-time information screens and improved digital
announcements on buses to assist passengers with visual, hearing, or cognitive disabilities.

Improve Transit Equity

The bus network covers nearly every corner of the city, with 92% of New York City residents living
within a quarter mile of a bus stop. However, proximity doesn’t always mean that people are able to
easily and effectively use and rely on the network. This is especially critical for transit dependent
individuals.
As part of our plan to redesign the bus network we are ensuring compliance with Title VI, which
focuses on communities where there is a concentration of minority or low-income residents. In
addition we’re paying specific attention to areas with greater concentration of residents that are
low-income, minority, and are transit dependent (areas of concentrated need), to help improve
transportation equity. The MTA developed equity indices to evaluate the difference between the
existing and proposed networks for those that live in areas of concentrated need. Understanding
where these areas of concentrated need are helped us understand where changes to the
network, such as frequency increases and service span expansions, would most directly serve
equity communities.
Using U.S. Census data, we looked at the relationship between the following eight variables to
identify areas of concentrated need in Queens:
• Low-income population
• Minority population
• Zero-vehicle households
•P
opulation with commutes
greater than 45 minutes
•P
opulation under 18 or over
75 years of age
• Population with a disability
•P
opulation whose level of
educational attainment is
not more than a high school
diploma

Expand Bus Priority
The NYC Streets Plan Update, released in February 2023, seeks to expand the rollout of bus
priority street improvements and the improvement of bus stop amenities. NYC DOT is working
collaboratively with the MTA to meet those objectives as part of the Queens Bus Network
Redesign.
As part of the NYC Streets Plan, NYC DOT identified key Queens corridors where bus priority street
treatments can be implemented to better support sustainable, all-day bus service. The toolkit of
potential improvements may include dedicated bus lanes, busways, queue jump intersections,
transit signal priority, and other interventions, including pedestrian safety elements and physical
accessibility upgrades of bus stops.
NYC DOT has conducted an analysis of major Queens corridors to identify streets where future bus
priority treatments would have the greatest impact for Queens bus riders. The goal of this analysis
is to prioritize streets for further study, planning, public outreach, design, and implementation of
street interventions that improve bus rider travel times and complement a Bus Network Redesign.
NYC DOT identified bus priority corridors, in collaboration with the MTA, based on the following
criteria:
• Demand for bus service.
• Bus performance.
• Feasibility of implementing new street treatments,

including traffic levels and street widths.
• The corridor’s role in the transit network.
• Neighborhood demographics and equity metrics.

his process identified 24 top ranked corridors to be studied for potential bus priority street
T
improvements.
The following corridors, listed alphabetically, ranked highest in the

NYC DOT evaluation process:
• 102 St / 37 Av / 104 St • Main Street
• 108 Street • Merrick Boulevard
• 168 Street • Northern Boulevard West
• 69 Street • Parsons Boulevard

• College Point Boulevard • Roosevelt Avenue West
• Grand Avenue / Grand Street • Sanford Avenue East
• Hillside Avenue • Sanford Avenue West
• Jamaica Avenue East • Sutphin Boulevard
• Junction Boulevard / 94 Street • Union Street
• Kissena Boulevard • Union Turnpike
These corridors will be evaluated and added to the work already underway at NYC DOT to evaluate
and improve streets in Queens.

Ongoing NYC DOT Efforts To Improve Bus Service
Between 2020 and 2023, NYC DOT completed bus priority improvements on Jamaica Avenue,
Archer Avenue, Main Street, 21st Street, Merrick Boulevard, and Northern Boulevard. In addition,
capital projects with bus priority improvements are in development on Woodhaven Boulevard,
Northern Boulevard, Jamaica Avenue, and Queens Boulevard.
Merrick Boulevard
In November 2020, NYC DOT implemented offset bus lanes and pedestrian safety treatments
on 6.4 miles (in both directions) of Merrick Boulevard. These improvements, which were made in
tandem with bus stop rebalancing, resulted in bus speed increases of up to 20.8% for the 94,000
daily riders, who primarily use the Q4, Q5, Q84, Q85, X63, N4, and N4X routes south of Archer
Avenue, and many more routes north of Archer Avenue. Vehicular traffic speeds meanwhile
remained unchanged after the project’s implementation.
Jamaica Avenue and Archer Avenue Busway Pilots

Downtown Jamaica is a critical hub for Queens bus riders where more than 45 New York City
Transit (NYCT), MTA Bus, and NICE bus routes connect to the E, J, and Z subway lines and the
Long Island Rail Road. However, because of traffic congestion buses only traveled at 5.7 to 6.1
MPH along Archer Avenue and 4.7 to 4.9 MPH on Jamaica Avenue during the PM peak periods.
To address this, NYC DOT launched a transformative project in Downtown Jamaica on October
24, 2021 to improve the lives of 250,000 bus riders per day. As a part of a one year pilot, through
traffic on Jamaica Avenue was limited to buses and trucks only from Sutphin Boulevard to
168 Street in both directions. On Archer Avenue, an eastbound double bus lane was added from
150 Street to 160 Street for MTA and NICE buses only. Due to the two pilots’ successes in
significantly increasing bus speeds, including an increase in bus speeds along Jamaica Avenue of
up to 34%, the Busways were made permanent in November 2022.
Main Street Busway Pilot

In January 2021, NYC DOT launched the Main Street Busway Pilot, improving bus speed and
reliability on Main Street in Flushing, which is a hub for 173,000 bus riders in northeast Queens
and a major transfer point to the 7 subway line, resulting in improved bus speeds by up to 50%.
Traffic was restricted to buses, trucks, and local traffic only on Main Street and Kissena Boulevard
between Sanford Avenue and Northern Boulevard. Due to the Busway’s success in significantly
increasing bus speeds, the Busway Pilot was made permanent in June 2022.

Rush
Woodhaven Boulevard
NYC DOT is pursuing capital projects on Woodhaven Blvd as part of ongoing improvements to
the Q52/Q53 SBS. DDC is conducting capital work to build out concrete bus and pedestrian
infrastructure to support Bus Rapid Transit. Improvements include pedestrian plazas, pedestrian
neckdowns, and median bus stations.
21 Street
In September 2022, NYC DOT implemented offset bus lanes and pedestrian safety measures on
21 Street in Queens for the three lines – Q66, Q69, and Q100 – serving nearly 30,000 daily bus
riders across the 3.2-mile (in both directions) corridor. This has resulted in bus speed increases
up to 13% and average weekday ridership increases as high as 29%, which is significantly more
than the borough average. Prior to the introduction of bus lanes and pedestrian safety measures,
bus service was slow and unreliable and speeding and aggressive driving a continuing point of
community concern. The project also included Neighborhood Loading Zones, sidewalk tree
plantings, six additional left turn lanes, six pedestrian islands, and the installation of modular bus
borders to improve physical accessibility and bus operations.
Northern Boulevard
In August 2023, NYC DOT implemented offset bus lanes and pedestrian safety measures on
Northern Blvd for the Q66, serving 17,000 daily bus riders across the 5-mile corridor (in both
directions). These improvements, in tandem with the improvements on nearby 21 Street, represent
significant upgrades to a large portion of the Q66 route. These bus priority improvements also
complemented new stop spacing for the Q66, installed in 2021. The 2023 bus lanes resulted in a
9% boost in bus speeds that was on top of gains seen since the initial improvements in 2021.
Queens Boulevard
NYC DOT has engaged in an extensive redesign of Queens Boulevard, from Roosevelt Avenue to
Union Turnpike, to improve safety for all road users along this Vision Zero Priority Corridor. As part
of a capital improvements project, bus stops will be moved from the service road to the mainline
to improve bus speeds and provide upgraded bus stop amenities such as shelters and benches.
Capital improvements will be made to accommodate pedestrian access to the new bus stops.

OTHER EFFORTS SUPPORTING THE QUEENS BUS
NETWORK REDESIGN
The MTA and its partner agencies have many other ongoing efforts that would complement the
Bus Network Redesign and improve bus service in Queens.
Collaborating With NYPD for Traffic Enforcement

•W
e continue to work closely with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to expand
traffic enforcement of bus lanes and reduce instances of double-parked vehicles blocking
bus lanes and delaying bus service.
•W
e have committed to expanding the Automatic Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) initiative,
which utilizes cameras to enforce bus lane rules.
•W
e will work with NYPD and NYC DOT to deploy Traffic Enforcement Agents to further
address these issues.
Tap for Faster Boarding

MTA’s new fare payment system will help speed up bus boarding and will complement our bus
stop balancing efforts.

2020-2024 MTA Capital Program
The 2020-2024 MTA Capital Program includes $54.8 billion of investments within the New York
City region, many of which will improve bus service and support the bus network redesign.
More than 82 percent of the Capital Program is dedicated to the MTA’s existing core infrastructure,
helping us keep the existing system running and upgrading it to be more accessible, resilient, and
reliable. The Program also includes funding for key expansion projects that meet new needs and
address historic transportation inequities.
The 2020-24 Capital Plan’s biggest priorities are to:
• Upgrade stations and improve accessibility
• Invest in new buses and train cars
• Modernize signals on the busiest subway lines and commuter rail lines
• Build the region’s megaprojects
• Keep bridges and tunnels in good working condition
• Keep the MTA’s other infrastructure in good working condition

Redesigning The Network
Rush
CityTicket
CityTickets cost $5 during off-peak hours and $7 during peak hours. They are good for
one-way travel that begins and ends within New York City. (LIRR riders can change trains at
Jamaica as long as they continue their trips in the same direction.)
On LIRR, you can use CityTicket for trips within Zone 1 or between Zones 1 and 3.
On Metro-North, you can use CityTicket for trips between the Bronx and Manhattan.
A special Far Rockaway Ticket can be purchased at Far Rockaway Station for travel between
Far Rockaway and LIRR stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the same cost as a CityTicket.
How to buy a CityTicket

You can buy a CityTicket at a ticket office, a ticket machine, or on the MTA TrainTime app
on your phone. Not all stations have ticket offices. All stations in New York City except for
Mets-Willets Point have ticket machines.
You cannot buy a CityTicket onboard a train, unless you are boarding at Mets-Willets Point, or
are a senior citizen or a person with a disability.
When purchasing your tickets at a ticket window or ticket machine, you will be asked for your
starting point and destination. If your trip falls within the CityTicket area, you will have the option
to purchase CityTicket.
Far Rockaway Ticket can be purchased at Far Rockaway Station or in TrainTime if you share
your location with the app to confirm you are near the station.
CityTickets must be used on the day of purchase.
You have a grace period that allows you to travel until 4 a.m. the next morning for tickets
purchased the previous day.

4. Introducing the New Network Rush
• Route Types
• S
ummary of Proposed Changes to
Local and Express Bus Network
• Route Improvements and Customer Benefits
• How To Provide Feedback

Introducing the New Network
ROUTE TYPES
We currently operate the following types of bus routes: Local, Limited, Select Bus Service, and Express.
As they exist today, the maps do little to indicate what pattern of service each route provides in terms
of frequency, stop spacing, and bus priority. The only ways to differentiate between the different route
types and what purpose they serve are the branding for SBS routes, the green or purple bus stop
panel colors, and the “QM” or “X” prefix for express routes.
To address these issues, we are utilizing different color-coded route types that were proposed in
the New Draft Plan. We are calling them Local, Limited, Rush, SBS/Crosstown, and Express. Each of
these route types serve a particular purpose with different guidelines for stop spacing and service
frequencies. When looking at a map, customers will be able to quickly determine how these routes
meet their needs. In the following section, we examine these new solutions and describe what purpose
each of them is intended to serve.
Route Labels
For all routes other than express routes, we have used existing “Q” or “B” labels. If a proposed route
looks like an existing route, we have kept the existing route label. If a proposed route is new or looks too
different to assign it an existing label, we have given it a new “Q” or “B” number (e.g., the proposed Q51).
You will also notice that some existing route labels are not in this plan. This doesn’t mean that service
is discontinued. We are retiring the route number, and in most cases, it is replaced by an existing or
new “Q” or “B” route label. For express routes, we have continued with the recent Network Redesign
custom in replacing “X” labels with the “QM” label.
Introducing
IntroducingThe
the New Network
Route Type: Local
The purpose of Local routes is to connect local neighborhoods, key transit hubs, and important
destinations. To easily recognize these routes on a map, they are shown in a green color. Service
frequencies are typically driven by ridership demand. The average distance between stops on Local
routes is between 1,000 and 1,200 feet.
Route Type: Rush

The purpose of Rush routes is to connect quickly between outer borough neighborhoods and subway
stations. To easily recognize these routes on a map, they are shown in a purple color. These routes
pick up passengers locally and then skip stops to the subway, stopping only for major transfer points
and key destinations. Along these “limited-stop” portions, Rush routes have underlying service from
Local or Limited routes. These routes are typically more frequent in the AM and PM weekday peak
period. The average distance between stops on Rush routes is between 1,000 and 1,200 feet.
Route Type: Limited

The purpose of Limited routes is to serve high-ridership, high-density corridors and connect quickly
across the city. To easily recognize these routes on a map, they are shown in a red color. These routes
have slightly wider stop spacing than Local routes, but not as wide as SBS routes, with stops located at
high ridership locations and key transfer points and destinations. Service is frequent all day (between
6 AM and 9 PM on weekdays). The average distance between stops on Limited routes is between
1,200 and 1,500 feet.
Route Type: SBS/Crosstown

SBS/Crosstown routes connect across the city as fast as possible between several important
destinations. To easily recognize these routes on a map, they are shown in a blue color.
These routes have the widest bus stop spacing and most have all-day frequent service (between
6 AM and 9 PM on weekdays). Combined with Limited routes, they help form a high-frequency core
network. The average distance between stops on SBS/Crosstown routes is between 1,700 ft and
2,600 feet.
Route Type: Express

The purpose of Express routes is to connect neighborhoods in the boroughs to the central business
district in Manhattan with a one-seat ride. Express routes use coach buses and have a higher fare
than local routes due to the longer distance they travel and the higher operational cost. In this plan we
are showing the Express routes in four different colors, each based on their Manhattan destination:
purple for 6th Avenue, light green for 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue, dark green for 3rd Avenue, and
orange for downtown. These routes mostly offer peak hour service with frequency based on ridership
demand. The average distance between stops on Express routes is approximately 1,600 feet in the
local neighborhoods served, excluding the non-stop portion of the route on the highway.

Building a Cohesive Network With Improved Route Types

Using these different service concepts, we have built a cohesive network to fulfill the different needs
of our Queens customers. Some services traverse straight, long corridors, connecting several
activity centers along the way, while other services are better suited to connect neighborhoods
to major destinations.
This combination creates a network that works better as a whole, and that opens new opportunities
to the residents and workers of Queens.

Queens Bus Network Redesign Breezy Point Tip

Proposed Final Plan | 39
Rush
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE
LOCAL BUS NETWORK
We are proposing a redesigned Local Bus Network with 91 routes. Each route has been
assigned one of the four different route types described in the previous section and are
broken down as follows:
• 91 Local Routes
• 27 Rush Routes
• 17 Limited Routes
• 5 SBS/Crosstown Routes
Although many of the routes in the Proposed Final Plan will look familiar to you, most of them still
have some type of proposed change. The extent of these proposed changes varies on each route.
Some routes have proposed extensions, some are realigned to serve other streets, some are
shortened, some are combined with other routes, some are new routes, and some have proposed
stop changes. For context, we are also showing eight additional local routes that are considered
part of the Brooklyn Bus Network Redesign project yet touch the border of Queens. The proposed
network includes increases to the all-day frequent network which are routes defined as every 10
minutes or better between 6 AM and 9 PM on weekdays. Currently 60.1% of Queens population
is within a quarter mile of a bus service that is part of the all-day frequent network. The Proposed
Final Plan expands this reach to 200,000 more people, increasing the access to 68.9% of the
population.

Rush
Route Improvements and Customer Benefits
Each of these route changes have been proposed to address one or more of the Customer
Priorities (Reliable Service, Faster Travel, Better Connections, and Simplified Service). We have
used several different globally recognized network redesign strategies and improvements to
achieve these priorities, which are described below. The chart on the following page summarizes
the route improvements proposed for each route.
• More direct routing – route is straighter with fewer turns and fewer
diversions.
• New connections – route creates new connections to subway stations,

other bus routes, LIRR, and/or key destinations.
• Fills bus network gap – route fills an existing gap in the bus network from
one neighborhood to another.
• Improved stop spacing – route has fewer stops, leading to faster and more
reliable service.
• Improved frequency – route has a proposed frequency increase in at least

one time period.
• Fewer route patterns – route has fewer variations or branches

(e.g., the proposed Q46 would serve LIJ Hospital, while the proposed Q48
would serve Glen Oaks).
• Avoids narrow streets – route avoids narrow streets with known issues
such as double parking.
• Improved ADA access – route now serves an ADA accessible subway

station or expands access to bus service where there are currently gaps.
• Priority Corridor – route operates on one of the key corridors identified by

NYC DOT where bus priority street treatments would be implemented.

Proposed Frequency Changes for a Better All-Day

Frequent Network
In addition to routing changes, we are proposing frequency changes across the bus network.
Some of these frequency changes are proposed to complement routing changes. Others are
proposed to create a better all-day frequent network that gives customers more freedom to travel
across the borough without having to look at a schedule. Additionally, the four different proposed
route types make it easier for customers to understand how frequent their route will be based on
their color.
The chart on the next page summarizes the frequency changes and service span changes we are
proposing by route. This chart shows the average frequency in minutes that customers should
expect during different time periods on weekdays in the peak direction. Frequencies shown in
green represent an increase compared to the existing frequencies; those shown in yellow are
a decrease. Span of service increases and decreases are also shown in green and yellow. New
routes are shown in blue. Proposed Saturday and Sunday frequency and span changes can be
found in the individual route profiles in the following chapter.
