Dollar vans

Main article: Dollar vans in the New York metropolitan area

When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans,^[90] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Queens, these routes were the Q74 and Q79.^[91] There are also dollar vans that operate from Jamaica Center, providing an alternative mode of transportation to bus routes such as the Q4 to Cambria Heights, the Q113 to Far Rockaway, and the Q5 and Q85 to Green Acres Mall.^[92][93] The vans, some licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission and some unlicensed, charge a fare of $2.00, lower than the $2.90 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers.^[90][92]

In December 2011, City Councilman Leroy Comrie pushed the city to create designated bus stops for the dollar van services to alleviate traffic and interference of dollar vans with MTA buses. These dollar van stops for drop off and pick ups now includes the corner of 153rd Street and Archer Avenue along with Parsons Boulevard between Archer and Jamaica Avenue.^[94]

Q77	Francis Lewis Boulevard bus route originally proposed and rejected in 1959.^[288] New route created by the New York City Transit Authority Service started on September 13, 1965^[296] as a four-month trial^[297]^[298] in order to serve Andrew Jackson High School.^[296]^[299] Originally operated between the 179th Street station, and the intersection of Springfield Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard.^[299] On September 10, 1973, service was extended 1.5 miles to Springfield Boulevard and 145th Road to serve Springfield Gardens High School, Junior High School 231, and provide additional service to Springfield Gardens.^[300] Saturday service was added at some point after 1973.^[300] Extended from 179th Street-Hillside Avenue to 165th Street Terminal in 1989.^[117] Sunday service was added on April 6, 2014.^[197]^[301]^[198] On January 5, 2020, the route's southern terminal was moved from Springfield Boulevard and 145th Road to Springfield Boulevard and 145th Avenue. Southbound buses run via South Conduit Avenue, 225th Street and 145th Avenue to Springfield Boulevard.^[302]^[303] On January 3, 2021, the route's southern terminal was moved from Springfield Boulevard and 145th Avenue to South Conduit Avenue and 221st Street. The stop at Springfield Boulevard at 225th Street was eliminated. The route's terminal loop was modified to be South Conduit Avenue, 225th Street, and North Conduit Avenue.^[304]
Q83	Originally operated by Bee Line Bus, service began in 1923. The route was extended from Springfield Boulevard and 114th Avenue to 227th Street and 113th Drive between 1946 and 1949.^[186] On November 29, 1956, the NYCTA approved a slate of changes in bus service citywide to take effect on January 22, 1957. Among the changes was the extension of Q3A service to the 179th Street subway station to eliminate congestion at 169th Street.^[136] Formerly Q3A; renumbered and rerouted on December 11, 1988 to Jamaica Center.^[108] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue.^[110] Buses were rerouted to run along Archer Avenue, 165th Street and Liberty Avenue.^[109] Full-time service on the branch via Springfield Boulevard to the Queens Village LIRR station was eliminated on January 4, 2004, with service replaced by an extension of the Q27 from the Queens Village LIRR station to 120th Avenue and Springfield Boulevard.^[181]^[112] On January 12, 2004, Jamaica-bound limited-stop service in the a.m. rush hour was rerouted to Liberty Avenue and 160th Street from 168th Street and Archer Avenue to match the travel path during the p.m. rush hour.^[112] Limited-stop service started stopping at Liberty Avenue and 177th Street in both directions on November 3, 2008 to allow for transfers with the Q42.^[50]
Q84	Originally operated by Bee Line Bus, service began in 1923. On February 18, 1962, it was extended from 122nd Avenue and 199th Street to its present terminus at 238th Street and 130th Avenue during a six-month test period.^[183] Original western terminus was the 169th Street subway station Service was rerouted to Jamaica Center on December 11, 1988, and was renumbered from the Q4A to the Q84.^[108] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q84 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions. Outbound trips had run on Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard.^[110]^[109]
Q85	Originally owned by Bee Line Bus. Formerly Q5A and Q5AB. The Bedell Street branch of the Q5A began operation on August 9, 1964 to serve Rochdale Village and reduce congestion on the other routes along Merrick Boulevard. This branch would start at Bedell Avenue and 133rd Avenue, run along Bedell Avenue, Baisley Boulevard, Merrick Boulevard, 168th Street, 88th Avenue, and 168th Place, and then would run via Hillside Avenue east of 167th Street. Service would return by Hillside Avenue, Merrick Boulevard to the 165th Street bus terminal, Merrick Boulevard, Baisley Boulevard and Bedell Street. This service, which was requested by Queens Borough President Mario J. Cariello, would run weekdays between 6 a.m. and 12 a.m., and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Rush hour service would be every ten minutes, and every 20 minutes during weekdays off-peak, and Sundays and holidays, and every 15 minutes on Saturdays.^[305] Early morning service on this branch was added at some point afterwards. On September 10, 1973, to better serve Rosedale, Q5A service was scheduled to be extended .5 miles to 253rd Street and 149th Avenue, and Jamaica-bound service was rerouted off of Brookville Boulevard and onto 243rd Street.^[300] The new route had been approved by Community Board 13 in December 1972. On September 14, 1973, members of the Rosedale Block Association, who had refused to let buses travel along Huxley Avenue between met with Queens Borough President Manes between 147th Avenue and 149th Avenue, which was part of the new route. Residents claimed that the street was too narrow for buses and that the street was too prone to flooding after rainstorms. By this date, Q5A buses did not attempt to use the new route, and the NYCTA did not plan to do so until an agreement was reached with residents.^[306] On April 20, 1975, to cut costs, service on the Farmers Boulevard branch to Huxley Street between 1:15 a.m. and 5 a.m. was eliminated. Early morning service via Bedell Street was maintained.^[99] On September 26, 1982, wheelchair-accessible buses began operating on the Q5A and 17 other city bus routes.^[176] On September 11, 1983, service on the Q5AB was increased, and service on the Q5A was increased in February 1984.^[307] On December 15, 1985, the NYCTA announced it was reconsidering its plan to adjust service to Rochdale Village, and would conduct a survey with community input over the following three to four weeks. Many local residents were opposed to NYCTA's plan to consolidate the Q5A and Q5AB routes. Bus service along the seven blocks on Farmers Boulevard between Bedell Street and Merrick Boulevard would be discontinued.^[308] On September 13, 1987, the NYCTA implemented a series of service reductions in Southeast Queens, including the combination of the Q5A, which ran to 243rd Street and 147th Avenue in Rosedale via Conduit Avenue, with the Q5AB Bedell Street route, which ran to Rochdale, to form the Q85, with reduced service on Merrick Boulevard.^[309] These routes were operated as a single service during late evenings and early mornings.^[310] Original western terminus was the 169th Street subway station.^[108] Service was rerouted to Jamaica Center on December 11, 1988.^[108] In March 1992, merchants in Jamaica criticized a NYCTA proposal to extend the Q85 to Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream as they believed it would divert shoppers from their stores to promote economic development in Nassau County. The proposal was spurred due to surveys showing that people in Southeast Queens wanted additional service to the mall.^[311] This extension took effect on September 20, 1992, with buses running to the mall every 25 minutes between 9 a.m. and 12 a.m.^[312] On August 29, 1993, two-way traffic on Archer Avenue and Jamaica Avenue was restored between 138th Street and 168th Street, undoing changes that took effect in November 1990. The change was made to alleviate heavy traffic on Jamaica Avenue. Q85 service began running on Archer Avenue in both directions.^[110] Outbound trips had run on Jamaica Avenue between Parsons Boulevard and Merrick Boulevard.^[109] Q85 limited-stop service began on the Rosedale branch on January 10, 1994 during rush hours eastbound between 4:00 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. and westbound between 6:35 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. Limited-stop buses would make local stops between Bedell Street and Rosedale. Service to Green Acres Mall continued to run local.^[313] On January 12, 2004, Jamaica-bound limited-stop service in the a.m. rush hour was rerouted to Liberty Avenue and 160th Street from 168th Street and Archer Avenue to match the travel path during the p.m. rush hour.^[112]
Q88	New route created by the New York City Transit Authority. On January 25, 1974, the New York City Board of Estimate approved the route, given that the NYCTA provide annual ridership, loss, and profit data to the city's Franchise Bureau. At the time, it was expected that free transfers would be provided to the Q17, Q17A, Q31, and Q44 bus routes. While Queens Borough President Donald Manes had been assured that bus service would begin in two to three months,^[314] the NYCTA's general manager refused to begin service as the city demanded some financial records it did not want to release. The NYCTA had held that its bus operations were only subject to review by the city controller's office, and had fought against efforts by the Franchise Bureau to provide oversight. While the Franchise Bureau previously had no clear authority to mandate that the NYCTA provide financial data, the resolution approving the Q88 route required the NYCTA to provide relevant data after one year of operation. A NYCTA spokesperson, in June 1974, said that it was up to the Franchise Bureau to get an opinion from the corporation counsel to resolve the issue.^[315] In August 1974, the city was about to take away NYCTA's authorization for the route and instead award it to Triboro Coach on an experimental basis until August 31, 1975.^[316] The Board of Estimate approved the route after the NYCTA agreed to informally provide the data for the new route without having to allow the city to audit its records.^[317] Service started on September 16, 1974, after the New York City Board of Estimate approved a franchise for the route on September 12.The route's original eastern terminal was Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike.^[318] Bus service initially ran daily except Sundays between 6:30 a.m. and 11 p.m.. It ran every ten minutes during rush hours, and every twenty minutes at other times.^[319] In November 1974, the NYCTA studied extending the route to serve Queensborough Community College to address the lack of student parking.^[320] In December 1974, a free transfer was instituted between the Q88 and the Q17A. The Board of Estimate had approved the Q88 route in January 1974 on the condition that this free transfer be provided.^[321] In January 1979, it was announced that Q88 service would be extended from Union Turnpike to Hillside Avenue, with those buses heading along Springfield Boulevard to Jamaica Avenue on the way to Queens Village Bus Depot, running in service, making stops along Springfield Boulevard, instead of deadheading. Free transfers would also be provided to the Q1 and Q27 for riders continuing south along Springfield Boulevard.^[322]^[323] The NYCTA decided against extending all Q88 trips to Jamaica Avenue due to a lack of buses.^[324] The changes took effec on March 4, 1979.^[239]^[240] In September 1983, bus service was increased due to increased ridership and the proliferation of gypsy cabs along the route.^[325]^[326] One additional buses was added to the route to make short-run trips between Queens Boulevard and Queens College.^[327] The route was later extended to Jamaica Avenue between 1985 and 1989.^[118]^[178] In April 2001, the MTA announced that the span of Sunday service from 7:10 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. would be extended. The change, which was estimated to cost $30,000 a year, was to be implemented in June 2001.^[328]
Q100	Started service in the 1980s. Formerly operated by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005.^[329] Formerly Q101R; renumbered the Q100 on April 6, 2008.^[128] Originally non-stop between Long Island City and Rikers Island parking lot.^[287] Limited-stop service along 21st Street began on February 1, 2009.^[330]
Q101	Service started on November 1, 1939 to replace Steinway Street Line streetcar service.^[265] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005.^[284]^[329] Original northern terminus was Rikers' Island; when the Q101R (now Q100) was created, service was truncated to 19 Avenue. Prior to the creation of the Q101R, this route was the only local bus route to traverse three boroughs, since Rikers' Island is located in The Bronx. On October 10, 2010, the route's Manhattan terminal was moved from Second Avenue and East 58th Street to avoid obstructing the bus lane for the planned M15 Select Bus Service. The new last stop was moved to East 61st Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, while a new first stop was established at the southwest corner of East 61st Street and Second Avenue.^[247]
Q102	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar.^[265] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005.^[284]^[329] Starting on April 18, 2010, all service began traveling through Roosevelt Island in the same direction and some closely spaced bus stops on the island were discontinued.^[331] Newtown Avenue, Crescent Street, and Astoria Boulevard segment discontinued in favor of operating via 30th Avenue on June 29, 2014.
Q103	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar.^[265] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005.^[284]^[329] Weekend service was added and the span of weekday service hours were extended from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on June 29, 2014 on a pilot basis.^[332] On March 20, 2015, it was announced that the changes would be made permanent.^[333]
Q104	Service started on September 29, 1939 to replace a Steinway Streetcar line.^[265] Formerly operated by Steinway Transit until 1988, and then by Queens Surface Corporation until takeover in 2005.^[284]^[329]
Q110	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses. Originally Route A; replacement for Jamaica Avenue-Hempstead Turnpike trolley service on November 25, 1933.^[334]^[335]^[336]^[337] Original terminus was 168th Street station,^[338] which was the former terminus of the surface line.^[339] On May 2, 2007, the Q110 started serving the racetrack on racing days.^[101]
Q111	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses^[336] as Route B (Jamaica-Hook Creek). Originally part of the current Q113; separated into Route B in the 1950s;^[340] renumbered the Q111 by 1960.^[341] Between 1985 and December 1989, the route was cut back to Peninsula Boulevard and Rockaway Turnpike; the route had gone further west on Peninsula Boulevard.^[178]^[118]
Q112	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses. Originally Route C; replacement for Liberty Avenue trolley service on December 3, 1933.^[334]^[335]^[336]^[337] Original terminus was the 168th Street elevated station^[338] Between 1980 and 1985, Rockaway Boulevard-bound buses were rerouted off of Union Hall Street between Archer Avenue and Liberty Avenue, and onto Archer Avenue, Guy R Brewer Boulevard, and Liberty Avenue. Bus service continued to run via Union Hall Street between Jamaica Avenue and Archer Avenue, and between Liberty Avenue and South Road. This change was made because Union Hall Street was closed between these streets to traffic, and became part of the York College campus.^[177]^[178] Between 1985 and December 1989, service was streamlined in Jamaica, and southbound buses stopped running via Union Hall Street, instead running via Guy R Brewer Boulevard along with the Q111 and Q113.^[178]^[118] Terminal loop in Jamaica rerouted in the late 1980s
Q113	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses; originally Route B^[334] and Route D;^[340] replacement for Jamaica Central Railways' Jamaica–Far Rockaway trolley line.^[335]^[336]^[342] Rockaway−Nassau County portion of route began operation in September 1930.^[337]^[89] The full-route to Jamaica began operating on November 12, 1933.^[335] Original terminals were 168th Street station in Jamaica and the Far Rockaway LIRR station (site of the current subway station).^[338]^[89] Service to Seagirt Boulevard began on April 20, 1952, following disruption of LIRR Rockaway service.^[343] Between 1985 and December 1985, southbound buses were rerouted from Beach Channel Drive and Mott Avenue to Nameoke Avenue and Central Avenue.^[178]^[118] Limited-stop service extended on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, and expanded to Saturdays on March 12, 2007.^[344] Limited-stop service shifted onto Rockaway Boulevard between Springfield Gardens and Five Towns on July 3, 2011.^[345] Local service split into the Q114 on August 31, 2014.^[88]^[346]
Q114	Formerly operated by Jamaica Buses as the local portion of the Q113. Originally Route B^[334] and Route D.^[340] Renumbered to Q114 on August 31, 2014, when limited service was introduced on 147th Avenue west of Brookville Boulevard. Local service along Guy R. Brewer Boulevard and 147th Avenue was replaced by the Q111.^[88]^[346] Local service was formerly late nights only; extended to evening hours on January 4, 2015.^[347]

Proposed bus route changes

For a list of proposed new express bus routes, see List of express bus routes in New York City § Proposed new bus routes.

In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes.^[348][349] The routes were given a "QT" label to avoid confusion with existing routes. The "QT" prefix was tentative; in the final plan, all bus routes would have been labeled with "Q", similar to the existing routes.^[350]: 24 The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,^[348][349] but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans.^[351] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.^[352] Planning resumed in mid-2021.^[353][354]

The original draft plan was dropped,^[355] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.^[351] The new plan retained the "Q" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes. However, the new plan still contained significant changes compared with the existing bus map; only the Q70 SBS was not modified at all. In addition, 11 routes will be eliminated, 20 routes will be created, and 29 others will be truncated, extended, or combined with other routes.^[351] A final plan was to have been released in early 2023^[356] but was delayed until December 2023.^[357][358] The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn, four new local routes, eight routes with new overnight service, and 27 rush routes.^[359] Several Brooklyn routes are being changed; for these changes, see List of bus routes in Brooklyn § Proposed bus route changes.

There are to be four types of routes:^[360]: 27

• Crosstown/Select Bus Service (originally high-density^[350]: 31) - routes connecting highly populated corridors, with limited stops every 1,742 to 2,640 feet (531 to 805 m)^[360]: 25
• Rush (originally subway connector^[350]: 26) - routes connecting one or two neighborhoods to subway hubs, with a limited-stop section between the subway and the relevant neighborhoods. These often correspond to current routes with limited-stop variants.^[360]: 29
• Limited-stop (originally intra-borough^[350]: 27) - routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs. These do not necessarily correspond to the current definition of limited-stop services, as the stops are spaced only slightly further than on local routes.^[360]: 30
• Local (originally neighborhood^[350]: 28) - routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs and important destinations, typically at lower frequencies and higher stop densities compared to limited-stop routes^[360]: 28

Routes marked with an asterisk (*) are proposed to run 24 hours a day. For rush routes, streets with nonstop sections are notated in italics.

the city s Franchise Bureau At the time it was expected that free transfers would be provided to the Q17 Q17A Q31 and Q44 bus routes While Queens Borough President Donald Manes had been assured that bus service would begin in two to three months 314 the NYCTA s general manager refused to begin service as the city demanded some financial records it did not want to release The NYCTA had held that its bus operations were only subject to review by the city controller s office and had fought against efforts by the Franchise Bureau to provide oversight While the Franchise Bureau previously had no clear authority to mandate that the NYCTA provide financial data the resolution approving the Q88 route required the NYCTA to provide relevant data after one year of operation A NYCTA spokesperson in June 1974 said that it was up to the Franchise Bureau to get an opinion from the corporation counsel to resolve the issue 315 In August 1974 the city was about to take away NYCTA s authorization for the route and instead award it to Triboro Coach on an experimental basis until August 31 1975 316 The Board of Estimate approved the route after the NYCTA agreed to informally provide the data for the new route without having to allow the city to audit its records 317 Service started on September 16 1974 after the New York City Board of Estimate approved a franchise for the route on September 12 The route s original eastern terminal was Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike 318 Bus service initially ran daily except Sundays between 6 30 a m and 11 p m It ran every ten minutes during rush hours and every twenty minutes at other times 319 In November 1974 the NYCTA studied extending the route to serve Queensborough Community College to address the lack of student parking 320 In December 1974 a free transfer was instituted between the Q88 and the Q17A The Board of Estimate had approved the Q88 route in January 1974 on the condition that this free transfer be provided 321 In January 1979 it was announced that Q88 service would be extended from Union Turnpike to Hillside Avenue with those buses heading along Springfield Boulevard to Jamaica Avenue on the way to Queens Village Bus Depot running in service making stops along Springfield Boulevard instead of deadheading Free transfers would also be provided to the Q1 and Q27 for riders continuing south along Springfield Boulevard 322 323 The NYCTA decided against extending all Q88 trips to Jamaica Avenue due to a lack of buses 324 The changes took effec on March 4 1979 239 240 In September 1983 bus service was increased due to increased ridership and the proliferation of gypsy cabs along the route 325 326 One additional buses was added to the route to make short run trips between Queens Boulevard and Queens College 327 The route was later extended to Jamaica Avenue between 1985 and 1989 118 178 In April 2001 the MTA announced that the span of Sunday service from 7 10 p m to 11 15 p m would be extended The change which

Original northern terminus was Rikers Island when the Q101R now Q100 was created service was truncated to 19 Avenue Prior to the creation of the Q101R this route was the only local bus route to traverse three boroughs since Rikers Island is located in The Bronx On October 10 2010 the route s Manhattan terminal was moved from Second Avenue and East 58th Street to avoid obstructing the bus lane for the planned M15 Select Bus Service The new last stop was moved to East 61st Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue while a new first stop was established at the southwest corner of

route changes editFor a list of proposed new express bus routes see List of express bus routes in New York City Proposed new bus routes In December 2019 the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes 348 349 The routes were given a QT label to avoid confusion with existing routes The QT prefix was tentative in the final plan all bus routes would have been labeled with Q similar to the existing routes 350 24 The final redesign was initially expected in mid or late 2020 348 349 but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback with 11 000 comments about the plans 351 The redesign was delayed due to the COVID 19 pandemic in New York City 352 Planning resumed in mid 2021 353 354 The original draft plan was dropped 355 and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29 2022 351 The new plan retained the Q prefix and preserves most of the existing routes However the new plan still contained significant changes compared with the existing bus map only the Q70 SBS was not modified at all In addition 11 routes will be eliminated 20 routes will be created and 29 others will be truncated extended or combined with other routes 351 A final plan was to have been released in early 2023 356 but was delayed until December 2023 357 358 The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn four new local routes eight routes with new overnight service
