Dollar vans

[edit]

When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, operators of commuter vans, also known as dollar vans,[95] were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. In Queens, these routes were the Q74 and Q79.[96] 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.[97][98] 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.[95][97]

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.[99]

List of routes from June 29th to August 30th, 2025

History of current routes

[edit]

Proposed bus route changes (List of routes effective August 31st, 2025)

[edit]

In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes.[193][194] 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.[195]: 24  The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020,[193][194] but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans.[196] The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City.[197] Planning resumed in mid-2021.[198][199]

The original draft plan was dropped,[200] and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022.[196] 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.[201]

A final plan was to have been released in early 2023[202] but was delayed until December 2023.[203][204] The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn, four new local routes, eight routes with new overnight service, and 27 rush routes.[205] A second final plan was announced in December 2024. The new plans called for 124 bus routes, including 25 rush routes and 20 routes with expanded service hours.[206][207] The routes are to be implemented in two parts, on June 29 and August 31, 2025.[208] 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:[209]: 27 

  • Select Bus Service (originally high-density[195]: 31 ) – routes connecting highly populated corridors, with limited stops every 1,742 to 2,640 feet (531 to 805 m; 13 to 12 mi)[101]: 25 
  • Rush (originally subway connector[195]: 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.[101]: 29 
  • Limited-stop (originally intra-borough[195]: 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.[101]: 30 
  • Local (originally neighborhood[195]: 28 ) – routes connecting several neighborhoods to subway hubs and important destinations, typically at lower frequencies and higher stop densities compared to limited-stop routes[101]: 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.
