About the route

Changes to the Q12 take effect June 29, 2025.

The Q12 will be rerouted on its western end to provide all-day frequent service along Northern Blvd between Little Neck and Flushing. Existing Q12 service on Sanford Av will be discontinued and replaced by the Q13 and Q65.

We have removed or relocated some stops to improve speed and reliability.
