About the route

Changes to the Q31 take effect June 29, 2025.

The Q31 will be rerouted to serve more of Bell Blvd, terminating at The Bay Terrace Shopping Center. Alternative service in the discontinued area will be provided by the Q16, Q28, and Q76. In Jamaica, Bay Terrace-bound buses will travel on Archer Av instead of Jamaica Av. School trips to Bayside HS will be maintained.

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