About the route

Changes to the Q36 take effect June 29, 2025.

The Q36 will be rerouted in Queens Village from 212 St/212 Pl and Jamaica Av to Hillside Av and Springfield Blvd. The Q82 will replace service on 212 St/212 Pl and the Q110 will replace service on Jamaica Av. The Q36 will have limited-stop Rush service along Hillside Av, where the Q1, Q3, and Q76 will serve local stops. On weekends, the Q36 will now operate its full route to Little Neck LIRR.

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