About the route

Changes to the Q39 take effect June 29, 2025.

The Q39 will mostly maintain its existing routing between Long Island City and Glendale. The northern turnaround will be revised to use Jackson Av in both directions, terminating at Queens Plaza.

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