About the route

Changes to the Q46 take effect June 29, 2025.

The Q46 will maintain its existing routing between Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Kew Gardens. The existing Glen Oaks branch will be discontinued and replaced by the new Q48. The Q46 will have limited-stop Rush service along Union Tpke west of 188 St, where the Q45 will serve local stops.

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