About the route

Changes to the Q101 take effect August 31, 2025.

The Q101 will continue to serve Steinway St but will be rerouted on both ends. At its northern end, the route will be shortened to 37 St. The Q100 will provide alternative service to riders along the existing 20 Av segment. At its southern end, the Q101 will be rerouted from Manhattan to Hunters Point via Jackson Av to avoid congestion on the Queensboro Bridge and improve reliability. Service to Manhattan will still be provided via a transfer to the subway, Q32, or Q60.

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