About the route
Changes to the Q38 take effect June 29, 2025.
The Q38 will be split in two and will no longer operate as a loop. Service between Rego Park and Maspeth will be maintained. Service on the existing northern half of the route will be replaced by the Q14, providing new connections between East Elmhurst and Ridgewood.
We have removed or relocated some stops to improve speed and reliability.
