About the route

The QM36 will maintain its existing routing between North Shore Towers and Midtown Manhattan. The route will no longer make stops west of 188 St, where other express bus services will still stop. AM peak frequencies will increase and service spans will change. 

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