QM63 Express

Rosedale - Midtown
Associated existing routes: X63

About the route

The X63 will be renamed the QM63. In Queens, the QM63 will be rerouted to use 249 St instead of Sunrise Hwy in both directions to avoid a difficult turn. Midtown-bound QM63 trips will make stops on 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Service on 3 and 5 Avs will be discontinued. The Queens-bound QM63 routing in Manhattan will not change. Peak frequency will decrease slightly, and service spans will change in response to low ridership.

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