About the route

The X64 becomes the QM64 on June 30, 2025.

The X64 will be renamed the QM64. The route will be extended into Elmont to a new stop at Elmont Rd/Dutch Broadway to improve connections. Midtown-bound QM64 trips will make stops on 23 St, Madison Av, and 57 St. Service on 3 and 5 Avs will be discontinued. The Queens-bound QM64 routing in Manhattan will not change. AM peak frequencies will decrease slightly due to low ridership.

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