About the route

The QM8 will maintain its existing routing with a new stop at E 34 St/1 Av to serve east side employment centers. Service spans will be adjusted to match ridership patterns but the number of QM8 trips will stay the same. Existing super express trips from Downtown will be maintained.

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