Dollar vans

When the MTA discontinued some routes on June 27, 2010, dollar van operators were allowed to take over certain discontinued routes. These routes were the Q74 and Q79. The fare is $2.00, lower than the $2.25 fare for MTA-operated local buses, but without free transfers.

Former routes

On December 11, 1988, when the Jamaica Center – Parsons/Archer subway station opened, some of the Brooklyn "B" routes primarily in Queens were redesignated as "Q" routes, and a number of other routes were renumbered or modified. Most of the former routes are operated by NYCTA; some were operated by private companies in Queens.
