Frequently asked questions
Is the free Q70 actually practical with luggage?
Yes, it has racks and runs frequently. The subway transfer at Jackson Heights involves stairs and crowds, the one real caveat.
When should I skip the Q70 for a car?
Late night, heavy rain, groups of three or more or hotel locations far from the 7 or E lines. Otherwise the free bus embarrasses the alternatives.
How long does the Q70 route take to Midtown?
Roughly 40 to 60 minutes door to door including the transfer, at no fare for the bus leg. Allow extra time for stairs and crowds at Jackson Heights.
