Source Verification and What This Refresh Fixes
Updated July 30, 2026. This rebuild uses the current published post, the uploaded Q47 infographic image, the official MTA Q47 timetable/PDF, MTA Bus Time, MTA Queens schedule hub, MTA fare page, MTA app page, MTA maps page, MTA bus accessibility guidance and the Queens Bus Network Redesign details contained in official MTA material.
The old page had useful route information, but this version makes the map section stronger, embeds the official PDF inside the article, uses your infographic in a safer way, clarifies the Terminal A/Q33 change more visibly, improves stop-side guidance, removes weak generic language and keeps custom schema limited to supported visible content because Yoast is already handling the core page/article schema.

Q47 Route Overview: East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Woodside, Maspeth and Glendale
The Q47 connects several busy Queens travel zones. It is useful for riders moving between the 94/95 Street and Ditmars Boulevard area, 23 Avenue, Astoria Boulevard, Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue / 74 Street, Woodside Avenue, 69 Street, Calamus Avenue, Grand Avenue, 80 Street and Cooper Avenue / 81 Street.
East Elmhurst end
The East Elmhurst terminal area is around 94/95 Street and Ditmars Boulevard, near Q33, Q70-SBS, Q72 and M60-SBS airport-area travel choices.
Jackson Heights core
The Broadway / Roosevelt Avenue / 74 Street area is the major subway and bus transfer point. Add walking time here.
80 Street and Glendale end
Glendale-bound trips continue toward 80 Street, Cooper Avenue and 81 Street near Atlas Park-side destinations.
💡 Senior-friendly route rule
Do not memorize the whole route. Remember the two ends: East Elmhurst / Ditmars and Glendale / Cooper Av. Then use Bus Time to find the exact stop nearest you.
Q47 Redesign Changes: What Riders Must Know Now
The Queens Bus Network Redesign changed Q47 in a way that matters for everyday riders. The route was rerouted through Woodside and Jackson Heights, extended along 23 Avenue to the existing Q33 terminal at 94 Street / Ditmars Boulevard, and Q47 service to LaGuardia Airport Terminal A was discontinued and replaced by Q33.
| Official change | What it means | Rider action |
|---|---|---|
| Extended to 94 St / Ditmars Blvd | East Elmhurst-bound Q47 now reaches the existing Q33 terminal area. | Check whether your East Elmhurst stop is on 23 Av, 94 St or 95 St. |
| Rerouted through Woodside and Jackson Heights | Old Roosevelt Avenue / 73 Street habits may be wrong. | Confirm the current stop in Bus Time, especially near Broadway / Roosevelt Av. |
| Terminal A service discontinued | Waiting for Q47 at LaGuardia Terminal A is no longer correct. | Use Q33 for the replacement Terminal A connection. |
| Bulova Corporate Center served from Astoria Blvd and 80 St | Q47 serves this area on all trips under the official redesign note. | Use the current MTA stop list before walking to the area. |
| Some stops removed | Average stop spacing increased to improve speed and reliability. | Do not rely on an old screenshot, app favorite or printed note. |
🛫 LaGuardia Airport correction
For Q47, the most important airport detail is what not to do: do not expect Q47 to take you to LaGuardia Terminal A. Use Q33 for Terminal A, and check Q70-SBS or M60-SBS separately for other LaGuardia travel patterns.
Q47 Schedule Summary: Weekday, Saturday, Sunday, School-Day and Late-Evening Planning
The official Q47 timetable includes separate weekday, Saturday and Sunday tables. It is not a 24-hour route. The route-profile section lists service spans around early morning through after midnight, with weekend timing and late-evening spacing different from weekday peak service.
| Service period | Direction / pattern | Key timepoints shown by MTA | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekday to East Elmhurst | 80 St / Cooper Av toward 95 St / Ditmars Blvd | 80 St / Cooper Av, 79 St / Grand Av, 69 St / 49 Av, Broadway / Roosevelt Av, Astoria Blvd / 77 St, 95 St / Ditmars Blvd | Use PDF for planning; use Bus Time for your exact stop. |
| Weekday to Glendale | 94 St / Ditmars Blvd toward Cooper Av / 81 St | 94 St / Ditmars Blvd, 82 St / Astoria Blvd, 75 St / Broadway, Grand Av / 79 St, Cooper Av / 81 St | Confirm stop side around 75 St / Broadway and Woodside. |
| Saturday | Both directions | Separate Saturday table in the MTA timetable | Do not use weekday commute memory on Saturday. |
| Sunday | Both directions | Separate Sunday table in the MTA timetable | Expect wider spacing and check late-evening times carefully. |
| School-day trips | Selected timetable rows may show SD | SD trips operate only when schools are in session | Do not count on SD trips when schools are closed. |
⚠️ Timepoint warning
The official Q47 timetable shows key timepoints only. Your actual stop may be between timepoints, so use Bus Time or the MTA app to see the stop nearest you and estimated arrivals.
Q47 Major Stops: Use These for Orientation, Not Final Boarding
Q47 has many local stops. The list below gives the main corridor and timepoint areas a rider should recognize. For final boarding, match your exact stop name or stop code in MTA Bus Time.
Major stops toward East Elmhurst
80 St / Cooper Av, 80 St / 68 Av, 80 St / Metropolitan Av, 80 St / Juniper Valley Rd, 80 St / Eliot Av, 79 St / Grand Av, Calamus Av / 74 St, 69 St / 49 Av, Woodside Av / 72 St, Broadway / Roosevelt Av, 74 St / 37 Av, 74 St / Northern Blvd, Astoria Blvd / 77 St, 23 Av / 82 St, 23 Av / 94 St and 95 St / Ditmars Blvd.
Major stops toward Glendale
94 St / Ditmars Blvd, 94 St / 23 Av, 23 Av / 90 St, 23 Av / 85 St, 82 St / Astoria Blvd, 80 St / Astoria Blvd, 78 St / 30 Av, 31 Av / 77 St, 75 St / Broadway, Woodside Av / 75 St, 69 St / Queens Blvd area, Calamus Av / 71 St, Grand Av / 79 St, 80 St / Eliot Av, 80 St / Metropolitan Av and Cooper Av / 81 St.
Exact stop matters
“Jackson Heights,” “80 Street,” “Astoria Boulevard,” or “Glendale” is not precise enough. Use a stop code, posted sign, Bus Time result or exact intersection.
- At 74 St / Roosevelt Av: check whether you are on the correct street side before choosing Q47.
- At 23 Av / Ditmars: separate airport-area routes may be close, so read the destination sign.
- At 80 St / Cooper Av: confirm the route sign lists Q47 and your direction is correct.
- At Queens Blvd / 69 St areas: nearby routes can confuse app users; exact stop selection matters.
- At night: use live arrival and wait in a visible, well-lit area when possible.

If a third-party app, old screenshot, Google map and MTA Bus Time disagree, use official MTA Bus Time, the MTA timetable and current service alerts for the final decision.
Q47 Fare and OMNY: Local Bus Fare, Transfers, Cash and Children
Q47 is local bus service, not express bus service. MTA lists the fare at $3 for most riders on subways and local, limited, rush and Select Bus Service buses. On local buses, riders board at the front door and tap a contactless card, phone, wearable device or OMNY Card on the reader.
| Fare topic | What Q47 riders should know | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Base fare | Most local bus riders pay the regular $3 fare under current MTA rules. | Confusing Q47 local bus fare with express bus fare. |
| OMNY | Tap at the front door with the same card, phone, wearable or OMNY Card. | Switching between card and phone, then losing transfer tracking. |
| Transfer | MTA says riders get one free transfer within two hours when using the same payment method. | Using one device on the bus and another at the subway. |
| Cash | Cash is currently accepted on local buses as exact coins; no bills, pennies or change. | Expecting the farebox to accept bills or make change. |
| Children | Up to three children under 44 inches ride free with a fare-paying adult on local bus/subway trips. | Not checking the child height rule before family travel. |
| MetroCard transition | MTA says MetroCard and cash acceptance will stop later in 2026, with the exact date to be announced. | Depending on cash or MetroCard without checking the current MTA notice. |

💳 Open MTA Fare GuideQ47 Holiday and School-Day Notes
The official Q47 timetable includes holiday schedule rules and school-day notes. These are important for students, school staff, airport-area transfers, late-evening trips, medical visits, work shifts and riders making timed subway connections.
- SD: the trip runs only when schools are in session.
- School closed: do not count on a trip marked SD.
- Sunday schedule holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
- Saturday schedule holidays: Independence Day and Presidents Day.
- Reduced weekday schedule: Martin Luther King Day and Friday after Thanksgiving.
- Other days: a weekday schedule runs unless MTA lists a different service plan or alert.
💡 Appointment rule
For work, school, court, medical visits, subway transfers or airport-area connections, plan one earlier Q47 when possible. A small stop-side mistake can erase a tight connection.
Q47 Connections: Subway, Q33, Q70-SBS, M60-SBS and Queens Bus Transfers
The Q47 is useful because it crosses several major Queens transfer points. It helps riders connect with Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue / 74 Street, Woodside, Astoria Boulevard, Ditmars Boulevard, Grand Avenue and Glendale-side bus corridors.
Subway logic
Use Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Av / 74 St for 7, E, F, M and R transfer planning, but add walking time between bus stops and subway entrances.
Terminal A logic
Use Q33 for the replacement LaGuardia Terminal A connection. Do not wait for Q47 at Terminal A.
Airport-area logic
Q70-SBS and M60-SBS may appear near the East Elmhurst / Ditmars area, but they have different route patterns and airport uses.
⚠️ Same-street wrong-bus trap
Several Queens routes share nearby stops around Broadway, Roosevelt Av, 74 St, Astoria Blvd, 23 Av and Ditmars Blvd. Confirm the destination sign says Q47 and matches your direction before boarding.
Video Help: Queens Bus Network Redesign Context
The Q47 changed as part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign. This video is included as context only; for exact Q47 times, stop locations and fare rules, use the official timetable, MTA Bus Time and official MTA pages above.
⚠️ No custom VideoObject schema added

Accessibility and First-Time Rider Help for Q47
For seniors, wheelchair users, riders with mobility devices, caregivers, students and first-time Queens riders, the safest habit is to confirm route, direction, exact stop and fare before leaving home. At the stop, wait near the bus sign where the driver can see you.
- Boarding help: signal the driver if you need the bus positioned, kneeling feature, ramp or lift.
- Wheelchair or scooter: lock brakes during boarding and after being positioned on board.
- Priority seating: senior and disability priority seating is located behind the driver.
- Low vision help: ask the operator to notify you when your stop is next.
- Late-night local bus option: Request-A-Stop is available from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. when the operator can stop safely.
- Caregiver tip: share the route code, direction, exact stop name and stop code, not just “Jackson Heights” or “Glendale.”

Common Q47 Schedule Mistakes That Waste Time
Waiting for Q47 at Terminal A
Q47 no longer serves LaGuardia Terminal A. Use Q33 for that replacement connection.

Ignoring timepoint limits

Wrong stop side
East Elmhurst-bound and Glendale-bound stops can be on different sides around busy intersections.
Using pre-redesign habits
Old Roosevelt Av, 73 St or airport patterns may be wrong after the redesign.
Payment mismatch
Using different cards or devices can break transfer tracking. Tap the same way for connected trips.
