The MTA announced a number of changes to the Queens bus routes for 2025. In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network with 77 routes. The final redesign was initially expected in mid- or late 2020, but the first draft attracted overwhelmingly negative feedback, with 11,000 comments about the plans. Planning resumed in mid-2021. The original draft plan was dropped, and a revised plan with 85 routes was released on March 29, 2022. The new plan retained the "Q" prefix and preserves most of the existing routes. However, the new plan still contained significant changes compared with the existing bus map; only the Q70 SBS was not modified at all. In addition, 11 routes will be eliminated, 20 routes will be created, and 29 others will be truncated, extended, or combined with other routes. A final plan was to have been released in early 2023 but was delayed until December 2023. The final plan includes one new route to Brooklyn, four new local routes, eight routes with new overnight service, and 27 rush routes. A second final plan was announced in December 2024. The new plans called for 124 bus routes, including 25 rush routes and 20 routes with expanded service hours. The routes were implemented in two parts, on June 29 and August 31, 2025. Several Brooklyn routes are being changed; for these changes, see . For a list of proposed new express bus routes, see . There are to be four types of routes: • Select Bus Service (originally high-density • Rush (originally subway connector The first phase took effect June 29, 2025.

Below are the list of former Queens bus routes, including the previous route designations of current routes. Several route numbers for NYCTA buses in Queens and other boroughs were changed on July 1, 1974. On December 11, 1988, when the Archer Avenue lines opened to Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer station, some of the Brooklyn "B" routes that operate 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. == References ==
