Long Island City – Queens Plaza

The Q69 and Q100 Limited bus routes constitutes a public transit line in western Queens, New York City, United States. Beginning at Queens Plaza in Long Island City, the routes run primarily along 21st Street through the neighborhoods of Long Island City and Astoria. The Q100 continues north of Queens across Bowery Bay to the city jail complex on Rikers Island in the Bronx, the only public transit service to the island. The Q69 (originally the Q19A) was formerly privately operated by the Triboro Coach Corporation, and the Q100 (formerly the Q101R) by the Queens Surface Corporation, under subsidized franchises with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT). The routes are now operated by MTA Regional Bus Operations under the MTA Bus Company brand.

The Q69 and Q100 both begin on Queens Plaza in Long Island City, sharing a south-north corridor along 21st Street through Long Island City and Astoria. The Q69 provides local service along 21st Street between Queens Plaza and Ditmars Boulevard, while the Q100 provides limited-stop service along the street. Both routes operate out of the LaGuardia Depot in East Elmhurst.
