The Q58 and Q98 Limited are bus routes that constitute a public transit line operating primarily in Queens, New York City, with its southern terminal on the border with Brooklyn. Both routes are operated by the MTA New York City Transit Authority. Its precursor was a streetcar line that began operation in November 1899.{{cite web|last1=Roberts|first1=John A.|title=A Grand Tale of Two Trolley Lines|url=http://www.junipercivic.com/historyArticle.asp?nid=20#.VnG5qvkrJhE|publisher=Juniper Park Civic Association|access-date=December 16, 2015}} and was known variously as the Flushing–Ridgewood Line, the Corona Avenue Line,{{cite web|title=Buses to Replace Crosstown Trolley|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/57072898/?terms=flushing%2Bridgewood%2Bbus|via=Newspapers.com|newspaper=Brooklyn Daily Eagle|date=July 14, 1949|access-date=September 30, 2015}} and the Fresh Pond Road Line. The route became a bus line in 1949. Limited-stop service on the Q58 route was implemented in 2010 and was replaced with the brand-new Q98 in 2025.
The Q58 and Q98 operate between two major bus/subway hubs: the Ridgewood Terminal on the border of Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn; and the Flushing – Main Street terminal in Downtown Flushing, Queens. The Q58 is the busiest bus line in the borough of Queens, and the second busiest in the city, after the M15, with 7.19 million people riding the route in 2023.
Route description
The original route of the Flushing–Ridgewood streetcar began at 41st Road and Main Street in Downtown Flushing, just south of the Main Street station of the Long Island Rail Road, and several blocks south of the Main Street subway station on the IRT Flushing Line. It ran south on Lawrence and Rodman Streets, and west on Horace Harding Boulevard to Corona, crossing the Flushing River at Strong's Causeway. It then ran generally west along the winding Corona Avenue to Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst, and on Grand Avenue to Maspeth. Between Junction Boulevard in Corona and the intersection of Grand and Flushing Avenues in Maspeth, the line shared a right-of-way with the Grand Street Line. After a short portion on Flushing Avenue and 61st Street, it ran south down Fresh Pond Road to the Fresh Pond Road station of the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line, where a major trolley barn existed. It then followed the right-of-way of the Myrtle El and former Lutheran Cemetery Surface Line to its own dedicated barn at the Ridgewood Depot, located at Palmetto Street underneath the Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenue elevated station.{{cite web|title=Public Notices|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/57096820/?terms=%22Flushing%2Bridgewood%22%2Bline|via=Newspapers.com|newspaper=Brooklyn Daily Eagle|access-date=December 17, 2015|date=June 23, 1949}}{{cite book|author=Branford Electric Railway Association|author-link=Shore Line Trolley Museum|title=Brooklyn Streetcars|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DE10s_Ndmf4C&pg=PT2|date=September 29, 2008|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=978-1-4396-2045-8}}{{cite web|title=New L Train Service to Lutheran Cemetery: B.R.T.

The current Q58 bus route follows the former trolley route, with some exceptions. The right-of-ways of Lawrence Street and Rodman Street along the route have since been replaced with College Point Boulevard, while the Long Island Expressway was built over the corridor containing Horace Harding Boulevard and Strong's Causeway. Some northbound buses may terminate at Long Island Expressway and 108th Street, and some southbound buses may terminate at Fresh Pond Road and 67th Avenue. The former trolley barn at Fresh Pond Road is now the Fresh Pond Bus Depot in Ridgewood, where the route is now dispatched from (during 2019, the route was dispatched from the Grand Avenue Depot in Maspeth).{{cite book|last=Sparberg|first=Andrew J.|title=From a Nickel to a Token: The Journey from Board of Transportation to MTA|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oktGCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA111|date=October 1, 2014|publisher=Fordham University Press|isbn=978-0-8232-6190-1}}{{cite NYC bus|Q58}}{{cite news|title=A Reader Clarifies Location Of Old Trolley Car Crossing|url=http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/sites/www.timesnewsweekly.com/files/archives/Archives2003/Jul.-Sept.2003/073103/NewFiles/OURNEIGH.html|access-date=March 21, 2016|work=Times Newsweekly|date=July 31, 2003|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912210452/http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/sites/www.timesnewsweekly.com/files/archives/Archives2003/Jul.-Sept.2003/073103/NewFiles/OURNEIGH.html|archive-date=September 12, 2015}}{{cite news|title=$2 Million Bus Garage to Open|url=http://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252014%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201960%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201960%2520-%25203984.pdf&highlightsFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fultonhistory.com%2Fhighlighter%2Fhits%2F25e67e46571707b807bd8d8cc93a57c6#page=1|access-date=March 21, 2016|work=Long Island Star-Journal|agency=Fultonhistory.com|date=May 24, 1960|page=14}} Due to using several different streets, including winding roads and many tight turns, the Q58 consistently ranks among the slowest bus routes in New York City, and has been cited for pedestrian safety issues.{{cite web|last1=Pozarycki|first1=Robert|title=Getting Nowhere Fast: Q58 Slowest Bus in Queens Again|url=http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2013-12-26/Local_News/GETTING_NOWHERE_FAST.html|publisher=TimesNewsweekly|access-date=December 17, 2015|date=December 26, 2013}}{{cite web|last1=Giudice|first1=Anthony|title=Fixing Fatal Turns: MTA Eyes Bus Changes At Deadly Ridgewood/Bushwick Corner|url=http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2015-02-26/Front_Page/FIXING_FATAL_TURNS.html|publisher=TimesNewsweekly|access-date=December 17, 2015|date=February 26, 2015}} Short strips of the trolley tracks still exist in Ridgewood, at 60th Place and at Woodbine Street underneath the Myrtle El.

The Q98 generally follows the Q58's route, except for between the Grand Avenue–Queens Boulevard and Horace Harding Boulevard–108th Street intersections. Eastbound (toward Flushing), the Q58 and Q98 begins at Ridgewood Terminal and follows several local streets to reach Fresh Pond Road, where it turns north. The Q58 and Q98 then turn east along Grand Avenue and continue to Queens Boulevard.{{cite web |title=Q58 Local |url=https://www.mta.info/project/queens-bus-network-redesign/routes/q58-local |access-date=June 28, 2025 |website=MTA}}{{cite web |title=Q98 Limited |url=https://www.mta.info/project/queens-bus-network-redesign/routes/q98-limited |access-date=June 28, 2025 |website=MTA}} The Q58 continues north along Broadway, east along Corona Avenue, and then south along 108th Street before turning east along Horace Harding Expressway. The Q98 takes a more direct route east of the Grand Avenue–Queens Boulevard intersection, turning southeast along Queens Boulevard and east along Horace Harding Expressway. Both routes turn north along College Point Boulevard to 41st Road, where they turn east, terminating at Main Street. The westbound routes (toward Ridgewood) are mostly the same as their Flushing-bound counterparts, except that they begin at Sanford Avenue instead of 41st Road, and use different streets in Ridgewood.
History
=Streetcar service=
File:NYC Transit Cummins Nova RTS 9144.jpg
The streetcar line was operated by the Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation, a subsidiary of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT) and later Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) which operated many streetcar lines, and several rapid transit lines including some of the city's first subway lines.{{cite web|title=Trolley Line Objects To Bus Route to Fair|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/52629961/?terms=%22Flushing%2Bridgewood%22%2Bline%2Bbus|via=Newspapers.com|newspaper=Brooklyn Daily Eagle|access-date=December 17, 2015|page=3|date=May 10, 1939}} The line began operation on June 20, 1896, as the Fresh Pond Road Line. It ran the same route as the modern Q58 from Ridgewood to Corona, turning north at Junction Boulevard (then Junction Avenue) and Corona Avenue towards Bowery Bay (the current site of LaGuardia Airport). In November 1899, the Flushing–Ridgewood routing began service. Around this time, the Junction Boulevard portion of the line became a shuttle known as the North Beach Line, while the Grand Street Line was truncated to the Maspeth Trolley Depot at Grand Avenue and 69th Street. On October 19, 1919, the line was extended from the Fresh Pond Depot south to Ridgewood terminal at the Brooklyn-Queens line.{{cite news|title=Surface Lines Re-Routed and Transfers Abolished|url=http://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252014%2FBrooklyn%2520NY%2520Standard%2520Union%2FBrooklyn%2520NY%2520Standard%2520Union%25201919%2FBrooklyn%2520NY%2520Standard%2520Union%25201919%2520-%25206403.pdf&highlightsFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fultonhistory.com%2Fhighlighter%2Fhits%2Fbc4fd1479b101d782c06ad0d734bf15c#page=1|access-date=March 21, 2016|work=Brooklyn Standard Union|agency=Fultonhistory.com|date=October 17, 1919|page=1}} Between 1939 and 1940, the line served passengers going to the 1939 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park.{{cite book|author=Stephen L.

=Bus service=
Beginning in the 1920s, many streetcar lines in Queens, Brooklyn, and the rest of the city began to be replaced by buses, particularly after the unification of city's three primary transit companies (including the BMT) under municipal operations in June 1940. Buses began running on the line as early as 1946.{{cite web|title=He Missed a Bus, City Misses a Bus, Cops Give a Lift|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/52864606/?terms=%22Flushing%2Bridgewood%22%2Bline|via=Newspapers.com|newspaper=Brooklyn Daily Eagle|access-date=December 17, 2015|page=3|date=September 1, 1946}} On June 30, 1949, the New York City Board of Estimate approved the full motorization of the line with buses.{{cite news|title=Shifts to Buses Okayed by Board|url=http://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252014%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201949%2FLong%2520Island%2520%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201949%2520-%25204576.pdf&highlightsFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fultonhistory.com%2Fhighlighter%2Fhits%2F6184100fd73ca9e87daf98b411f1301d#page=1|access-date=March 21, 2016|work=Long Island Star-Journal|agency=Fultonhistory.com|date=July 1, 1949|page=7}} The Flushing–Ridgewood line was officially replaced by city-owned buses on July 17, 1949, The line was designated B58 ("B" the designation for buses based in Brooklyn), and the line was renamed the Corona Avenue Line. The early fleet consisted of General Motors-built buses.
On July 27, 1960, the B58 was moved to the newly opened Fresh Pond Bus Depot, after operating from bus depots in Brooklyn. During the 1964 New York World's Fair, the B58 was rerouted to stop at the Rodman Street entrance of Flushing Meadows Park.{{cite web|title=2 New Bus Routes Will Link Brooklyn With World's Fair|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1964/02/05/97168226.pdf|work=The New York Times|access-date=December 17, 2015|date=February 5, 1964}}{{cite news|title=TA Schedules Fair Buses|url=http://fultonhistory.com/highlighter/highlight-for-xml?altUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ffultonhistory.com%2FNewspaper%252014%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%2FLong%2520Island%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201964%2FLong%2520Island%2520%2520City%2520NY%2520Star%2520Journal%25201964%2520-%25202911.pdf|access-date=January 13, 2016|work=Long Island Star-Journal|agency=Fultonhistory.com|date=March 23, 1964|page=3}} On December 11, 1988, the B58 was renumbered to the Q58.{{cite news|work=New York Times|url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0714F7345D0C718DDDAB0994D0484D81|title=All Aboard...Somewhere...for Subway Changes!|date=December 12, 1988|page=B1}} Due to slow trips and high passenger load, limited-stop service was added to the route on September 12, 2010.{{cite web|last1=Pozarycki|first1=Robert|title=Q58 Limited Service Begins: MTA Aims To Make Commuting Faster|url=http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2010-09-16/Local_News/Q58_Limited_Service_Begins.html|publisher=TimesNewsweekly|access-date=December 16, 2015|date=September 16, 2010|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222103857/http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2010-09-16/Local_News/Q58_Limited_Service_Begins.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|last1=Pozarycki|first1=Robert|title=A Faster Ride On Local Bus: MTA Makes Plans For Q58 Limited Line|url=http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2010-05-20/Local_News/A_FASTER_RIDE____ON_LOCAL_BUS.html|publisher=TimesNewsweekly|access-date=December 16, 2015|date=May 20, 2010|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222081342/http://www.timesnewsweekly.com/news/2010-05-20/Local_News/A_FASTER_RIDE____ON_LOCAL_BUS.html|url-status=dead}} Community Boards 5 and 8 had been asking for the introduction of limited-stop service for the Q58 for years, but limited service was only added at this time because the Q58 had reached the headway required for limited-stop service. Until at least 2014, Casey Stengel Depot operated school trippers to Junction Boulevard. On January 6, 2019, the Q58 was moved to the Grand Avenue Depot, possibly in preparation for conversion to Select Bus Service (SBS), since the Grand Avenue Depot can hold the articulated buses used on the SBS system. However, the Q58 was moved back to the Fresh Pond Depot on January 19, 2020.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/100524_1100_Transit.pdf|title=Transit Committee Meeting May 2010|date=May 24, 2010|website=mta.info|pages=116–120|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101125215618/http://www.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/100524_1100_Transit.pdf|archive-date=November 25, 2010|url-status=dead|access-date=May 14, 2017}}
==Bus redesign==
In December 2019, the MTA released a draft redesign of the Queens bus network.{{cite web|url=https://qns.com/story/2019/12/17/mta-gives-sneak-peek-of-transformative-queens-bus-network-redesign-plan-at-queens-borough-board-meeting/|title=MTA gives 'sneak peek' of transformative Queens bus network redesign plan|last=Acevedo|first=Angélica|date=December 17, 2019|website=QNS.com|access-date=January 1, 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2019/12/31/mta-unveils-draft-proposal-to-redesign-bus-network-in-queens|title=MTA Unveils Draft Proposal to Redesign Bus Network in Queens|date=December 31, 2019|website=Spectrum News NY1 | New York City|access-date=January 1, 2020}} As part of the redesign, the Q58 would have become a "intra-borough" route called the QT58, and it would be rerouted east of 108th Street to use Roosevelt Avenue rather than Horace Harding Expressway and College Point Boulevard. A new "high-density" route known as the QT6 would have been created, running parallel to the QT58 from Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues to Grand Avenue–Newtown before running along Queens Boulevard, Horace Harding Expressway, and College Point Boulevard. The QT6 would have fewer stops than the QT58.{{cite web|url=https://new.mta.info/document/12706|title=Draft Plan, Queens Bus Network Redesign|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|date=December 2019|access-date=January 1, 2020}} The redesign was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City in 2020,{{Cite web|title=Queens bus network redesign remains on hold amid COVID-19 pandemic: MTA|url=https://qns.com/story/2020/06/01/queens-bus-network-redesign-remains-on-hold-amid-covid-19-pandemic-mta/|access-date=July 5, 2020|website=QNS.com|language=en-US|archive-date=July 5, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200705220043/https://qns.com/story/2020/06/01/queens-bus-network-redesign-remains-on-hold-amid-covid-19-pandemic-mta/|url-status=dead}} and the original draft plan was dropped due to negative feedback.{{cite web | last=Duggan | first=Kevin | title=MTA to release 'totally redone' Queens bus network redesign draft in early 2022 | website=amNewYork | date=December 15, 2021 | url=https://www.amny.com/transit/mta-to-release-totally-redone-queens-bus-network-redesign-draft-in-early-2022/ | access-date=January 21, 2022}}

A new "crosstown" route with limited stops, the Q98, was also proposed; it would duplicate the QT6 proposal and would make many of the same stops as the existing Q58 Limited. West of the intersection of Grand Avenue and Queens Boulevard, the Q98 would follow the Q58. East of that intersection, the Q98 would run along Queens Boulevard, Horace Harding Expressway, and College Point Boulevard.{{cite web|url=https://new.mta.info/document/79636|title=Draft Plan, Queens Bus Network Redesign|publisher=Metropolitan Transportation Authority|date=March 2022|access-date=January 1, 2020}}
