NYCT Q16 Bus Ride via Francis Lewis Blvd: 2015 New Flyer XD40 7407 From Fort Totten to Flushing

Taken on 6/22/25. Video onboard 2015 New Flyer XD40 7407 operating on the Q16 via the former Francis Lewis Boulevard branch through Clearview. Prior to the Queens Bus Redesign the Q16 alternated between serving either Utopia Parkway or Willets Point & Francis Lewis Boulevards. As part of the Queens Bus Redesign, the Utopia Parkway branch was retained. All buses operating on the Francis Lewis Boulevard branch now serve Utopia Parkway. While some parts along the former branch are still close to the current Q16, others are much further away not within reasonable walking distance. For parts of these areas, the new Q61 serves as a nearby alternative. The Q61 runs along Willets Point Boulevard (west of Francis Lewis Blvd) to/from Flushing and north via Francis Lewis Boulevard to Beechhurst. There is no local service on Willets Point Boulevard east of Francis Lewis Boulevard as a result of the discontinuation of this branch.
