Is the Q line operating right now, and how many Q trains are running?

Yes. The Q line is operating right now (Good Service in our model). Our live feed maps about 31 active train(s) on this line right now.

Is the Q train running well right now?

Right now our algorithm rates this line as Good Service based on recent wait times and live reliability. There are no active alerts for this route in our feed right now.

When does the Q service change?

Service patterns often change during late nights (11 PM – 5 AM) and weekends for planned work. Always check active alerts.

How much does an NYC Subway ride on the Q train cost (OMNY, Apple Pay, card)?

A standard one-way NYC Subway fare—including the Q train—is $3.00 when you tap OMNY at the turnstile (official MTA base fare as of September 2026). You can pay with a contactless credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a physical or digital OMNY card. Free in-system transfers and time-limited transfers to other MTA subway lines and local buses follow MTA rules; for discounts, commuter benefits, and the latest fare rules, open AP Transit on our homepage.

How often does the Q train come, and what is the maximum wait?

Right now, Q trains are arriving approximately every 4 minutes on average. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between Q trains reach about 10 minutes (worst-case spacing—your station and direction may differ).

Which stations may have spacing issues for the next Q train (ETA on the arriving train)?

For the next Q train arriving at each listed stop, our feed’s ETA reliability score on that arrival is low. Scores under 60 usually align with about five minutes of extra variability; scores under 30 can mean larger gaps ahead. Stations are grouped by severity—at most two panels.
