Is the Q train running well right now?

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 July 2026).

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

Right now, Q trains are arriving approximately every 14 minutes on average. In our current measurement window, the longest gaps between Q trains reach about 7 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.

Which stations on the Q line currently have no service or a closed direction for Q trains?
