The Department of Transportation has moved the Downtown Flushing Commuter Van stop back to its original site at 41st Avenue and Main Street after developers completed a major housing complex.  

The DOT had moved the stop to Sanford Avenue nearby during the construction of the One Flushing development in 2017.

“Commuter vans offer a great alternative to the city’s more traditional modes of transportation, and offer competitive prices and convenience in the busy downtown Flushing transportation hub,” said Councilmember Peter Koo. “Thank you to the DOT for working with our community to make sure this transition period goes smoothly as we relocate the bus stops and coordinate with city agencies and local businesses.”
