QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) – Major changes are coming to more than 100 bus routes in Queens and MTA officials are trying to make sure New Yorkers know what to expect.

The MTA is hosting a series of pop-up events to help alert commuters to the changes coming to their bus routes this summer. Starting in June the transit agency will roll out new routes, discontinue some, and change others as part of the Queens Bus Network Redesign.

MTA officials will host 23 pop-up events between next Tuesday and May 22 throughout Queens and Long Island. Each pop-up will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

During the event New Yorkers can learn specifics about when and how each route will change as well as find information on the project phasing guide.

The Queens Bus Network Redesign plan will take place in two phase aligning with regular seasonal timetable changes. In the first phase the MTA will launch 16 new routes, implement changes on 67 routes, and discontinue five routes.

In phase two, the transit agency will launch one route, change 37 others, and discontinue one more.

Below is a list of locations for the MTA pop-up events.
