The Q58 and Q58 Limited are bus routes that constitute a public transit line operating primarily in Queens, New York City, with its southern terminal on the border with Brooklyn. The Q58 is operated by the MTA New York City Transit Authority. Its precursor was a streetcar line that began operation in November 1899.^[3] and was known variously as the Flushing–Ridgewood Line, the Corona Avenue Line,^[1] and the Fresh Pond Road Line. The route became a bus line in 1949.^[1]

The Q58 operates between two major bus/subway hubs: the Ridgewood Terminal on the border of Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn; and the Flushing – Main Street terminal in Downtown Flushing, Queens. It is the busiest bus line in the borough of Queens,^[4] and the second busiest in the city, after the M15, with 7.12 million people riding the route in 2023.^[2]
