The bus services operated by the company go back to a long line of companies extending back to the horsecar service in the village of Astoria in the 1860s. It was one of several privately-operated bus companies in New York City. Queens Surface Corp. is privately-held by the Burke family. In 1988, Queens Surface Corporation was formed to replace the bus services then operated by Queens/Steinway Transit Corp., which itself was established following the merger of Steinway Transit Corp. into Queens Transit Corp. in 1986.

This acquisition was made for the purpose of replacing the street railway operations with buses and selling the scrap steel. 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Queens Surface Corporation facility was located at 128-15 28th Avenue near the New York Times printing plant in the College Point neighborhood of Queens, New York. The routes operated by Queens Surface Corp. were taken over by the City of New York and turned over to the MTA Bus Company for operation on January 3, 2005; the depot has been renamed the College Point Bus Depot. After the takeover, most of buses operated by Queen Surface buses underwent quick rehabilitation, while some others were scrapped due to frame rotting issues on the older express bus fleet.
