No train reaches LaGuardia Airport (LGA) directly. You get there by bus, usually after a subway or Long Island Rail Road ride. The Q70 LaGuardia Link is free, and the M60 Select Bus Service costs the regular $3 fare.
| Option | Fare | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Subway + Q70 LaGuardia Link | $3.00 | Subway to Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Av / 74 St–Broadway, then follow signs to the free Q70. |
| LIRR + Q70 LaGuardia Link | $5.25 / $7.25 | LIRR from Penn Station or Grand Central Madison to Woodside (CityTicket off-peak / peak), then walk to the Q70 stop on Roosevelt Avenue. |
| M60 Select Bus Service | $3.00 | From upper Manhattan, stopping at every airport terminal. Transfers from the subway are free within two hours. |
The Q70 serves Terminals B and C. Terminal A is reached by an airport shuttle from Terminal B. At the city end, it connects with the subway at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Av / 74 St–Broadway and with the LIRR at Woodside. Not all LIRR trains stop at Woodside, so check the timetable first.
The M60 runs from upper Manhattan to LaGuardia and stops at every terminal. Pay the $3 fare by tapping a contactless card, phone or OMNY card; a transfer from the subway within two hours is free. See fares.
