Weekday M60 Service Frequency
The M60 timetable includes closely spaced departures during busy periods. Many weekday daytime departures run approximately every 6–12 minutes, while some overnight periods have gaps of 20–30 minutes. These are broad patterns rather than guarantees for an individual stop.
Does the M60 Run Overnight?
Yes. The official timetable lists M60-SBS trips through the overnight hours. However, overnight service is less frequent than peak daytime service. Always check the precise late-night trip, especially around midnight when the operating date changes.
M60 Bus Schedule From LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan
When returning from LaGuardia, select SELECT BUS WEST SIDE BROADWAY-106 ST. The official westbound timetable uses Terminal B, Hoyt Avenue/31st Street and West 106th Street/Broadway as its main timepoints.

|---|---|---|---|
| 4:08 AM | 4:25 AM | 4:48 AM | 40 minutes |

| 7:05 AM | 7:27 AM | 8:04 AM | 59 minutes |
| 8:17 AM | 8:40 AM | 9:23 AM | 66 minutes |
If your flight arrives late, check live service again after collecting baggage. The time listed for Terminal B may not be your boarding time from another terminal.

All Major M60-SBS Stops Toward LaGuardia Airport

How to Take the M60 Bus to LaGuardia Terminals A, B and C
The M60-SBS is useful for travelers coming from Harlem, the Upper West Side, East Harlem or Astoria. You should check which terminal your airline uses before boarding.
The official MTA timetable uses LaGuardia Terminal B as its main airport timepoint. Airport-bound and Manhattan-bound stop locations should still be confirmed on site.
MTA Bus Time lists Terminal C on the airport-bound M60-SBS route. Allow time to reach your airline check-in area after leaving the bus.
Terminal A/Marine Air Terminal appears on the current Manhattan-bound M60 pattern. Confirm the correct airport-bound access or alternative terminal connection before traveling.
Step-by-Step: Manhattan to LaGuardia
Choose a valid boarding stop on the official route.
Look for the LaGuardia Airport headsign.
Tap OMNY/contactless or use valid SBS stop-payment instructions.
Check delays on 125th Street, in Astoria and at LGA.
Follow airline and terminal wayfinding signs.
How Much Time Should I Allow Before My Flight?
Selected MTA trips from Broadway/W 106th Street to Terminal B take roughly 40–60 minutes, but busy periods may take longer. Add travel to the stop, waiting, traffic disruption, walking inside the airport, baggage check and security screening.
Use your airline’s recommended check-in lead time. For international flights or checked baggage, allow additional time appropriate to your circumstances. The scheduled bus arrival time is not your flight gate arrival time.
Best Subway Connections for the M60-SBS
M60-SBS is especially valuable because it connects LaGuardia with several subway and rail stations along 125th Street and Astoria. Select the transfer that matches your trip rather than always starting at Broadway/W 106th Street.
| Bus stop area | Rail connection | Rider use |
|---|---|---|
| Broadway / W 116 St | 1 train at 116 St–Columbia University | Upper West Side and Broadway corridor travel. |
| W 125 St / St Nicholas Av | A/B/C/D trains at 125 St | Harlem and West Side subway connections. |
| W 125 St / Malcolm X Blvd | 2/3 trains at 125 St | Central Harlem and Manhattan subway travel. |
| E 125 St / Madison Av | Harlem-125th Street Metro-North | Regional rail travel to/from northern suburbs. |
| E 125 St / Lexington Av | 4/5/6 trains at 125 St | East Side subway and downtown connections. |
| Hoyt Av South / 31 St | N/W trains at Astoria Blvd | Queens and Midtown travel. |
From Midtown Manhattan to LaGuardia
If you are starting in Midtown rather than the Upper West Side, it may be easier to take a subway to a 125th Street M60 stop or use another airport bus connection. Compare the total journey time, luggage handling and walking distance before choosing.

How Much Does the NYC M60 Bus Cost in 2026?

Standard MTA subway/local-bus fare.

Eligible subway/local-bus payments using the same fare method.
Children under 44 inches with an accompanying adult, subject to MTA rules.
How to Pay on M60 Select Bus Service

M60-SBS vs. Free Q70 LaGuardia Link

| Feature | M60-SBS | Q70 LaGuardia Link |
|---|---|---|
| Fare | $3 regular fare | Fare-free |
| Primary corridor | Upper West Side, Harlem, 125th St, Astoria | Jackson Heights/74th St, Woodside and LaGuardia |
