Current MTA timetable

M60-SBS Schedule & Service Times

The current official timetable is effective September 6, 2026. MTA timetable pages list selected timepoints rather than every stop. For your exact boarding stop, use MTA Bus Time or the MTA app.

How to read the timetable: MTA’s airport-bound timetable uses Broadway/W 106 St, E 125 St/Lexington Av and LaGuardia Airport Terminal B as key timepoints. Intermediate stops have different arrival times.

Service day	Direction	Example start	125 St / Lexington	Terminal B	Approx. scheduled ride
Weekday	Broadway/W 106 → LGA	5:20 AM	5:36 AM	6:02 AM	About 42 min
Weekday	Broadway/W 106 → LGA	8:23 AM	8:47 AM	9:17 AM	About 54 min
Weekday	LGA → W 106 St	4:08 PM at Terminal B	Use exact stop lookup	Origin	About 65 min to W 106 on this example trip
Saturday	Broadway/W 106 → LGA	7:05 AM	7:22 AM	7:48 AM	About 43 min
Sunday	Broadway/W 106 → LGA	7:10 AM	7:27 AM	7:52 AM	About 42 min

Travel-time reality: the scheduled trip from the Upper West Side to LaGuardia can be roughly 40–60+ minutes depending on departure time. Traffic on 125th Street, the RFK Bridge/Astoria approach and airport roads can increase actual travel time.

Flight traveler: do not treat the timetable arrival at Terminal B or C as your airport check-in time. Add walking, terminal access, security and airline check-in time separately.

Service frequency

How Often Does the M60 Run?

The timetable does not use one fixed headway all day. Frequency changes by time of day and service day.

Busy weekday periods Many scheduled departures are only several minutes apart, with service often around the 6–10 minute range during portions of the day.

Late night / early morning Gaps become longer, including departures spaced approximately 15–30 minutes apart in some periods.

Weekend service Saturday and Sunday schedules remain frequent for much of the day but are not identical to weekday service.

Best practice: do not calculate your trip using a general frequency estimate. Enter M60-SBS in MTA Bus Time and check your actual stop.

Check terminal before boarding Airport-bound is not enough information if you do not know which terminal your airline uses.

Use OMNY for easier boarding Contactless payment avoids the need to find an SBS ticket machine or exact change.

125 St is transfer-rich The route crosses multiple subway and rail connections, making it useful beyond airport trips.

Do not time flights too tightly Bus traffic and airport security are separate variables. Leave a substantial buffer.

Check the return direction separately LaGuardia-to-Manhattan stop patterns are not simply the airport-bound sequence in reverse.
