M60 Bus Schedule Guide

Schedule, frequency and ride time

M60 Bus Times: First Bus, Last Bus and Approximate Running Time

The MTA timetable shows key timepoints, not every stop. For M60-SBS, key published timepoints include Broadway / W 106 St, E 125 St / Lexington Av, LaGuardia Airport Terminal B, Hoyt Av / 31 St, and W 106 St / Broadway. Use MTA Bus Time or the MTA App for your exact stop.

Service day / direction Official timepoints to use First and late service pattern Approximate ride time Best rider advice
Weekdays to LaGuardia Airport Broadway / W 106 St → E 125 St / Lexington Av → LaGuardia Airport Terminal B The weekday table begins shortly after midnight and continues through late evening. Because the PDF uses bold for p.m. hours, always open the official schedule for exact AM/PM reading. Around 40–60 minutes from Broadway / W 106 St to Terminal B, depending on traffic, direction, and time of day. Arrive 5–10 minutes early; use 10–15 minutes with luggage or when catching a flight.
Weekdays to Morningside Heights LGA Terminal B → Hoyt Av / 31 St → W 106 St / Broadway The westbound weekday table also begins around midnight and continues through late evening with timepoint-based trips. Around 40–55 minutes from Terminal B to W 106 St / Broadway under typical scheduled conditions. At LaGuardia, add walking time from baggage claim or terminal exit to the MTA bus stop.
Saturday service Separate Saturday tables are published in both directions. Saturday service starts after midnight and continues through the day; spacing changes between overnight, morning, daytime, and late evening periods. Usually similar to weekday scheduled running time, but traffic and airport congestion can change the ride. Check Bus Time on the same day because weekend events can affect 125th Street and airport roads.
Sunday service Separate Sunday tables are published in both directions. Sunday trips are listed from early overnight periods through late evening, with wider spacing at some times. Allow 40–60 minutes for full Manhattan-to-LGA trips, then add airport walking/check-in buffer. For Sunday flights, check the exact terminal and live arrival before leaving your hotel or subway transfer.

Old PDF copy Avoid
Airport timing rule: do not plan only for the bus ride. Add walking time to the stop, waiting time, traffic buffer, terminal walking time, airline check-in, security, and any subway/Metro-North transfer time.

Transfers and rider shortcuts

Best M60-SBS Transfer Points

The M60-SBS is especially useful when your trip combines LaGuardia Airport with Manhattan’s 125th Street corridor, Columbia/Morningside Heights, Astoria, or Metro-North at Harlem-125th Street.

Broadway / W 116 St Useful for Columbia University / Morningside Heights area. Check stop side for airport-bound vs westbound service.
125th Street corridor Useful for crosstown Manhattan travel and subway transfers. Give yourself extra time during events or heavy traffic.
Harlem-125th area Useful for Metro-North connections, but walking path and stop side matter. Use MTA trip planning before leaving.
Hoyt Av / 31 St Useful for Astoria Boulevard subway area and Queens transfer planning. Confirm the correct direction before boarding.
Transfer tip: use the same OMNY card/device for both legs of your trip. If you tap a phone one time and a physical card the next time, the system may treat them as different payment methods.
