Does LaGuardia Airport have a shuttle service?

Affordable, Reliable Transportation to and from LGA ETS's LaGuardia shuttles make it easier than ever to get to the airport in timely and stress-free manner. Handling tens of millions of passengers each year, LaGuardia Airport is a popular departure and arrival point for many New Yorkers traveling domestically.



Yes, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) offers several internal and external shuttle services to assist passengers in navigating the newly redeveloped terminals. The Terminal Loop Shuttle is a free service that runs 24/7, connecting Terminal A (the Marine Air Terminal) with Terminals B and C. For those looking to reach Manhattan or other boroughs, several private companies like Go Airlink and SuperShuttle operate "shared-ride" vans, though these often require advance booking in 2026. Additionally, there are free shuttles provided by many off-site airport hotels and long-term parking lots. For public transit, the Q70 LaGuardia Link SBS acts as a "de facto" free shuttle (with a MetroCard/OMNY transfer) connecting Terminals B and C directly to the 7, E, F, M, and R subway lines at the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue station. While LGA does not have a "rail" connection like JFK's AirTrain, these integrated bus and shuttle systems are the primary way passengers move between the airport and the New York City subway network.
