LaGuardia Airport gets its own MetroCard machines

One of the cheapest ways to get from LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan just got a little easier now that MetroCard machines have been installed at the airport.

“The machines are located on the lower level inside of the Central Terminal Building, near the bus stop for MTA New York City Transit’s M60, Q33, and Q72 bus routes,” according to the most recent newsletter from the Port Authority of NY and NJ, which manages the NYC-area airports.

Several retailers in LaGuardia’s passenger terminals also sell prepackaged MetroCards, which are used on MTA buses and subways.

Without a MetroCard, riders must pay the $2 fare in coins. (No pennies, paper money - and no change is given.) And of course, the $2 bus fare rises to $2.25 as of June 28.

The Port Authority website lists the ground transportation options from LaGuardia, including the popular M60 bus, which stops at Columbia University, map.
