M60 SBS - Laguardia Airport

M60 125th Street – LaGuardia Airport SBS - Select Bus Service
The Corridor
The M60 SBS Corridor extends from 106th/Broadway in Manhattan, across 125th Street and Astoria Boulevard to LaGuardia Airport. The M60 carries over 17,000 riders on an average weekday, a figure that has been consistently increasing. The M60 has the highest ridership of the four crosstown bus routes on 125th Street (9,600 customers a day) and the majority of the M60’s boardings and alightings occur on 125th Street, serving residents, shoppers and commuters. M60 connects to twelve subway lines including the and Metro-North Commuter Railroad.
Construction has begun at the bus stops along the corridor. Fare machinery will be installed at every SBS stop so that customers can pay before boarding. In addition new shelters are being installed at many stops.
Project Description
M60 SBS service will begin in Spring 2014. The overall goals of the project are to speed buses and increase reliability, improve safety for all corridor users, and support overall community needs. Upgrades on the M60 Select Bus Service include off board fare collection, dedicated bus lanes on 125th Street between Lenox Avenue and 2nd Avenue, limited stops, and transit signal priority. The bus lanes on 125th Street will improve speed and reliability on all 125th Street buses. Improvements to curb regulations on 125th Street will reduce the amount of double parking along the corridor by increasing parking turnover and providing space for commercial vehicle loading. SBS improvements will also benefit riders taking the M60 to the LaGuardia Airport. From end-to-end, the proposed service would be 10-15% faster than the current M60 route, and 15-20% faster from 125th/Lexington Avenue to LaGuardia Airport.

About M60 Select Bus Service, and how it changes and improves your ride

Select Bus Service is the brand name for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in New York City. BRT is a general term for any high-performance surface transportation system that incorporates features of rail transit combined with the flexibility and cost advantages of bus transit.

Select Bus Service on the M60 introduces innovative changes to the way buses operate:
You pay BEFORE boarding
You can board the bus using any door
Dedicated bus lanes along 125 St speed service between stops
Fewer bus stops means quicker trips
Increased enforcement against traffic offenders allows buses to keep moving.
All these elements will make your trip up to 15% to 20% faster.
Bus stop signs and shelters clearly mark Select Bus Service stops.

Two ways to Pay your Fare Before you Board
You pay your fare at the stop at either the MetroCard Fare Collector or Coin Fare Collector machine BEFORE boarding.

Keep your receipt for the duration of your trip. Fare inspectors randomly check for them. Anyone who cannot produce a valid receipt could be subject to a substantial fine.

You don’t give or show your receipt to the bus operator UNLESS you paid with coins and need a transfer. Please board at the front of the bus if you need a transfer.

Back to top

MetroCard Fare Collector
Pay here with:
MetroCard (Value or Time), Reduced-Fare MetroCard, transfers, single-ride tickets, and Student MetroCard (but NOT Half-Fare Student MetroCard).
1. Press the start button.
2. Insert your MetroCard, transfer or ticket face up into the slot.
3. Your receipt will be issued automatically.

Paying for more than one person: Only a value-based MetroCard can be used to pay the fare for more than one person. Insert the MetroCard into the machine up to four times for a maximum of four people, and SBS paper tickets will be issued for each person.
Transferring to the M15 SBS: You must obtain a new ticket before you board. At the M15 SBS bus stop, insert the same MetroCard you used to pay for your previous trip and a new ticket will be issued. Multiple tickets will be issued if a value-based MetroCard was used to pay for more than one person.
