AirTrain LaGuardia


AirTrain LaGuardia is a proposed 1.5-mile-long (2.4 km) people mover system and elevated railway in New York City that would provide service to LaGuardia Airport in Queens. It would connect with the New York City Subway and Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in Willets Point in a similar manner to AirTrain JFK. It would be built and operated under contract to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the operator of the airport, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

LaGuardia presently has no rail service. The only public transportation is by bus via the Q47, Q48, Q70 SBS, Q72, M60 SBS routes, which connect to the subway and LIRR in Queens; the M60 SBS also goes to Harlem and Morningside Heights in Manhattan, and connects with the Metro-North Railroad in East Harlem. In 2014, 8% of LaGuardia's 27 million passengers took the bus, compared to the 12% of the 53 million passengers using John F. Kennedy International Airport who took Airtrain JFK. Similarly, in 2008, 75% of LaGuardia's passengers took a taxi or car service, but only 16% rode a bus or van.
