The airport shuttle bus service departs every 30 minutes from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST. The bus service picks up and drops off passengers to La Guardia (LGA), Newark (EWR) and Manhattan at the Grand Central Port Authority or Terminal 42nd Street. Fares range from $11 to $21. If you are loading bags on the shuttle bus and need the help of the driver, it is also customary to tip the driver as well.
