If you use MetroCard, a free transfer is automatically encoded onto your card, which can be used to transfer to the subway, or between buses. If you pay with coins, ask the bus operator for a free transfer to use on another bus. (If you pay with coins on the bus there is no free transfer to the subway). Transfers are good for two hours from the time you pay your fare. You can buy a MetroCard that gives you unlimited rides (that includes all free transfers). Or, you can buy a MetroCard with a specific number of rides that automatically gives you one free transfer every time you pay a fare. You can purchase MetroCard at MetroCard Vending Machines inside Terminals B, C, and D in LaGuardia Airport or at any NYC subway station. A $1 new card fee will apply to new MetroCard purchases from the vending machines. New card fee does not apply to MetroCard refills and MetroCards bought from authorized merchants.
