Additionally, several companies offer private shuttle services to and from Manhattan. Go Airlink NYC offers shared transfers from LGA 24 hours a day while NYC Airporter is the official bus service of the NYC area's three airports. With NYC Airporter, you can access service between Grand Central, Port Authority or Penn Station and LGA, JFK, and Newark Airports.
