LaGuardia Airport is one of three major airports in the NYC Metropolitan Area. In this video, I show how you can get to Times Square for only $2.75 with the Q70 LaGuardia Link bus and a transfer to the subway at the Jackson Heights - Roosevelt Avenue subway station. This is the recommended method of public transportation from most travel websites and bloggers. In total, it took me about 40 minutes to get to Times Square.

This method for getting from LaGuardia to Penn Station utilizes mass transit which is great and affordable. It's still crazy that for a city as wealthy as NYC with such an extensive train network doesn't have a direct train connection to the airport from center city

@AshmewStudios 2 жыл бұрын

The bus isn't that inconvenient and it's still possible to get to the city with a $2.75 fare. The AirTrain may be more convenient but it's also much more expensive.

@PhilipSalen 2 жыл бұрын

@@AshmewStudios Agreed as my comment stated affordable and available mass transit. The point is that it's surprising to me that a city as wealthy as NYC and with such an extensive rail system isn't linked up by rail to its two major airports (LaGuardia and JFK- I know that JFK has sort of a train- Airtrain, but I mean heavy rail).

@ActionKid 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, pretty incredible there's no train connection to the airports.

@AshmewStudios 2 жыл бұрын

@@PhilipSalen Exactly. Also, in the past some FAA regulation required the construction of an AirTrain like system because it didn’t allow the subway systems do directly connect into the terminals. That has since changed. The AirTrain is very controversial because it goes the opposite direction, may crowd the 7 line, and might be even slower than the bus + subway. They really need to extend the subway to LaGuardia

I stay on the UWS when I visit NY, and take the M60 bus from LGA to 116th and Broadway by Columbia University, then transfer to the 1 train. Takes a long time, but involves only one transfer and avoids having to navigate changing trains at Times Square with luggage. I agree that for anyone going to Midtown, your route is the best option.

Yes, the M60 bus is better if going to Upper Manhattan.

This is an informative video for people that don't travel to LGA or NYC often. It's a shame NYC spent billions on the terminal upgrade yet the only connection to the subway is still the bus. At least they could have put in a ferry to Manhattan but they didn't even do that. It will take years and billions of dollars more before they have an air train at LGA. When I go to NYC I go to JFK & ride the air train or HPN and take the bus to metro north and it's a straight shot to Grand Central. HPN is a smaller and less congested airport and traffic on the roads is not too bad. FLY NAVY!!!
