Has all the hard work finally paid off? The Queens airport has topped a new list of mid-sized travel hubs. News 4's Andrew Siff reports.

As someone who was stuck here overnight trying to get home to Canada, I found the airport to be clean, comfortable (as comfy as an airport can be), and felt safe, which I believe is the most important when you’re stuck overnight.

The N W trains runs under neath the Amtrak and the CXS fraigt trains 🚃 runs. The N W elevated lines has more than enough room to exstend the N W trains to LaGuardia airport where the bus terminal is at and they could definitely make it concrete structures just like the Air trains. Every Airport terminals they have is trains and Air trains. Except for LaGuardia airport. Governor Cathy hucko wants this N W trains to be extended to LaGuardia airport. What's the problem?.

@YAZZYUTUBE 4 ай бұрын

It was a good idea to scrap the air train to LGA. The best option would be to simply extend the N and W train line to LGA. This way it's no additional fare.

2:13 Busses can work for LGA. Prague just inaugurated an extended-length electric trolley bus that runs under a catenary wire. It runs at subway frequencies, and takes 10 minutes. The LaGuardia Link is already really good. It’s free, takes 15 minutes, runs every 10 minutes or less, has space for luggage, and serves five subway lines and the LIRR. The traffic on the highway segment the bus runs on is pretty good too. If the MTA just built a designated bus ROW for the route (which they’re planning on building), built new elevators and escalators for pax with luggage at Woodside and Jackson Heights, and electrified and lengthened the buses, it would be a really strong transit service for LGA. Just because it’s a bus doesn’t automatically mean it’s a bad service.

LaGuardia is better, but parking at Terminal C is now a disaster. The garage is too small and much of the time, even if you make a reservation especially during the holidays you are diverted to Terminal A and the long term lot to try to find parking. When you ask for a refund they will give it to you once you show proof, but parking at LaGuardia is worse than ever. Now they are working to redo JFK which is a mess this summer. Just don't fly out of Terminal 1 if you can help it as it is disconnected from the Airtrain while they build a brand new Terminal A to replace the 1980s terminal.
