TRANSIT FLY Review: New York La Guardia Airport offers several ground
transportation options for traveling within the New York Metropolitan area. For
those passengers heading to Manhattan it is hard to beat the frequency and
ease of taking a NY City Taxi cab. For those heading to Midtown Manhattan
consider the New York Airport Service Express Shuttle Bus. The NY Airport
Express provides service from La Guardia to Grand Central and the Port
Authority every 2-30 minutes for only $12. For those going to destinations in
Queens or Brooklyn consider the MTA M60, Q33, Q47 or Q48 Buses to the
NYC Subway system.
