How To Get From LaGuardia Airport To Manhattan

Option 1: MTA LaGuardia Q70-SBS Bus / NYC Subway

Travel time: 45-60 minutes
With no direct rail link from LGA, riding into Manhattan is tricky but straightforward with only one transfer. From the terminal (all expect Terminal A; don’t worry there’s a free shuttle between terminals) catch the LaGuardia Q70-SBS Bus**** and ride to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street Station and transfer to the NYC Subway and board the 7, E, F, M, or R subways. Be sure to check your final destination before boarding. There are other buses from LGA into Manhattan.
Consider purchasing OMNY Card, the New York metropolitan area’s integrated fare card to the city.
Fare for the MTA Bus & Subway is $2.90.

Travel time: 50-70 minutes
Another method without the need to transfer is to use a LGA shuttle to Manhattan. Go AirLink NYC provides a flat fare with luggage storage. Fares must be purchased in advance as this is an on demand service. Of note, Uber also provides shuttle service from LGA to Manhattan.
Fare for Go AirLink NYC starts at $35.

Travel time: 35-50 minutes
Undoubtedly, the most expensive option from our list but the most private. In addition to taxis, Uber and Lyft offer private rideshare services from the airport. If you arrive at rush hour expect to sit in traffic. Expect to pay about $35-45 for a ride.
