We were skeptical about using public transportation but after watching your video and others I think we can do it. We have only one suitcase and one backpack each so should be doable. We leave in less than two weeks. First time in NYC and can’t wait. - Laura
Glad that you enjoyed the video and it was helpful, Beau. Hopefully, you can check out our other virtual tours of NYC th-cam.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
This is so helpful. Traveling alone and trading to navigate the subway make me super nervous even though I'm pretty sure it's going to be straightforward. I figured I was just going to have to take a taxi and spend like 60 bucks
Thank you!! This is a great video that clearly explains all the various options. In a clear/easy explanation. This/another video make the public transportation seem easy enough to use. Thanks!!
Thanks, Ms. Katherine, for your extremely useful tips and elucidation of the actual path to be traversed with the help of the NYC subway map ! Great narration !
"Q" stands for Queens; "M" for Manhattan... right ??? Please keep up your Good Work ! Katherine, you "map" the upcoming travel on the NYC map, which is remarkable and your narration is do much full of enthusiasm ! That winsome smile is the 'cherry on the cake' !

Thank you for this. We are going from La Guardia to the Manhattan cruise port. What is the best station to get off at for that? I believe we can walk from there with our one suitcase or take a cab. I’d appreciate your help. Thank you.
Why doesn’t the subway go straight to the airport like every other big city in the US??? My guess is so tourists will fork over more dough the first minute they arrive in NYC. Am I correct??? 😮
Great video, keep up the good work! Do you have a website for the tourists? Also for visitors to NYC, flights to La Guardia and EWR (in New Jersey) are cheapest. JFK is NYC's International Airport and you will find the most flights there. Subscribed & liked 👍
OMNY works. I did it as the whole subway takes OMNY. Plus the M60 also works since the transfer is free. So you're still paying one fare for this ride of bus + subway to your Manhattan Destination
I am currently trying to find out how to get from La Guardia to Manhattan I’m scared to take the sub because I’m traveling with 3 kids and we will have some backpacks and luggage I wanted to take a taxi but don’t want to pay over $100 . Can you please give me some advice this will be our 1st to NYC and I have no clue where to began with transportation
You can take the bus and subway transfer. Kids ride the the subway everyday. If it's too much luggage, then consider the transfers but a taxi won't cost $100 unless you are taking it to New Jersey.
If you have a couple kids and lots of luggage, a taxi cab will be most convenient. Too much of a hassle on public transportation what with stairs, etc. It will be way under $100. Or take Lyft or Uber.
@@ed7519 Thank you! We tried the cab but they won’t let a family of 5 use it, we ended up getting a Uber way cheaper then a taxi I think I paid like $75.00 plus tip of course.
It depends on where you are going in Manhattan. There are big differences depending on your final destination. There are online calculators that could give you an idea.
I still don't know how to find the taxi stand from LaGuardia (Terminal C). Yes, follow the signs. But, how far is it? Is the taxi stand as far as an app based stand? At one time you had to take a shuttle to get to the taxi stand. Is that still the case? If a taxi is just as hard to get to as an Uber, I'll go Uber. I'm looking for convenience on this trip. Thank you.
Taxi's are better than Uber. Taxi cabs are a flat rate from the airport, I mostly fly out of JFK. I think she mentions here it isn't a flat rate out of LAG. Still it would probably be about 40 bucks? if you just go into Manhattan, over the Queensboro bridge and then get out and take a train or a bus anywhere.

Same answer. Agree!
How'd it go, what did you decide? Metro option seems easy after this video.

Easy peasy! Love visiting the city!! Even if you get on the wrong bus, you can always find a subway!
It really is simple to take mass transit from LGA.
Thanks for this. There's also limo or limo like services that you can book in advance via one way or round trip.

@@FreeToursbyFootNewYorkWalks You didn't answer the question they're asking you about Q and M meaning...could you answer it please?
@@pattycoronado132 The letter represents the primary borough where the bus travels.
@@FreeToursbyFootHQ Oh ok, thank you so much for your answer!!!
Great video! Thanks very much!
You re very informative plus I love you re smile very pretty
This is beyond helpful!!
Great video! Question. Why don't you mention the OMNY payment format? It's not necessary to have a Metrocard, right?
Super helpful. Thanks!
We are traveling to New York for the 1st time in February. What can we expect with weather conditions during this month?
Well the m60 is just made for Manhattan cause m means Manhattan
Thank you for this. We are going from La Guardia to the Manhattan cruise port. What is the best station to get off at for that? I believe we can walk from there with our one suitcase or take a cab. I’d appreciate your help. Thank you.
Whats the best way if traveling with 7 people?

Does the Q70 bus often get too crowded for a place to sit and to put your baggage?
Do I need a Metro Card to ride the bus? Or can I pay via the Omny system?
The Q70 is currently free and transfers to Roosevelt for free so would you still need a Metrocard? Is OMNY also ok instead?
OMNY works. I did it as the whole subway takes OMNY. Plus the M60 also works since the transfer is free. So you're still paying one fare for this ride of bus + subway to your Manhattan Destination

what do you need to transfer
Hey! Does this work the opposite way as well?
yes
Yes.
How much would a taxi be from LGA to Manhattan?
An Uber is $50-$100 based on the time of day, I’m not sure about a taxi
It depends on where you are going in Manhattan. There are big differences depending on your final destination. There are online calculators that could give you an idea.

The taxi and app based stands are almost the same distance. Taxis are a bit closer. And taxis are available at all terminals, including Terminal C.

@@ed7519 taxis are NOT a flat rate from Laguardia. Stop spreading misinformation.
SO much...typo...
Thank you. Very helpful. Good stuff
