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
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.
@@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).
@@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
@@AshmewStudios the amount of political willpower and money to make a train go to the airports would make anyone's head spin. Lots of land buying, NIMBYs, contracts, environmental studies, etc etc...
THANK YOU!! This helps me feel very comfortable about using this method to get from the airport to times square. I was about to pay for an Uber. But this seems very easy thanks to your video.
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.
Thank you so much again. Today I successfully took myself to queensbridge thanks to your video. I took the F and it was the next stop ❤️ confidently doing that when I have to go back to airport next week.
Time was definitely on your side today, and a promotional Free bus ride from LaGuardia Airport interesting. This really can be a quick journey depending on traffic and subway trains for $2.75 I'm impressed thanks so much Ak for the information and tips excellent 👍.
Thanks again for the ways to get to downtown Manhattan without spending a fortune. Helpful and will go this route when I finally visit NYC. Thanks again Kenneth.
Woohoo for another $2.75 bus and subway ride and with no delays this time! 😃 It was nice to see some street views of Jackson Heights. Thank you for sharing this informative video, AK! 🤗
Thank you, I know you moved but I will be going to NYC and your video helped me find a route from the airport to where I'll be staying. When google maps told me there is no route. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your video Actionkid. I will take the public transportation to Manhattan when I visit New York because I’m traveling on my budget.👍❤️✈️
I was visiting NYC from Los Angeles in July 2019. I still have my Metro card and it was $2.75 back then....NY was so much cheaper to travel than DTLA. It takes forever to get around in los angeles than NYC.
AK continues to keep the wheel turnings , unleashing the cheapest form of transportation from LGE to Manhattan NYC centre, not the most favourite one to some, but AK is spreading the tasty joy of bus ride...regards from Malaysia
Great to see this video. Was in NYC a couple of weeks ago...before the free fares. I stayed in the UWS so I took the M60. It is a local bus, lots of stops. Maybe it is best to use the Q70 regardless of what part of Manhattan you're going to. Thanks
ActionKid my NYC friend, that was a dominating video riding the Q70 LGA Link SBS Bus for $2.75 to the Jackson Heights Roosevelt Ave Station once you also ride the F express Train like where the E train goes to Times Square 42nd St Station New York City and I'm liking it! Thanks ultra much for sharing that ActionKid!
Many years ago when I used to live in The Bronx, there used to be a commercial that came on "take the train to the plane" very catchy tune. But think it was more for going to JFK.
@@Cain-x And to make matters easier, I believe there's an express train that takes you to all the tourist spots. If i'm not mistaken, I think it's the E train.
Nice video. it is a shame that there is not a train all the way to the airport, but this is not bad. BTW, you are right about the awesome food in Jackson Heights. There also are some amazing Latino barber shops.
fantastic vid! altho i had trouble finding the lyft station when I was there (it's beyond all the ubers) but i'll have to try this next time. as for the subway....
I flew into Newark airport and took a bus straight to midtown Manhattan. Is this option no longer available.? The video was great watched it from start to finish.
in new york you dont need to rent a car, from la guardia airport take the bus to the 7 train and the 7 train will take you to central station but if you are in a hurry take the express non stop cause local will make stop in every station
$62 dollars for the exp bus weekly pass and with the select buses (SBS) if you cannot show proof of payment they have inspectors who are called the eagle team their like police and they issue $100 summonses…the Q70 is amazing but it’s a headache when traffic hits the BQE
Being poor, somehow I navigated from Newark Airport to Queens Village, Howard Johnson by way Penn Station to Jackson Heights Subway Station to Jamaica Avenue and walked about 2 1/2 miles to my hotel. It was not easy arriving hot and sweaty, so I showered and called it a day.
Thank you for posting this in such detail so I know what to do. Visiting for a few days with 3 others. Should I buy 1 metro card unlimited for 7days and swipe them in after me for each ride?
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!!!
By any chance could you do a video taking NJ Transit Bus 163 from Paterson Plank Road, Murray Hill PKWY to the Port Authority Bus Terminal I would like to see how that route is thank you.
Be careful on the Subway, do not stay out too late especially after drinking. Guard your drink, so no one can dope you. Leave your passport in the safe at the hotel. Do not carry too much cash or carry anything expensive. I am a New Yorker and I do not take the subway if at all possible by myself. ---Female NYer Stay safe
I’m traveling tomorrow and using this video to help save some money. Hopefully I can get an answer in time but how difficult is it to bring a large suitcase on the bus and in the subway?
Good luck! Shouldn’t be too challenging since you’ll be getting on the bus at the first stop. You might have an issue with the subway though depending on how crowded it is but they come pretty frequently.
@@blackhawks1870 If you paid with Metro or CC your info is saved and you just swipe card at subway entrance. If you bought a pass with cash, I believe you need to get a transfer ticket from the bus. Transfer good for 2hrs from purchase.
Because of you I was able to come to New York and get around like I have lived there all my life thank you
Awesome!
agree, from ignorance to handling it like a pro thanks to Action Kid!

LGA to Manhattan, we followed your steps and we did great! 2.75 pp Perfect
Thank you soooooo much
How did it work. Once you got off the bus, and into the train did you have to pay again?
@blackhawks1870 No, because the bus stops in the fare control area in Jackson Heights.
No one makes such informative step by step videos like this. This is awesome for a tourist Thank you
This was great, and only a 40 minute ride. I am learning so much about getting around NewYork. Thanks
Only 40 minutes during non rush - add 15 min or more if there is traffic on the Grand Central or Jackson Heights
Now you know about it!
Incredible video! Really helped me give the details to a family member visiting me. Thanks so much for filming this in such great detail.
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.
Thanks for the well explained and fully recorded tour my friend!! 👍 Great video!
Going to nyc for the first time in a month, thank you very much.
This helps people who visit NY. Love your videos!!💖
Thank you so much again. Today I successfully took myself to queensbridge thanks to your video. I took the F and it was the next stop ❤️ confidently doing that when I have to go back to airport next week.

Excellent
Such a lovely, helpful video. Thank you for taking us on this ride. looking forward to my upcoming trip
This was so helpful! Thank you for posting! :)
Omg......thank you so very much. My flight is to this airport. So this is so helpful .
Thanks so much for this video! I'm going to NYC for the first time in a few weeks so it's very helpful to see this.
Woohoo for another $2.75 bus and subway ride and with no delays this time! 😃 It was nice to see some street views of Jackson Heights. Thank you for sharing this informative video, AK! 🤗
A pretty smooth ride from the airport
This is more helpful than you know. Thank you ❤
Thank you SO much for sharing! This video was super helpful when I got out of LaGuardia on Monday.
TY for another informative video , love traveling with you xoxo
Thank you, I know you moved but I will be going to NYC and your video helped me find a route from the airport to where I'll be staying. When google maps told me there is no route. Thanks!
This is the route I take when visiting New York. Last time I was there someone gave me a metra card....lasted my entire trip😊
Wow, super helpful people!
This is the way I come all the time when I visit. Love it cause I usually get a hotel in Long Island City.
Thank you for sharing your video Actionkid. I will take the public transportation to Manhattan when I visit New York because I’m traveling on my budget.👍❤️✈️
Thanks for the video. I haven't been there since 1999, and this is going to be incredibly helpful for me. Appreciate it.
Thank you for making this video
Very informative! Thank you.
I was visiting NYC from Los Angeles in July 2019. I still have my Metro card and it was $2.75 back then....NY was so much cheaper to travel than DTLA. It takes forever to get around in los angeles than NYC.
@Adrian Rodriguez, why does it take so long to get around downtown L.A., even by subway and light rail?
Exactly what I needed
Thanks from Toronto :)
Very helpful for my future trip! Thank you
These traveling videos are cool very informative...thanks
Do you have another video on how to get back to the airport? Same as this one.
Very good. Thanks, AK !
So helpful. Appreciate it!
I always have my uncle pick me up from LGA but thanks to you I feel confident going to my grandma alone this time.
Very helpful video, thanks ActionKid!
You can take the M60 too. it'll leave you in Central Harlem on 125th Street. its a pleasant ride, definitely my favorite bus route in the city.
this was so helpful thank u
Great show
Thank you! I'll be going to NYC sometime this year and this helps!
@Alex Gets Around T.O, check out his other TH-cam video about how to get around New York as well.

I think it's better to use the M60 bus for the UWS since it heads in that direction.
before the Q70 was giving free rides

great walk tour very good friend
great information
How i missed nyc so much...
Breathtaking destination 😍😍
Many years ago when I used to live in The Bronx, there used to be a commercial that came on "take the train to the plane" very catchy tune. But think it was more for going to JFK.
Yes I remember that 😊
Visiting NYC in the spring, definitely convincing my friends to do this instead of overpriced uber. Thanks AK for your vids
Uber makes more sense if going in a group, its easier on everyone.
@@Cain-x a bus that comes every 15 minutes and a train that comes every 10 minutes is pretty damn easy.
@@Cain-x And to make matters easier, I believe there's an express train that takes you to all the tourist spots. If i'm not mistaken, I think it's the E train.
The R is a direct connect to Times Square but like action said it’s longer cause the R is local from queens to Brooklyn
Nice video. it is a shame that there is not a train all the way to the airport, but this is not bad. BTW, you are right about the awesome food in Jackson Heights. There also are some amazing Latino barber shops.
just take the q70 to 7 train to anywhere
@@elpupusero Thanks.
Really into Jackson Heights!!!
I feel its faster to take the Q70 sbs and take the E. The F stops at bryant park and the walk is a bit further than port authority.
Also, can you hear the announcements for the stops? Is there any signage on the train itself that says where it is? Newbies would not know....
Remember taking the ticket at MTA machine before getting on the bus.
AK didn't take it because the bus was free at that day.
fantastic vid! altho i had trouble finding the lyft station when I was there (it's beyond all the ubers) but i'll have to try this next time. as for the subway....
excellent!!!
I flew into Newark airport and took a bus straight to midtown Manhattan. Is this option no longer available.? The video was great watched it from start to finish.
hopefully one day they will have a direct train to LGA one day
in new york you dont need to rent a car, from la guardia airport take the bus to the 7 train and the 7 train will take you to central station but if you are in a hurry take the express non stop cause local will make stop in every station
You should do the path and bus option to Newark Airport
Looks like he did that about three weeks ago.
That’s exactly where I’m off on 42th St because I stay at Library Hotel in Manhattan.
That's not bad if you are alone. Cabs get expensive.
I wish I would’ve seen this video before my trip! I just ubered!
$62 dollars for the exp bus weekly pass and with the select buses (SBS) if you cannot show proof of payment they have inspectors who are called the eagle team their like police and they issue $100 summonses…the Q70 is amazing but it’s a headache when traffic hits the BQE
And Don't forget the M Train also Stops at 42nd Street Bryant Park and runs along 6th Avenue
I Love The airport
Isn't there a free La Guardia airport shuttle that runs a loop route out to like 2 different subway stops and also there's a nearby LIRR station, yes?
Being poor, somehow I navigated from Newark Airport to Queens Village, Howard Johnson by way Penn Station to Jackson Heights Subway Station to Jamaica Avenue and walked about 2 1/2 miles to my hotel. It was not easy arriving hot and sweaty, so I showered and called it a day.
that's tough... you could have caught the Q36 bus from Jamaica and it would have dropped you off right in front
Do all the other Terminals at LGA have a MetroFare ticket machine? And can you catch the Q70 bus from all he other Terminals?
Thank you for posting this in such detail so I know what to do. Visiting for a few days with 3 others. Should I buy 1 metro card unlimited for 7days and swipe them in after me for each ride?
This way is great, however personally I prefer getting the Q70 to Woodside, then the LIRR to Penn Station. It’s only $5 in cityticket times
OMG just saw you on Jaycation & you were visiting my city, San Diego! Did you love it?
now $2.90 because of fare increase
And don't forget the Number 7 Train going to Manhattan and also there's the Q53 SBS Bus
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.

Pardon my asking, sir, but what is HPN?
@@Neville60001 It's the three letter code for Westchester County Airport. FLY NAVY!!!
We will be there in 2 weeks and will be staying in the Wall Street area. Would the R train downtown get us to the area? And thanks for the video
It's great video 😍
I enjoyed the cool video 💯🚶🚶🚶🤟
You're creative keep going✨✨✨✨✨✨..
Sender: your brother (Baraa) from Palestine
🇵🇸🇺🇲
Doesn't the E and F trains take you to Bryant Park?
Can I go from LGA to port authority directly? Or can you guys recommend the road?
Or Can I go to LODI from LGA directly?
By any chance could you do a video taking NJ Transit Bus 163 from Paterson Plank Road, Murray Hill PKWY to the Port Authority Bus Terminal I would like to see how that route is thank you.
Please make a video how to visit newyork as a tourist. Places to visit and days to stay.

What's up,Ken!
i still have a metro card from 2000 and used to cost 1.50 each day
I’m traveling tomorrow and using this video to help save some money. Hopefully I can get an answer in time but how difficult is it to bring a large suitcase on the bus and in the subway?
Good luck! Shouldn’t be too challenging since you’ll be getting on the bus at the first stop. You might have an issue with the subway though depending on how crowded it is but they come pretty frequently.
What's your opinion on the AirTrain being extended to laguardia
Lower the cost to just a dollar
Does the Q70 often get too crowded for a place to sit and put your baggage?
Question: So, if you pay for the bus, do you have to pay again for the subway? If not, how do they know you came off the bus? If so, is it $2.75 each?
Did you ever find out?
@@blackhawks1870 If you paid with Metro or CC your info is saved and you just swipe card at subway entrance. If you bought a pass with cash, I believe you need to get a transfer ticket from the bus. Transfer good for 2hrs from purchase.
@@Pinball475 thank you. Lucky me I was take the train everywhere when I went to New York. Swiped really helped!
How do we get from
LGA to Penn station ?
Hello, excellent video. Just a doubt: if a wanna go to 50st can i the express (F) ou only the normal (E). Best regards
The metro ticket. Is it for 1 person and 1 ride?
Great video! How do you get from LGA to Williamsburg Brooklyn ? Thanks
