Haven't been to NYC in a few years...what's the best way to get from LGA into the city (staying near Times Square for a conference)-taxi or uber? Thanks!

I almost always take taxis from airports because finding the Uber is always a struggle and they rarely respond when you try to reach out to them.

I agree with EY1 - taxi from the airport is the best

Flat fare taxi is relatively the same as uber (at least was the case recently). Not worth the hassle to save a couple of dollars and use uber considering u have you go to the separate parking lot...

Depends on which terminal/airline at LGA. If you’re flying into Terminal C or D (all of Delta and some of American) take Uber or Lyft because they can pick you up curbside. If you’re flying into Terminal B (all the other airlines) take a taxi because you have to take a bus to pick up Uber and Lyft at another location.

Uber pool or Lyft line

I've used gett as a cheaper option if you're not reimbursed. Gett also has statuses that upgrade you to nicer cars fwiw. Believe it's called Juno now

Thanks guys! This is a work trip so will be reimbursed-does that change your answers?

Ah if it's reimbursed, just take a taxi. If it's your own money, Lyft line or Uber pool. They have a designated parking lot so it's easier now to find your driver than it was a year or two ago.

Awesome thanks everyone! Taxi it is 👍🏻

Taxi, if you'll be reimbursed. Otherwise Lyft or the M60 to 125 Lex. Xfer to 4/5/6 to Grand Central. Then S to times Square. Be advised: LGA is under major construction.

Anyone ever use LaGuardia Link, their bus service to the MTA? Someone told me about it recently but I've not tried it. Sounds like a headache?

Depends when you land and what terminal. Monday 9am at Terminal B I have had cab lines that took 45mins. In that case Uber/lyft/Gett is better.
