The corridor manual
The eight lines
LaGuardia gives you a genuine menu — from a $3 ride to a $130 one, from a single bus to a chauffeur who tracks your tail number. Here is the whole board. Tap a line to plot it; tap again to read how it works.

BC Pre-booked black car
The only LaGuardia option that is genuinely door-to-door with your bags, a fixed price and a human watching your tail number.
$45–70 · 22–35 min off-peak · 0 transfersTX Yellow taxi (metered)
A yellow cab from the Terminal B or C taxi line is the simplest one-seat ride in the corridor: walk out, take the next car, pay the meter.
$40–95 · 22–35 min off-peak · 0 transfersFHV Uber & Lyft
Uber and Lyft pick up at the same for-hire zones as car services — the Terminal B garage Level 2 and the Terminal C designated curb — never at the taxi stand.
$3.00 · 40–55 min off-peak · 1 (Q70 → 7 / E / F / M / R) transferQ70 Q70 LaGuardia Link → subway
The Q70 LaGuardia Link is a free, limited-stop shuttle that has been fare-free since May 2022, and it is the backbone of getting out of LGA without a car.
$3.00 · 35–55 min off-peak · 0 to 125th St; 1 to most addresses transferM60 M60 Select Bus to Manhattan
The M60 Select Bus is the only public route that takes you from the LaGuardia curb across the river to Manhattan without a transfer.
$5–10.75 · 35–45 min off-peak · 1 (Q70 → LIRR) transferLIRR Q70 → LIRR at Woodside
The insiders’ route.
$20–30 · 45–75 min off-peak · 0 transfersVAN Shared-ride van
Shared-ride vans (GO Airlink and similar Port Authority–licensed operators) split a door-to-door ride among several passengers, which is why a seat runs $20–30 rather than a whole-car fare.
tolls $0–16+ · 22–35 min off-peak · 0 transfersDRV Rental car & self-drive
Driving yourself in from LaGuardia only makes sense if you need the car beyond the city.
