    Via Q70 LaGuardia Link SBS, I was able to commute to-and-from Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street station from LaGuardia Airport during my getaway to Brooklyn New York. Catching the Q70 LaGuardia Link SBS was free, and a money saver rather than catching any other mode of transportation from the LaGuardia Airport that would have likely cost money. If you are looking for a convenient transit, the Q70 commutes to-and-from LaGuardia Airport. And it runs to terminals B and C, 24 hours a day and makes three stops at the airport. I must say that my experiences with Q70 LaGuardia Link SBS plays a key part in my anticipation to return to New York via LaGuardia Airport now that I know of this convenient transit. ~Have courage.

    La Guardia Link Q70 from the R Train from Manhattan

    Super easy to go from the Subway/MTA to LaGuardia Airport via the Q70 LaGuardia Link. Take the E, M, F, R or 7 to the Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue exit. Once you exit the Subway/MTA, the Q70 bus is literally to your right. The app lets you know when the bus will arrive. The LaGuardia Link shuttle looks like a car rental shuttle bus with spaces for luggage and elevated seats. Check the screen for airport terminals. Metro pass is just $2.75 per ride. Bonus: The Q70 is free.

    The Q70 is the fastest way into the city especially if you're flying Jet Blue and landing at terminal B. The Q70 or LaGuardia link as it's called is a Free bus that picks up right downstairs from baggage claim at Terminals B and C. It doesn't go to Terminal A or the Marine terminal. Follow the signs downstairs and busses arrive every 8 minutes. They're new, clean, have WIFI, and air conditioning. First stop is Jackson Hts / Roosevelt Ave where you can pick up the M ( express) or the R (local). Stay on the bus 1 more stop to woodside and you can catch the 7. Not only is this faster than waiting for a cab or an Uber, it's comfortable, and safe.

    Best way to get to and from LaGuardia. It sucks but it's no better than this. Q70 is the bus that goes to the Jackson Heights transportation center and connects to the subway and other transportation. Fastest way to go. This is free if using a MetroCard. Efficient way of getting between the subway and the airport. It doesn't make any stops between. There's currently not a faster way. An extension of the subway to LaGuardia is planned. Unfortunately it's been planned for many years. If you don't have a MetroCard, it's $2.75 to get on. Those who do though only need to insert it into the machine and you get a paper ticket. Be sure to keep it somewhere safe you can get to it fast. They check it. It only takes about 12 minutes between each. It can get crowded but there's luggage racks. This is why it's better to go to this airport, because it's cheaper and it's not as much time.

    Q70 To LaGuardia

    I read the reviews of the various shuttle bus companies and considered the costs for a taxi or Lyft between LaGuardia and Grand Central Station. Choosing the bus to get to Manhattan was definitely the way to go. First off, the bus picks up right outside the terminal. It runs often enough that there was a short wait. It's free to get you to the subway station. They have a free wifi (yes, really!) and there was enough seating with room dedicated for luggage. The ride wasn't completely smooth with a few potholes and a few turns, but it was FREE and really, how can I complain about that? I think it took maybe 15 or 20 minutes in light traffic. I'll definitely do this again when I want to save a few bucks and a lot of headache. [Review 11482 overall, 1262 of 2019.]

    Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the Q33, I was kind of shocked when I heard it would no longer go to LaGuardia and instead would be replaced by the Q70. The MTA promised the Q70 would be faster and in my decidedly unscientific experiment today on the way home today, I found that to be the case. From Terminal C to Roosevelt/74th, it was 12 minutes. And that included a long stop at Central Terminal to pick up people. The fact that it only stops at the main terminals at LGA (not the Marine Air Terminal) and then Roosevelt/74th and then Woodside means it isn't making EVERY SINGLE STOP ON 82nd Street. That's what made the Q33 so freaking slow. Combined with the E Train, it took me a total of 45 minutes to get home from LaGuardia, which was faster than if I'd taken a cab at the same time (5:00 pm on a weekday). Additionally, there was a luggage rack on this bus and the MTA said they all will have it. I still have to see how it does going to the airport, but for now, Viva la Q70!

    They've recently made the Q70 into a Selected Bus Service route, meaning now that you have to buy a separate ticket at one of the machines by the stop with your metrocard. For the price ($2.75) this is a very good choice for those that look for an easy way of getting to LGA. Especially for those of us coming from LIRR its great that they have a stop Woodside before heading down to Roosevelt Ave stop. Definitely a great connection for those that travel from Penn or the subways. I had a flight on Monday so there were only a few other passengers besides me which is definitely very welcoming if you have more luggage. Plus its quicker as it goes through Grand Central Pkway rather than local routes making this a great way to save some dough if you're not in a hurry to get to the airport. Travel time on the bus took only about 15 minutes. My only minor complaints are that the vending machines I found were out in the street in the cold and that the bus is quite on-time and couldn't really let us get on before its time to depart. Also the stops are not in order but goes in B,D then terminal C. The driver didn't really announce the stops so you definitely have to be careful make sure you get off at the right terminal for your flight. Overall though I'm glad I was able to find this online and hope to see people utilize it more and more now with the bigger bus. Definitely well worth the bus fare to get you into LGA.

I take the subway and ride the bus when I'm going somewhere more and more often now that I'm aging. Don't get me wrong I'd prefer to walk everywhere the way I did in the past. The technology has really improved purchasing my Senior Citizen Metro OMNY Card. I don't worry about running out of trip money because it is automatic load using my credit card. Today I saw the Transit Authority Emergency Response Vehicle outside my station on East 96th Street. I know they are close by in case of emergency and I often wonder what's going on at my station. You may not agree with my Five Stars but I've lived other places and it can be extremely difficult to get transportation (even a cab) if you don't have a car. I'm glad I live in NYC with a great transit system.

    Coming from the Bay Area where we have to deal with our terrible transit system known as BART, I…read morefound NYC's subway system a surprisingly pleasant change in comparison. While I'll preface this review by stating that my experience with NYC's subway system is rather limited in scope, not being a New Yorker, I found the subway system leaps and bounds better than what we have here in CA. Reliability: I hear a lot about how the trains are consistently late. But having spent all of my time in Manhattan, the trains were arriving every 2-5mins during normal work and commute hours. So I never found myself waiting around for overly long for another train to arrive. AC: Seems like most of the trains that I got on had working AC's, which is quite the blessing in summer. Especially if the train is packed. This is in stark contrast to our local BART system, which has working AC's 50% of the time. Cleanliness: While the subway stations themselves are certainly very dirty, with no shortage of rats running around the tracks, the inside of all of the train themselves that I rode in were all pretty clean, and I did not feel uncomfortable sitting in any of the seats. This compared with BART seats which are all questionably stained, dirty, and always smell terrible. Safety: While I understand that NYC subways experience their fair share of homelessness and individuals of questionable mental stability, and even I experienced a few during my short trip to NY, I definitely experienced a lot LESS of these individuals than I do on a daily basis in BART here in the Bay Area. Aside from 1 isolated incident of a crazy person on a train one evening when coming back from Times Square, I never felt particularly unsafe. One should of course still always be aware of their surroundings, stay away from the tracks when waiting, and keep your possessions close to you. Convenience: NYC's subway system, although not the biggest in the world, certainly is the largest system in the US, and it shows. It's incredibly convenient to be able to travel to all parts of the city, utilizing just 1 system. While in Manhattan, just make sure to heed the signage stating Uptown or Downtown, to make sure you're not traveling in the wrong directly. Fare: At just $3 per ride, regardless of exit point, the fare is incredibly affordable to utilize for daily commute, or just exploring the city. And for regular riders, a 7-day or 30-day unlimited fare is also offered for even more affordable options! I've never experienced a subway system in the world that only had a flat fare, regardless of distance traveled, but it was certainly welcome, and substantially cheaper than a trip locally here on BART, where a 1-way trip from the East Bay to SFO would run over $10. I know NYC's subway system is certainly far from perfect, and New Yorkers have their fair share of complaints about it. But in comparisons to what we have here in the Bay Area, it is by far better in almost all aspects.
