From mid town, go to the Port Authority Bus TErminal. Airport Express. There is a bus to LGA. IT is one hour by bus, do not know the cost. It is very convenient and reliable. The terminal used to be on ground level. I worked for public transit but now live in Nevada. You can link on PABT.com and get the information.
The problem with LGA is that there is no subway from there to Midtown. You can take the bus that goes there to the subway. Any city bus that goes to LGA connects to the subway at some point, namely the 7 to Times Square and the Port Authority, both in Midtown. You will see signs in the terminal for City buses.However, for more options other than the 7, the Q19B, Q33, Q45, and Q47 buses go to 74 Street-Broadway for the 7,E,F,R,V, and G (which doesnt go into Manhattan) subway lines.If you tell me where exactly in Midtown you are going, I can tell you the best route. The subway is $2.25 one way which is the same price for a local bus fare. If you hop on an express bus, expect to pay $5.50. You can also take a taxi to your exact location for a flat fare, I believe $45 unless that changed with the new taxi fare hike.
First of all, there is no direct subway connection from LGA to Midtown, Manhattan. Therefore, you will need to take a bus from the terminals to either the Astoria Blvd or the Roosevelt Avenue subway station.Now, what part of Midtown your going? You need to make your question more speicific in order of us to help you.Drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile. I ll be glad to help.Good luck and happy holiday
Before you head downstairs to the baggage area and the terminal exitstop in a Hudson Newsstand and buy a $4.50 MetroCardExit the terminal on the Lower Level Take the M-60 bus one stop out of LGA to the Astoria Blvd subway Go to the side of 31st St that is the farthest away from LGAClimb a couple of flights of stairs and catch the Downtown N/W train to Times Square .........and the worldI know that somebody is going to suggest taking the Q-33 to the # 7 train in Jackson HeightsThe problem is that the Q-33 is a crowded slow local bus and it more than a little likely that you would get to TS on the M-60+N/W before you reached 74th St Jackson Heights/#7 train on the Q-33FYI:NYC buses take CHANGE or MetroCards But not bills
Go to the airport s website, click on Ground Transportation for your options. The SuperShuttle shared van is good, if it goes from LGA.
