⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ LaGuardia Airport to Midtown Manhattan, NYC via Bus & Subway - Raw & Unedited

[@yaya3025]

How nice to hear and see you today. You are a NYC tourist dream. Your channel should be advertised on public transportation and at the airport. Excellent work!

[@yaya3025]

@ yeah I learned something new aa well.

[@benjmiester]

True! It would make a lot of sense to run these on to NYC flights so people can get familiar before they arrive.

[@raineyj560]

@@yaya3025 yes I never knew the 99999 because I always do small fares since the MTA took my large amount and took my bank to refund me, smh

[@sudippaudyal8805]

narrated video without mentioning it in a title!!! that's the perfect surprise gift for me.. thanks dude 😂

[@ActionKid]

Want to add some things: You can buy a MetroCard at the “Hudson News” vendors inside the airport. The MetroCards purchased here are not subject to the $1 new card fee. Purchasing a MetroCard from the machines at the airport or subway station, and the ticket booth at the subway station are subject to the $1 new card fee. When using a Pay Per Ride MetroCard (currently $2.75 each ride), you get one free transfer between the bus and the subway, as long as the transfer is made within 2 hours of the first use. So even if the MTA stops making the Q70 bus free, you will still get a free transfer to the subway system. So the entire ride will still cost $2.75. When using an Unlimited Ride MetroCard, everyone in your party will need to purchase one. You will need to wait 18 minutes between uses on the same bus route or subway station so the card can’t be shared. Subway service on the weekends is usually different than the weekdays do to planned maintenance and service changes. This website is amazing for showing the service changes on the weekends and the author updates it every Friday: subwayweekender.wordpress.com Be wary of illegal taxis and car services at the airport, who may charge higher fares. You can always see if a driver is licensed by checking their credentials inside the vehicle. For those on mobile Timestamps 2:12 - Purchasing a MetroCard (NYC's Payment Method for the Public Transportation System) 3:35 - Purchasing a fare for the Q70 or M60 Select Bus Service 10:45 - Boarding the Q70 Select Bus Service to Jackson Heights - Roosevelt Avenue 33:50 - Exiting the Q70 Select Bus Service at Jackson Heights - Roosevelt Avenue 35:10 - Entering the Subway System 40:10 - Boarding the E train to Manhattan 58:55 - Exiting the E train at 7th Avenue - 53rd Street

[@leverseidge1990]

buying a MetroCard. As I'm not going to use my debit card, I am only going to use Cash. At JFK will there be the same vendors inside the airport?

[@ActionKid]

@@leverseidge1990 Yes, I saw Hudson News inside JFK as well. You can buy a MetroCard there with cash. The AirTrain from JFK currently costs $5.00 in MetroCard fare (They're considering raising the price to $7.75). However, taking the AirTrain to any of the airport terminals is free. There are MTA public buses at Terminal 5 which only cost $2.75 and connect to the subway system (but it's a much longer ride than the AirTrain).

[@leverseidge1990]

@@ActionKid So, its free to go from any airport to Manhattan by using the AirTrain.

[@ActionKid]

No, if you use the AirTrain to connect to the subway there's a $5.00 fare.

[@seifalah0626]

Hudson DOES take credit cards. They take either one. There's a Hudson store right next to the doors that sells metro cards (you passed it on your way when you turned after the escalator)

[@myoung72207]

Thanks so much for this video. I've always taken a cab to Manhattan, but you just saved me a bunch of money. My wife and I flew into LGA last week. We took the bus and subway to 57th Street and had a short walk to our hotel next door to Ed Sullivan Theater. We bought the 7-day metro card, so for the price of an Uber or Taxi, we were able to use public transportation all week. We owe you! Thanks again!

Cool...Get to see a reflection of "Action Kid" in the window (41:30) and an "underground" tour of Queens. Personally I think the City of New York should hire this guy..He's a great tour guide.

[@clintonefird3076]

Awesome video. I had no idea it was this easy to get to Manhattan from LaGuardia. It cost me over $100 to get to the airport from Manhattan in 2019 using Uber. Great information.

[@normangebhardt2092]

Thanks for going all the way out to LaGuardia Airport to start this most interesting action video. Enjoyed it.

[@susangill5]

Thank you, I don't live in NY anymore but I watched it because NY will always be in my heart. It certainly is a helpful video!!! I was so happy to see your reflection in the subway window! Now I'm wishing for some of your biography. Like if you live with your parents. You look very young. I wish you the best. I've started letting the ads run their course so you make more money. Love your channel!!!

Thanks! Hopefully this video helps you!

[@2FeCarbon]

Before I ever saw what you look like,by the sound of your voice I had always envisioned you as a curly frizzy haired Jewish guy with that marvelous NYC accent you have. You are truly an American New Yorker! Have you ever watched the TV show called Snapped? The first narrator of that show I had always envisioned her are a feisty red headed Irish woman,until I saw what she looked like and realized at that time how voices do not determine what a person could possibly look like if you never see then speaking but only hear their voices. I thought she was Irish for years until one day she appeared as a guest star on a TV show and I kept saying to myself..."Why does her voice sound so familiar?" Until she said in a sentence is her script... (You know you can do that "too"?) She always had a unique way of saying "too" like no other person I've ever heard before or since. It is almost comedic how she says that "too" LMAO

[@ActionKid]

I’ve never heard of that show actually. I’ll have to check it out!

I've taken that route many times and only paid $2.75 into midtown. One tip for out of towners...you can also buy a Metrocard inside the airport at any Hudson News shop...easier than using the machines and you can use cash.

[@ActionKid]

I knew about the Hudson News shop but forgot to mention it. Do they accept credit cards for buying MetroCards there?

Interesting video. I have often wondered what the New York public transport was like and this video gives a good idea. I actually live in Melbourne Australia. The New York subway is certainly extensive. We only have three underground subway stations here in Melbourne.

[@Avenue72nd]

Another great video ❤❤😊. Everyone see all the spots on the subway train windows? That is why I never lean up against them. It's more bacteria buildup there than the rails to hold on.

[@5argetech56]

No booth clerk, and you are charged a $1 fee to buy a metrocard from those machines..... That Sucks! 08:04 I noticed the Low Rider Bus... Nice :) I would like to say thank you for keeping me in touch with my Home City.. I still Love new New York..

I forgot to mention you can also buy a MetroCard from the “Hudson News” vendors inside the airport. They’re not subject to the $1 new card fee but I think they don’t accept credit cards for MetroCard purchases.

[@palgree6824]

This is a great travel clip for people coming into Midtown Manhattan. I would greatly appreciate if you could do another clip going back, from midtown back to Laguardia airport on a Sunday. That is confusing to me because it is not the same as weekday travel. Thanks

[@ActionKid]

Weekend travel is always confusing due to the many service changes. It varies from weekend to weekend so you will need to stay updated. I filmed this video during a Sunday, and the E train was running local. Normally it is an express train in Queens. I’m a big fan of this website for my weekend subway travels: subwayweekender.wordpress.com/

[@optikdave]

In 1971-2, I was a messenger and went to LGA weekly taking the 7 from Grand Central to 74/Jackson Hts and then the Q33. Back then the bus was not part of the MTA so the fare was 35c for each leg. Total 70c.

After being a New Yorker for a while, you eventually almost never swipe the metrocard too slow or too fast. The sweet spot on swiping speed just becomes muscle memory after a while.

The M60 is a little faster into manhattan via 125street 456 trains are on the eastside and 23ABCD trains are on the westside if people want to go that way also if your at Marine Air Terminal you can also take the Q47bus to Roosevelt Avenue subway station since the Q70 doesnt go to Terminal A

[@ActionKid]

I don’t want to lead people to the M60 because the Astoria Boulevard (N)(W) station is closed for renovation until December 2019. The bus also travels away from Midtown.

[@pamelagriffin3561]

I get what your saying

The M60 WILL get stuck in traffic! Also, if you are unfamiliar with 125th St, it may be confusing trying to catch the subway downtown. However, going TO LaGuardia, nothing beats the M60.

This month I went to Manhattan and tried the route LGA - Bus - Queens subway - midtown Manhattan. I was scared at first because super new to me but it went so smooth. LGA - LGA Q70 bus stop to Queens 74th St subway - 7 train or F train to midtown. So cost effective. I will say please know what the outside of Queens 74th St subway looks like or use Google app because your bus driver may not announce stops and the monitor could be wrong. However, it is generally 1st stop.

Yes there’s an AirTrain to be constructed but it will just take people even further away from Manhattan.
