I've had great luck with both the M60 and the Q33, although like all public transportation, sometimes they can get crowded. However, I never take the M60 to or from Manhattan, as traffic can snarl its way over the Triboro Bridge and typically causes it to crawl across 125th Street. Instead, I generally only use it between Astoria (where I catch the N/W trains) and LGA. I think the E to the Q47 would have been the right choice. And although I'm never going or coming from as far south as Wall Street, and never going or coming from the Marine terminal, I find the ride on the the E/Q33 combo, or the N/M60 combo, between midtown and LGA to be reliably an hour. For $2, that's a pretty sweet deal.
