DL paid ground transfer experience JFK to LGA?

I was reading Delta's international contract of carriage and was surprised to see they have a couple of exceptions to provide ground transportation if you have a paid international ticket and have to transit between airports with a layover <6 hours. I've got such an itinerary coming up and wondered if anyone has experienced Delta paying / arranging this and how it worked?

RULE 30 GROUND TRANSFER SERVICE
A)
GENERAL
Except as otherwise specified below, Delta does not operate or provide ground transfer service between airports or between airports and city centers. Any such service is performed by independent operators who are not and shall not be deemed to be agents or servants of Delta. Although Delta may assist you in making arrangements for such ground transfer service, you agree that Delta is not liable for any act or omission of any such independent operator. If we issue you a voucher to cover the cost of services provided by any such independent contractor and you decide not to use the services, the voucher for such services will have not refund value.

EXCEPTIONS:
Except for passengers traveling on free tickets, Delta will provide ground transfer services at no additional charge in the following circumstances:

1). Transatlantic/Transpacific/Mexico/Caribbean Flights -- New York area airports Delta or Delta Connection passengers making connections between LaGuardia Airport (LGA) or Newark International Airport (EWR) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to or from Delta transatlantic flights will be provided ground transportation between JFK airport and LGA/EWR airports at no additional charge, if the passenger's connecting flight is scheduled to depart no more than 6 hours after the scheduled arrival of the passenger's flight at LGA/EWR/JFK airports.

2) Transatlantic Flights – London and Paris area airports
Ground transfer service between the two London area airports Heathrow (LHR) and Gatwick (LGW) and the two Paris area airports Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY) is included in the fare and will be provided without additional charge for Delta passengers making connections to or from Delta transatlantic flights.
