NJ Transit train?
Amtrak?
Shuttle services?
(I'm assuming a taxi costs significantly more for 1 person).

(I was previously thinking of taking a van from LGA, but it seems like this might cost more and take longer). It's pretty hard to find services, SuperShuttle wanted $90 (ouch!).
You can take the 7 train to the N/Q train at Queensborough Plaza. The N/Q train will take you to 34th Street which will link you to the PATH train. You can take the PATH train to Newark.

This is the cheapest option. $2.25 subway ride plus $1.75 PATH train ticket. But it will take considerable time. I would guess about 2 or 2.5 hours.
