Thanks for the quick response. I'm surprised no one runs a water taxi service, at least during the good weather months. I'm sure lots of folks miss the Delta Water Shuttle. I'll suggest the bus/subway combo.
- Does this combo and fare apply during the week?
- Is it fairly easy to take the bus/subway with a small amount of luggage (1-2 pieces)?
- Do you ask the bus driver for a transfer when you board the bus?

1)The price applies regardless to time and date.
2) It is fairly easy to take the subway with a small amount of luggage, a bit more cumbersome on the bus. During rush hours it becomes a bit more difficult.
3) Make sure the person buys a Metrocard. It is true the buses do not accept dollars. The card will allow for a free transfer from the train to the bus as long as the transfer is within 2 hours of the entry to the train.
Another suggestion, if an additional $10 is not out of the question is to take the train to Grand Central Station and to catch the airport buses to LGA. Thy run about once every 15-30 min and are more comfortable and faster than the M60 which is a public bus. This way would be my choice if the additional $10 isn't prohibitive.
