New York, New York!

New York is a top destination for tourists from around the world, so it stands to reason that the transport links are great! If you’re coming to town from JFK Airport or LaGuardia Airport, the fastest way to get to the city is by cab or Lyft. This should cost around $65 (including tolls and tip.)

A cheaper option to consider is one of the shuttle buses which don’t need to be booked in advance and run from all the local airports.

The cheapest option is public transportation. From JFK, you take the AirTrain ($7.75) to the Subway. Take the A, C, or E train ($3) towards Manhattan, getting off at the 42nd Street Port Authority Bus Terminal Station if you are staying at the Yotel.

If you are coming from LaGuardia, you can take the M60 express bus, which will connect you to 12 different Subway lines. This is the cheapest option to get into Manhattan from LaGuardia but is not the most straight-forward.

When you’re in the city, the famous NYC Subway will get you from location to location. Lyft is quite reasonably priced or, do your best Statue of Liberty impression and hail one of those iconic cabs!
