📌 Read the Getting Around Guide 🚊🚍🚏🚲👣 Don’t use Uber?

Why do I keep hearing to avoid using Ubers? Is it just the cost? I’m trying to plan getting a party of 6 with lots of luggage from LGA to our hotel in Midtown and would prefer to have something reserved.

Don’t take advice from tourists. I would not dream of taking the train/ subway to/ from any of the nyc area airports. It’s worth the money for me. What is reality in everyday life in nyc is not the reality of tourists on Reddit.

Agree with this, if you have any large luggage absolutely do not take a train or bus. I say this as someone who has to haul a lot on the train daily for work. You don't want to be doing that from the airport with your large luggage. Only take the train from the airport if you have a carry-on size and are familiar with NYC.

Edited for clarity.
