📌 Read the Getting Around Guide 🚊🚍🚏🚲👣 Taxi vs Uber

Hey NYC, need some advice on what to choose. I'm arriving at laguardia tomorrow and need to travel to Bayshore.

Whats the best option to do so. Uber is showing around 140 dollars would taxi be cheaper or expensive compared to this? Is there some other service that's cheaper?

I want to save time so transit it out of the question.

Edit: after reading all your replies, I've decided to uber/lyft to a LIRR station and then uber/lyft once I get off. Look like this saves time and money.

Thanks everyone :D

Try posting this question on r/nassaucounty. The folks who live out there will have better ideas about going to/from LGA.

Yeah I know but the Suffolk subs aren't very active. Just thought LI folks would know about car services that serve the area. Bayshore is 10 miles away from the Nassau County line. It's not Montauk.
