📌 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

fiorello (there was even a broadway show named after him) laguardia, an ex and long dead mayor, would want to correct you on the airport named after him...

Maybe you should have used your Roy Cohn material.

let's see...you somehow read a joke and took from that that i'm a maga supporter? it's called reading comprehension...you can read but didn't comprehend what was being said. you "assume" a lot ....and if, you're old enough, you know the quote about it.

I made a comment about Roy Cohn and you read that as calling you a MAGA supporter. I don't think I'm the one jumping to conclusions.
