Subway help advice please?!?!?

Hi!


Okay I am going to NYC and I am flying in to LGA and taking a cab to my Upper West Side hotel, on 102nd Street. I am guessing that will be around $40-$50 total. Is that about right?





Also, I am flying out of Newark Airport.


Since, subway is obviously the cheapest, how do I go about doing that? Would I go to have to go to Grand Central Station on 42nd street in order to catch the subway that takes you to Newark Airport?





Any help or advice i'd appreciate so much. thanksSubway help advice please?!?!?
Your taxi cost estimate should be fine and cover the tip as well, hard to say exactly since traffic can make a difference. You can avoid that uncertainty by using a car service like Dial7, which you can call from courtesy phones at the airport or at 212-777-7777. Their fare to Manhattan from LGA is $31 for a regular sedan.





There's not a subway line that goes to Newark, actually, (they're only in NYC) so you have to start on the subway and then transfer to commuter rail.





You can start from the Times Square station, and take the A, C, E, 1, 2, or 3 lines to Penn Station. Any of those will do, the lines shown in blue or red on the subway map. At Penn, follow the signs to New Jersey Transit, and take either the Northeast Corridor or the North Jersey Coast Line (just choose based on what's leaving sooner) heading to Long Branch (fare should be about $15 with the ';access fee'; to the airport). Stay on until the Newark International Airport stop, and transfer to the AirTrain. Expect the whole trip to take a little more than an hour.Subway help advice please?!?!?

A very informative website, kindly stay a minute in website and check
there is a bus from the Transit Authority port to newark airport
i live at 103rd Street and Riverside Drive, so depending on where your hotel is on 102nd Street, i'm probably only a block away. i think i know which hotel you're going to, but i won't mention the name.





the cab fare will probably be about that much, even after you include the tip, but would you be willing and able to skip the cab and take public transportation instead and spend only $2 (or $2.25 after the fare goes up)???





i do this ride all the time: all you have to do is take the M60 bus (directly from the LGA terminals), and just stay on it all the way to the last stop, which is at West 106th Street between West End Avenue and Broadway, and from there it's less than a 5 minute walk to West 102nd Street and any avenue you have to go to. it'll take a little longer than a cab, maybe 30-45 minutes, but you save yourself a ton of money, and you don't have to worry about missing your stop because the driver will kick you out at the last stop!





now, to get to EWR, first thing to remember is that the NYC Subway does NOT cross any state lines, so you can either take an Airport Shuttle van from your hotel that runs to Newark, or do one of the following:





take the downtown #1 train at 103rd Street (or the C train, if you're closer to the Central Park West subway line) to 42nd Street / Times Square (or 42nd Street / 8th Avenue), where you can take a Newark Airport bus at the Port Authority Bus Terminal; or,





take the same subways to Penn Station, where you take the NJTransit commuter rail train to Newark Airport Station, and get on the AirTrain Newark, which takes you directly to the terminals. i'm not sure what the fares are to EWR, but they are probably around $10 total. look here for more info on getting to EWR: http://www.panynj.gov/AIRTRAINNEWARK/.





have a nice trip and do spend some time in our neighborhood. there's great restaurants and nightlife in our part of the 90's and 100's, and also just a 5-10 minute walk up West End Avenue, Broadway, or Amsterdam Avenue to the Morningside Heights / Columbia University area, from 106th to 116th Streets.
The cab fare from LGA to the 102nd Street on the Upper West Side should cost a little bit more. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 to $55.





In regard to the Newark-Liberty, the subway doesn't go anywhere near Newark Airport. However, you take the subway to Penn Station and then take NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor Line from Penn Station to Newark-Liberty Airport, where a connection can be made to the Newark Airtrain for all terminals.





If you're on Central Park West and Manhattan Avenue, take the downtown (southbound) ';C'; train (Blue Line on the subway map) 103rd Street to Penn Station. The station is located at 103rd Street and Central Park West.





If you're on Columbus, Amsterdam, Broadway, West End Avenue or Riverside Drive, you can take the downtown (southbound) #1 train (Red Line) from 103rd Street to Penn Station. The station is located on Broadway and 103rd Street.





The fare on the subway is $2 one way and on NJ Transit is $15 one way.





Please note that fare on the subway will go up effective June 28th. Therefore, the one way fare on the subway is $2.25. The fare on NJ Transit will remain unchanged.





I hope this information is very helpful.





Good luck
