As a person who had the misfortune of taking Public transport from La Guardia to Manhattan, I would not label entire NYC "world-class" unless I get to append it with "mess".

Jamaica LIRR station, right?

[gipp]

That's JFK. Considerably easier, despite being considerably further away.

You should have taken the private express bus, and instead you complain about your poor choice? Eh?

[greglindahl]

Uh, thanks for the downvotes? My point is that there is no express public transit service from LaGuardia to Manhattan; there's a express private service, and most people know about it. If you look on the Internet it's pretty visible.

This kind of makes the point. A world-class city, but no good public transportation from airport to city center? World-class mess.

[greglindahl]

So NY would be a better city if they started an express bus service that competes with the existing, popular private bus service? Either way, I take the bus.

If a city wants to be truly world-class it needs to have a good public transportation system.
