Uber Shuttle leaves from Atlantic Terminal, which is also the home of the LIRR. It's a train that goes to the airport on a fixed schedule. More comfortable and reliable than the Subway for $2 more.

I have a place near Penn Station and take the LIRR to JFK almost religiously. But the most expensive part of the journey is the Uber to Penn. Having a shuttle that picks me up at my apartment and deposits me in Jamaica would be a solid pitch against the LIRR.

That sounds like the old Super Shuttle (which I know from CA, not NY).

I thought Uber's offering was more like a bus - you meet at the terminal and it takes you to the airport.

They offer this at JFK and LGA but I heard the buses are empty, and their price is really low, so not sure it's going to work long-term.

This is correct. They pick up at a small number of transit hubs and go direct to the airports.
