Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)

Metro Transit Authority (MTA). A great option if you will be traveling light, the Transit Authority runs M60 bus service from La Guardia right past Columbia University along Broadway and down to 110th St. At only $1.50, the M60 is the least expensive transportation option between Manhattan and La Guardia. Bus service from La Guardia will save you a considerable amount of time over a shuttle. Please note that you will need exact change, a metrocard (purchasable in most subway stations), or a subway token.


Taxis and Car Services

Taking a taxi from La Guardia will cost approximately $15 + toll + tip.

Car service is another transportation option. You will need to call ahead of time to schedule a pick-up. It is advisable to accept a ride only from a driver carrying a sign with your name on it. While we cannot endorse any specific company, the following are estimates of the cost of car service from La Guardia to Morningside Heights. Please note that tolls, tips and parking are not included in the cost.
  • Carmel Car Service: $25.00
  • Tel-Aviv Car Service: $25.00


Shuttle Service

Shuttle service by Super Shuttle runs a van service all day. Pick-up time is every 20 to 30 minutes and varies with the terminal. The travel time is approximately 45-60 minutes. There is no need to reserve a place on the shuttle; you can place a courtesy call at ground transportation to alert a representative (look for the blue van). Passengers can be dropped off in Morningside Heights. The cost is approximately $15-$19 one-way.
