I have to fly back to Korea on Tuesday, but I have to change airports from LGA to JFK, and would prefer to be as cost-effective as possible. Apparently there's no connecting railline, and everyone thus far has told me taxi's will cost upwards of $80 for a 20minute trip, which is pretty ridiculous, and other searches only show results to forums in which people complain about the fares/travel time/etc.
If anyone lives near LGA or whatnot would they be willing to give me a lift for somewhat less money than the taxi or whatnot :O?
I arrive at LGA Tueday at 7:20am but my layover to get to JFK is about 5hrs, so that's not an issue of how early or whatnot I need to be picked up, and then my flight leaves to Korea from there.
Thanks to anyone that has any helpful info, the internet is shotty here and searching takes a while to load pages/etc so I of course didn't go too in-depth, so if anyone can post helpful answers I'd much appreciate it ~

Super shuttle is $20. Or if you want to be adventurous, you can take the bus from LaGuardia to a metro line, then take it from there.

the bus is the m60, take it to the subway stop at astoria boulivard (this is above ground, so don't be confused). From there look at a map, it will be a long trip, but only 1 or 2 transfers. I'd do the shuttle, personally.

Ill come pick you up and take you to TLHQ. From there I will use the experimental teleport. I will successfully teleport to JFK at which point you will step into the device. Just as the launch sequence is completing, Lamar the headcrab will jump into your portal, interefering with the quantum entaglement probability functions. You will phase into and out of existence within a 50 meter radius of every local teleporter device in the world simultaneously. Suddenly you will be spit out of the spacetime vortex 8 meters north of HQ.
At this point, the Combine will be on to you so you will need to abandon hq and make your way on foot to Black Harlem. Along the way you will receive aid from nyc mlg barcrafters and vavgrant vortigaunts. You will likely commendeer a boat along the way. It will be pretty useless in Queens though.
At black Harlem, you will be greeted by several prominent members of the esports community. However, Naniwa will secretly alert the combine of your presence by sending them a coded message. The message, once decoded by the Combine will read "joke tournament."
You will be forced to escape into zombie_infested bayside. If you manage to survive, you will be lent a car which you can use to drive to JFK. You will miss your plane though

o.o sounds like you really really spent some time planning this out. I'm truly sorry that you will miss your plane but your fate has just been written.

if you want -- you can take the Q33 to Jackson Heights (where the subway is), get on the Subway and take the E going to jamaica center, queens. Get off at Sutphin blvd, then take the AirTrain to JFK.
subway is like 2.25 and airtrain is 7.25

yea its actually not terribly complicated to get from LGA to JFK on public transit, just use google maps.
If public transit isnt an option and you cant find anything else you should use a car service, there should be plenty around, and you can ask airport personal for a number they usually have a bunch of business cards lying around.
It wouldnt be cheap but i imagine it will be something like 40$

As dinosaurcow explained... The most reliable way is to use MTA, bus and train is only 1 ride since its counted as a free transfer. The most you probably would spend traveling to JFK from LGA is $10.

I think your humor won't help him get teleported though.
I would just use the shuttle, as one user mentioned. Pretty safe bet.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be insulting or not, but I do want to point out that the information above was written on my phone from a boat on the Atlantic ocean, far east of the map LastShadow will be on.

That is quite possibly the best and most well-thought out half-life reference I have ever seen.
