Long Island
What train do I take from LaGuardia airpot to Long Island, near zip code area 11763 ?
We need to catch a train to Long Island, as close as we can get to the Medford area, from LaGuardia Airport.
No problem :
Take a yellow cab from LGA to the LIRR station at 61St st & Roosevelt Ave in Woodside>
Regardlesss of traffic it shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes or cost you more than $15.00
The actual distance is around 4 miles
Take the LIRR to Medford
The LIRR ticket office and Ticket Vending Machines >TVMs > are located one level above the LIRR train platform
Under no circumstances do you buy a ticket on the train b/c you will pay an additional and hefty fee for doing that

Note:
If the cabbie is really good and actually knows WTF he's doing he can save you the effort of schlepping your luggage up a flight of stairs or two by dropping you off on the LIRR platform level which is located on 62nd pl (?) just off of Woodside Ave
