Getting to La Guardia Airport is going to be getting a little bit easier for many Long Island City residents.
Starting Sunday, a new express bus service will take passengers from 61st/Woodside to La Guardia Airport.
The new Q70 route, which will make just one stop—at Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue—could get travelers from Long Island City to LaGuardia in less than 30 minutes by taking the 7 train to Woodside and the Q70 to the airport.
Officials claim that travelers in midtown Manhattan could get to the airport via the 7 train and Q70 in 35 minutes.
Also beginning Sunday is the new B32 bus route between Williamsburg Bridge Plaza in Brooklyn and the Court Square-23rd St. E/M train station in Long Island City.

And rather than use the existing bus stop on 21st St & 44th Dr for the new B32, they’re doubling the size of it so more than half the block is now a bus stop.
Agree with Joe. I’m not sure why a subway and bus schlep to the airport is anything to be thrilled about. A much better solution would be to have an actual subway station at La Guardia like other cities have.
A cab is about $20 and takes 10 minutes with no traffic. Not sure why many LIC residents would bother with this new route.
and…. where will the bus pickup be at 61st St ….
Alongside the Rockaway bus stop ??? or ????
