As a person who had the misfortune of taking Public transport from La Guardia to Manhattan, I would not label entire NYC "world-class" unless I get to append it with "mess".

That's JFK. Considerably easier, despite being considerably further away.

You should have taken the private express bus, and instead you complain about your poor choice? Eh?

Uh, thanks for the downvotes? My point is that there is no express public transit service from LaGuardia to Manhattan; there's a express private service, and most people know about it. If you look on the Internet it's pretty visible.

This kind of makes the point. A world-class city, but no good public transportation from airport to city center? World-class mess.

So NY would be a better city if they started an express bus service that competes with the existing, popular private bus service? Either way, I take the bus.

If a city wants to be truly world-class it needs to have a good public transportation system.
