I live in Manhattan and I now prefer to take Uber/Lyft to the airport whenever there's no surge pricing. Taxis are _supposed_ to have flat pricing but I've never found that to be the case: given all the bridge/tunnel tolls, baggage fees, and airport taxes, I'm consistently charged anywhere from $80-$120 one-way from Midtown Manhattan to LGA (+tip). In comparison, Uber uses GPS tracking to automatically figure out which tolls to tack on, and it costs me $63.

- harryh 12y agoNYC Taxis have a flat fare to JFK. This does not apply to LGA. That being said I have no fucking clue how you're spending $80 or more on that fare. Even if you're coming from the far west wide and sitting in traffic forever you shouldn't be cracking $50.
