Flying into Laguardia Airport tomorrow, whats the easiest way to get to Nassau Coliseum via train/subway etc"?

• I will be flying into Laguardia tomorrow, and from there going to the Nassau Collisuem for a concert. Whats the best/easiest way to get to there using the transit system? Which route do I take? Im from Atlanta, and I'm unfamiliar with the train system etc, but I do know I don't want to pay $60 bucks for a cab. Thanks

• Answer:

  1) Take a cab to the Woodside Station of the Long Island Rail Road about 3.5 miles 2) Get a ticket for the LIRR ride from Woodside to Hempstead at the ticket vending machines[ TVMs ] or if open the LIRR ticket office which is located on the second level of the station To the value of the LIRR ticket you will want to add the value -$2.25 one way -of the MetroCard which you will use to get on the bus that will take you from Hempstead to the Nassau Coliseum 3) When you get to Hempstead take the N-70/71/72 bus to your destination http://lirr42.mta.info/sfweb/faces/index.jspx http://mta.info/metrocard/index.html http://mta.info/libus/routes/n707172/n707172times.htm
