I think you'll probably have to take a bus into Manhattan and then a separate bus to LGA.

None that I'm aware of. Plenty of buses to Manhattan and then you can get a bus to NYC. Some have drop offs at numerous places in Manhattan, some close to connections that will get you to the airport.

Dumb question but I'll ask anyway - Where can you fly to from Laguardia that you can't fly from Logan?
I don't think there is a bus that is any better than taking an Amtrak train.

Hi Elly!

There is a great site that lets you search bus travel between any two cities in the U.S. http://www.wanderu.com but they require an invitation to use it while they are in private beta. I just did a search for you and here is the info for a bus/transportation from Boston to Laguardia:

You can take:

Boltbus.com from South Station to 34th and 8th avenue (will cost around $15 depending on day traveling and when you book).
At 8th avenue you take the subway, E train going towards Jamaica Center. Get out at Parsons/Archer (8 stops) and walk 3 minutes to Roosevelt Av/76 St and take the Q33 Bus to Laguardia Airport.

Hope this helps!!

To add to what castingpf said, at Penn Station you can also get the airport bus that goes directly to LGA. It's about $12-15 one way and a lot easier than train and bus, IMO.

Thanks so much guys!! I decided the train would be the best option. I can't believe they don't have a straight stop to the airport! Thank you for all your help and research

Still didn't answer my dumb question. Where are you going that you can't get to from Logan?
