The Q70 bus goes directly from the LGA passenger terminals to the Roosevelt/Jackson Hts subway station. No other stops along the way, so it's mostly travelers and employees. From there catch the E,F,M, or R trains to Manhattan. The ride is $2.75, and the transfer from bus to subway is free if you use a Metrocard.
Plus the ride is very picturesque.
