Sure if your report and end times are around the times that public transportation runs then cost wise will be fine . Otherwise taking an Uber for 140 dollars is a punch in the di*k. Surely it’s not always that’s pricey but the 94.00 $ hardly covers both directions coming from EWR. I mean I don’t need to profit off of the 94 like some locals do, but I don’t want to loose money either .

Company needs to adjust this and simply cover actual cost of transportation .

FA shuttle is great although not reliable as it’s not truly for us
Exactly. But for some who live on the other side...like Connecticut...or in the city it makes a ton of sense. I’ve done exactly 2 LGA trips in 5+ years. Both were trips I traded into hoping I could trade out and never was able to. It’s a total pain for those with crashpads or hotels in EWR. A hotel in EWR is $115 our the door. Both times at LGA it was $200. Not sure about the airbus but 73 trips out of LGA seem to have a lot more super early starts and late finishes. I’d spend $200 on the LGA Marriott on BOTH ends or sleep in the airport on te back end which is a no go. But I’m sure there are some who love the LGA trips on both fleets. I would if I lived east of the city or in Manhattan.
