Probably because the mob boss of the Transit Union and the mob boss of the Taxi union worked out a little "wink wink" deal so that there would be no trains from LaGuardia to Manhattan. It's the only reasonable explanation. As a result, everybody flying in and out of LaGuardia gets the "privilege" of paying $40 for a cab ride and sit in long traffic jams.
