M60 (New York City bus), Q70 (New York City bus)

 * ... that bus rapid transit service along the M60 and Q70 routes was planned as part of a program to establish reliable transit to New York City's LaGuardia Airport at a low cost? Source: LaGuardia Airport Access: Summary. The Q70 (Woodside-LaGuardia connector) isn't mentioned directly, but: "The LGA corridor was identified as needing shorter term, lower cost transit improvements by area residents as part of the Bus Rapid Transit Phase II study in 2009", and the M60 and Woodside-LaGuardia connector are mentioned.
 * ALT1:... that the M60 and Q70 bus routes in New York City were upgraded because New York City's LaGuardia Airport had no other rapid transit options? Source: LGA Access Summary. "LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is the only major airport in the New York metro area without a rapid transit connection, and much of western Queens lacks easy access to the subway for local travel."
 * ALT2:... that prior to the addition of bus rapid transit to New York City's M60 and Q70 routes, bus travel to LaGuardia Airport was slow and cumbersome? Source: LGA Access Summary. "The corridor is currently served by the M60, Q33, Q47, Q48 and Q72 bus routes, but service on these routes is often slowed by narrow streets and long dwell times."

 * Comment: To potential reviewers: if you decide that none of the combined hooks are suitable, let me know and I can come up with a list of separate hooks. Both are recent GA's.
