Ground Transportation
Train: The AirTrain JFK light-rail system connects the airport to four subway lines and the Long Island Rail Road. A trip to midtown Manhattan -- take the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, then the LIRR or the "E" subway to Penn Station -- takes about 35 minutes and costs $12 during peak fare hours.
Shuttle: Several shuttle companies connect JFK to Manhattan and beyond. A trip to Midtown Manhattan can run about $19. Details and schedules are available at each terminal's ground transportation counter.
Taxi: For your own safety, use uniformed taxi dispatchers to get a taxi.
The Flat Fare rate to Manhattan costs $45 plus tolls and tip, and may take as long as an hour. For other destinations, there is a 50-cent surcharge for trips from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily and a $1 surcharge for trips from 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays.
