Travel from JFK to any location in Manhattan is a flat rate ($52.80) + tolls (which range from $0 to $8.50, depending on the route). (Credit: Z22 via Wikimedia Commons) NEED TO KNOW: TAXIS IN NEW YORK CITY Green boro taxis cater specifically to travellers outside the central Manhattan system, which is covered by traditional yellow cabs. No transport needs to be booked in advance. Otherwise, the subway runs more frequently, takes nearly the same amount of time and is less than half the price of the $7.50 to $10.25 LIRR fare. The regional Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) only makes sense if you are staying near Penn Station. Uber is a good backup but surge pricing can make it more expensive than a taxi (although it’s still worth checking the app for your estimated trip charge when you get to JFK – it can be a few dollars less than a regular taxi as Uber charges include tolls). You won’t need a car, and buses aren’t cheaper, quicker or easier than either of the above options. Keep in mind how much luggage you have as well: most subway options include stairs or a transfer, so navigating with hefty bags could be difficult for some.Įither way, skip the car rental counter and the bus stand. Running late and looking to lighten your wallet? Then a taxi is the way to go. Short on cash but long on time? Then the subway is your best choice.
