No matter how cheap it may be, or convenient, the fact that NYC has no direct rail from JFK or LGA to Manhattan is shameful at best. When compared to other world cities, there is zero excuse for the MTA to not have built it already.

@1879heikkisorsa 10 ай бұрын

@@EMSpdx What are you talking about? Paris has multiple train stations, one even has a EuroStart connection that could bring you directly to London or obviously city center. I wouldn't call Venice a world city and its airport is fairly small (do you seriously compare NYC with Venice?!). And for London: Again, they have multiple options, especially for Heathrow. So starventure is right, why is nyc not capable of building a direct connection for their airports? Every bigger european airport has it as default: Heathrow, Amsterdam, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Madrid, Zurich, Paris, Milano, Berlin, Copenhagen, and dozens more.

@@darkwoodmovies Cuomo ruined the chances of LGA ever getting rail with his foolish idea of using Flushing as a connection to the 7 train. Had they incorporated a new train line from the very beginning that would have gone through Jackson Heights to the Woodside yards, the terminal design would have been different from what it is now. Now there is no room for a train station other than to go eastwards towards Flushing.

You'll have all seen it before I'm sure, but for all of us getting the yellow cab from JFK to Times Square area it's going to be nigh on $100 anyway by the time you add the tip "for doing a job that doesn't require a tip" and all of the taxes. (This was ours arriving at our hotel 8.13pm: Fare $70 and this is the fixed fare rate; Extra's and airport fee $6.75 (as it's peak time after 4pm so it's $5 extra); tolls were $6.94; State surcharge 50 cents; Imp. surcharge $4; Cgn surcharge $2.50; for a total ride fare of $87.69 PLUS tip). Remember though, only tip the base fare! Do NOT tip the taxes. They are already an extra charge, so tip the base fare only. As we'd only just got there and our driver was a nice man, I just gave him a 'Benjamin' 👍🏻😄

When I first started visiting the city I was intimidated with the subway ect. So I started watching videos like yours , printed out maps ect. I decided to make my first subway ride simple from Penn Station to uptown with no transfers to help me gain confidence. After that it was easy ! Also, just use your phone to pay . If you are not sure, ask someone for help . The police as well as other New Yorkers are very friendly . Also a printed copy of the subway system trains are a good back up plan that give one some insurance . So just do you homework and resist using the taxis and Uber - they are expensive and take much more time as you are moving through the streets slowly - at least 5 times slower ! Trains are less than $3.00. I paid $30.00 to go from midtown to downtown and the time it took was 35 minutes vs 10 minutes !

The cheapest way to reach Manhattan is: go with airtrain (free ride) to Howard Beach without exiting . Buy at the vendor a weekly metrocard or a single ride metro card (it depends how long you stay in NY), then come back (for free) to Leffert Blvd, go down and take the Bus Q10 LTD (just pay attention at Leffert BLVD, because there are 2 exit and one of that is for Q3 bus), till last stop Kew Gardens, it takes about 25 minutes. Take Subway E or F and will be in Manhattan in about 1 hour from JFK .

I don't want to be the one to point out you're confusing people. You told people to pick Grand Central as their ticket option via LIRR from Jamaica, but then took a train to Penn Station. Would be helpful if you explained that there are TWO LIRR terminals in Manhattan, either of which may be better depending on where their hotel is. You can also use the LIRR from LGA/Woodside using the Q70 which is probably actually faster than the M60 you mentioned.

One tip for JFK: If the Train Time app is not working for you, just go to Jamaica Station and hop on the LIRR anyways. The conductor can sell you a ticket! They are really nice and understand that you are new in town! Weirdly, there was a hiccup in the Airtrain system so it wound up being free late in the afternoon today. Also: 1) The UN is in session and the President is there, so expect CRAZY traffic in midtown with a very heavy police presence if you are coming right now. 2) Havinga. car service is great if you are in a group or family!

It depends on how large. Private busses (NJ Transit is public transport) like the airport shuttles will have luggage storage at the bottom, accessible from outside, so you won't be carrying that with you to your seat. The airport busses will stop at Port Authority Bus Terminal on 8th Ave, between 40th and 42nd. You can also take the Newark (EWR) Airtrain to Newark Airport Station on NJ Transit. There you can take an NJ Transit train into New York Penn Station (8th Ave, between 31st and 32nd street).

If you use the one card for 3 persons both ways, for a total use of 6, that works out to $4.17/person... half the normal cost of $8.25/person. There will still be 4 unused rides. I usually hand the card to an airport staff member or gate agent so they can use the remainder of rides.

I reiterate what Sarah said in this video regarding Long Island Raid Road service into Manhattan from JFK as opposed to the subway (the E train). Avoid at all costs the E train into Manhattan. It is filled with homeless, assorted mentally ill, and on nights and especially weekends, is subject to not running or delays do to never ending track work. The Long Island Rail Road, LIRR, is well worth the few extra nominal dollars in order to not be subjected to the previously mentioned. As an added note, you have your choice whether to go into Penn Station or Grand Central Terminal, which is great for people staying more east in midtown around 42nd St and Park Ave. Take the Airtrain to Jamaica station, get off, walk about 200 feet to the LIRR tracks and just buy a ticket at the machine. Escalators or elevators will take you right down to your track.

There are dedicated LIRR TVMs before the AirTrain exit faregates which will sell you a combo AirTrain fare and LIRR ticket (on a MetroCard). The line is usually shorter at these TVMs since everyone else is buying one at the NYC Subway TVMs. Just make sure the LIRR conductor returns the MetroCard to you so you can reload it and use it later in your trip.

For foreign tourists, I agree that in the evenings, it is not worth the trouble to save a few dollars to take unfamiliar long bus and subway routes carrying many large pieces of luggage and dealing with beggars, drunks, drug addicts and homeless people hanging out on the bus stops and subway trains.

For people that visit from europe. The rates in the metro/subway does it come with extra charges because the cards used are not from USA? Thanks in advance

4:01 If traveling to Brooklyn, connecting to the A at Howard Beach is probably preferable.

Or you can take the LIRR to Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal.

Two probably daft questions - if you're getting on the subway with a child, what age do they have to be to need to pay and how can you get them through the gates, assuming they don't have their own contactless card or metro card? Thanks!
