From JFK to Manhattan:Airtrain + Subway = $7 Airtrain + LIRR (Weekends) = $8 Airtrain + LIRR (off peak) = $10.75 Airtrain + LIRR (peak) = $12 NYAS = $15 Taxi = $45 + tolls + tip No matter how you look at it, Airtrain is always the cheapest option, especially considering that parking at the airports is not cheap at all. Add the tolls from bridge/tunnel crossings, and the cost of driving is well over the cost of taking Airtrain. So it's not about cost as much as getting to the terminal without having to change trains, which you have to do even in Europe. It is amusing how people complain about JFK not being a "one seat ride" but no one really complains about Newark. |
