- goalonetwo 3y agoMy understanding is that EWR doesn't have the flat rate because it is outside of NYC (and is also so far away that I cannot imagine how much a cab would be for that destination)
- makestuff 3y agoYeah they seem to have diferent fares based on the street you go to. https://www.newarkairport.com/to-from-airport/taxi-car-and-van-service https://www.newarkairport.com/to-from-airport/taxi-car-and-v... EWR is actually faster to get to from certain parts of manhattan over JFK.
- goalonetwo 3y agoThanks, I didn't realize that. Good to know!
- jrockway 3y agoJFK is usually a speedy trip. Take the LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and it's 22 minutes to Jamaica, then about 10 minutes to the terminals. If it's rush hour, the train pretty much always beats driving. Off hours, consider the $70 to be home in 10 minutes.
- makestuff 3y agoYeah, I wish LGA would get the subway connection because the LIRR to JFK is usually faster and much cheaper than a taxi during rush hour to LGA.
