Is it better to take a cab or subway?

Subway is cheaper although you may have to make a few switches, cab would take you directly to your destination.

what is the cost from JFK to times square for 4 people

Subway

Subway + AirTrain JFK: PROS: Will cost maximum of $8.00(USD) to go anywhere in the city (wherever the train goes conveniently). CONS: Very time consuming, and during rush hours, trains can be very crowded. NYC Taxi: PROS: Can get to specific locations, and reach areas where the subway may not reach. CONS: Very costly, and with NYC Fares, paying the driver may reach almost $50 or more depending how far the destination is.

I would like to go to downtown by shuttle. could you inform how to proceed?

Subway. Be prepared for money beggers or dancers.

You can also take the AirTrain to get out JFK, it's close to all gates and quick. Then switch to subway up to downtown if you need.

If you have Luggage better to take a cab , UBER or shuttle service. If you don't have much Luggage and are familiar with the subway system then go for subway. For first timers prefer the Cab

Where did JFK jrs PLANE land in 1999?

If you are Traveling with a lot of Bags and People the Choose a Cab or Rent a Car. Ride the Subway if you are traveling single.

Yes so easy

You can take the train however the trains that connect to JFK don't exactly pass through the most pleasant neighborhoods. Cabs are expensive but I think faster.

Consider a combination if you have little luggage. The "E"subway has stops on 55th, Poet Authority Bus Terminal, and Penn Station. Then take a taxi to your ultimate destination.

Weird question but this airport is in Queens NY or the city? As In Manhattan?

Subway is cheapest.

Depends. A subway is much cheaper than a cab in New York, but taking a subway also requires walking to destinations, so if you're carrying a ton of stuff around for whatever reason, a cab or an Uber may be easier (but much more expensive).

Is it safe to take the subway at 3:00 am?

Both

depends to where and time of the day.

It depends. If you're running late, then take a taxi 🚕 cab. I prefer Lyft which is less expensive than Uber. Public transportation like the AirTrain is even better since there's no traffic. Catch it from the Sutphin Blvd/Archer Ave LIRR Train Station.

I would recommend taking the subway because it is cheaper than a taxi. Depending where you are, you might have to make a few transfers at subway stations and is usually easy to figure out. If you want to get from Point A to the airport directly, take a taxi, but can be unpredictable with traffic.

Depends on your destination

There are a number of services depending on your destination. Subways are likely to be the least expensive. You can look for other options, including bus and shuttle service, in the ground transportation area upon arrival.
