JFK Airport

Which bus line 31/32...Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island, etc.? If you mean Queens, the routes are the Q31 (Jamaica-Bayside) and Q32 (Jackson Hgts-Penn Station). You can catch the Q31 at Jamaica Station by taking Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica. You can catch the Q32 at the Jackson Hgts/Roosevelt Ave stop on the E train from Jamaica. If you mean the Nassau County N31/N32 (Far Rockaway-Hempstead) take Airtrain to Howard Beach Station and then the Far Rockaway-bound (NOT the Rockaway Park-bound) A subway to the end, bus is at Central/Mott Aves.

Inquire at the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive about shuttles or shared shuttle service. Regular Greyhound bus service leaves from Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan and the NYAS express bus ($15) to Port Auth leaves from each terminal approximately every 30 minutes.

Greyhound from Port Authority Bus Terminal goes to Albany ($31), departures on 10/8 at 9pm, 11pm and 11:30pm. Return to NY on 10/12 leaving Albany at 4:25am arriving NYC 7:15am, you'd be at JFK around 8:30am. Did not see a Stuyvesant stop on the route. Amtrak's Empire train to Albany ($37) from Penn Station (also stops at Hudson ($32) south of Stuyvesant) departs on 10/8 at 8:50pm or 11:50pm. Return to NY on 10/12 leaving Albany at 4:50am or Hudson at 5:15am arriving NYC at 7:10am. There are NYAS express buses to/from JFK and Penn Station or Port Authority from each terminal or E subway from either location to Jamaica and Airtrain to terminal. As you'll be traveling in the wee hours of the morning I'd suggest the train to Hudson or Albany and your friends can meet you there.

NYAS express bus to Port Authority leaves from each terminal every 30 minutes, cost is $15. Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and then E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority is $7.25.

Cab to Stamford would likely be over $100. Check at the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive about a shared-ride shuttle (Super Shuttle). You can also take the NYAS express bus from terminal to Grand Central ($15) and then Metro North Railroad to Stamford.

Shuttles like Super Shuttle or AirLink will take you there. Speak to the agents at Ground Transportation Counter or Welcome Center for details.

Thx you so much!

Cheers

For Greyhound bus you have to go to PA bus terminal in Manhattan. The yellow cab will charge you flat fare of $50.50+tip. There is also very convenient express bus called NYAS from JFK to that bus terminal. It costs $15 and it comes in front of every terminal every 20-30 min.

How long does the NYAS take from JFK to Port Authority?
Thanks!

It takes between 45min to 1 hour.

Airtrain/Subway is cheapest; $7.25. Take Airtrain from your terminal to Howard Beach Station. Take the Manhattan-bound A subway to Jay St./Borough Hall. Transfer to the Coney Island-bound F subway to Avenue N./McDonald Ave.

The closest train station to Bloomsburg (I assume this is the Bloomsburg near Reading, PA?) is Lancaster and there is service from Penn Station-NYC to Lancaster through Philadelphia. Check Amtrak on-line for schedule and fares. Greyhound bus service only has one morning bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal-NYC to Allentown, PA, nothing to Reading or Lancaster or later in the day. Looks like the train to Lancaster is the best bet. You can get to Penn Station from JFK by NYAS express bus from terminals ($15) or Airtrain from terminals to Jamaica Station and either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station.

That is the correct cost per person. You can also share a taxi $45+tolls+tip for the four of you but Airtrain/subway is still cheapest.

Train is cheapest, about $20 total cost. Take Airtrain to Jamaica Station ($5) then E subway to Penn Station ($2.25). At Penn Sta. take the NJ Transit NE Corridor train to New Brunswick ($13).

Another way:
Take Airtrain to Howard Beach Station , then Manhattan bound subway A to Columbus Circle and then uptown bound subway 1,2 or 3 to 72str stop.

Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take the E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority, follow signs to transfer to the 1,2,3 subways and take either one uptown to 72nd St. Walk down Broadway one block to the intersection with Amsterdam Ave. Total cost is $7.25.

Yes, the NYAS express bus to Grand Central leaves from the ground transportation area of each terminal approximately every 30 minutes.

There are also shuttles like Connecticut Limo or Prime Time(which is door-to-door) that can take you straight from JFK(any terminal) to Stamford. Just check with the folks at Ground Transportation(Welcome Center) counter for prices and schedules.

Check Greyhound online for fares and schedules from NYC to Stamford. Buses depart from Port Authority Bus Terminal. You can also take the MTA-Metro North New Haven line train from Grand Central Station or Amtrak Northeast Corridor train from Penn Station. Bus and Metro North are generally cheaper than Amtrak. NYAS express bus has shuttles to all three locations from each terminal.

Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station, take E subway to 50th St. and transfer to the uptown C subway to 103rd St. Total cost is $7.25.

Q3 operates pretty much non stop. Here is the schedule for the bus:

You'll need to take a Greyhound bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to Albany. You can take the NYAS express bus to Port Authority from your terminal for $15 or Airtrain to Jamaica Station and E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority for $7.25. Amtrak has train service to Albany from Penn Station (also reached by NYAS bus or E subway) but bus is cheaper than train. Check www.greyhound.com or www.amtrak.com for fares and schedules to Albany.

Take the NYAS express bus from your terminal to Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan where Greyhound is located.

Up to four people can share a cab for a flat rate $45+tolls+tip and will take you direct to the hotel. More than four people...check with the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive about a shuttle van.

You can take a bus or train from Penn Station in Manhattan to Washington, DC and then local transportation from there to your Maryland destination. From JFK you can take the NYAS express bus to Penn Station or Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and E subway or Long Island RR to Penn Station. Boltbus, Megabus and Vamoose Bus leave from the Penn Station area or you can take Amtrak train but bus is cheaper. Once in DC take the Metro Red Line subway to Shady Grove, this stop is closest to Montgomery Village.
