Depends how many of you are
Depends how many of you are needing transport.
yellow cab is a flat $50 (including tip)
other option is to get the super shuttle, whereby you share the ride with others arriving. It costs $20 per person. Would probably work out cheaper if you are travelling in a large group. http://www.supershuttle.com
Cheapest is the train, but it takes a long time!

getting to Shirley.LI
Shirley,LI isapproximately 50 milesfrom JFK. Shirley is on the south shore of LI in mid suffolk county. Leastexpensive way is using mass transit. You would take the airtrain monorail to the Jamaica Long Island Railroad Station, and from there treansferto a train going to Shirley. Will probably take at least 2 hours total time and about $20.00 US. Only otheroption would be to pre arrange a carservice to pick u up, probably cost at least 75 to 100 dollars. Any other questions please just ask. Good Luck . HG
