And may cost just about as much as an Uber. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 2, 09:28 7
- A quick check shows Uber would be half the cost at $87 before tip. A taxi is slightly cheaper with a $70 flat rate from JFK to the city. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 09:36 6
  - Uber prices can fluctuate. The $70 taxi flat rate does not include tolls IINM -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 09:38 5
    - Keep in mind, he's arriving at the beginning of rush hour as well -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 09:39 4
      - There's a $5 surcharge for rush hour so it goes to $75. And you're correct, it doesn't include tolls or tips. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 09:40 3
        
        Tolls can be avoided by taking the bridges but it will add on travel time. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 09:43 2
        
        No good way to the bridges (other than maybe Queensboro) from JFK. But really Van Wyck -> LIE -> Midtown Tunnel is the route to take. Pay the toll. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 09:50 1
        
        Good point. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 09:54
