JFK Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The JFK Express, advertised as The Train to The Plane, was a premium-fare service of the New York City Subway, connecting midtown Manhattan to Howard Beach–JFK Airport on the IND Rockaway Line, where a bus connected to JFK Airport. The JFK Express used exclusively R46 cars for most of its existence though near its end R44 cars were used when the R46 cars began to enter midlife overhauls. JFK Express service began in September 23, 1978, and it stopped running on April 15, 1990 due to low ridership, long before AirTrain JFK opened. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/JFK_Express   (364 words)

An airport-commuter link is crucial for Downtown Rail access to JFK is the centerpiece of Mayor Bloomberg’s Vision for Lower Manhattan; it has been strongly endorsed by Governor Pataki; it is, along with the transit hubs, the highest transportation priority for Downtown’s largest employers and it has been actively supported by Community Board 1. Meanwhile, direct rail access to JFK airport and Long Island will cost anywhere from $2 billion-$5 billion (the exact cost to become clearer when the L.M.D.C. recommendation, with its preferred alternative among four it is now studying, is unveiled next month). Currently, 70 to 80 minutes is required to travel to the JFK terminals from Lower Manhattan by public transportation, and with at least one change in mode of transportation. www.downtownexpress.com /de_46/anairportcommuter.html   (679 words)

John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City JFK is located in Queens at the south end of the Van Wyck Expressway. This airport primarily handles international flights; it has a one mile long "international zone", which is run not by the U.S. Government, but by the United Nations. This drops you off right at the "JFK" subway station, which takes you through Brooklyn and connects to all major subway routes. www.ny.com /transportation/airports/JFK.html   (505 words)

My last ride on the JFK Express subway in April 1990. Instead of a sign advertising a JFK Express stop, there were elaborate instructions to take a "F" train to Jay Street, transfer to a Rockaway-bound "A" train, get off at Howard Beach where a shuttle bus will go to airport. The two co-mingled for a while, with the JFK Express making all express stops on the 6th Avenue Line, crossing to the 8th Avenue Line at West 4th Street, then making limited stops to JFK and the track (when the horses are running) that included Chambers Street, Fulton Street and Jay Street only). Since the JFK Express ran every 20 minutes throughout the day, and stopped at the track if someone wanted to, there was little reason to have an Aqueduct Special continue. www.lakemirabel.com /Railroad/LastJFK1.html   (3067 words)

Back, and to the left. | Ask MetaFilter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) The Wall Street Journal tested several methods of getting to JFK and determined that a yellow cab is the fastest, but of course the subway is the cheapest. I usually take the E because it is express through Queens, as opposed to the A which goes local through Brooklyn. Hat -- the JFK express bus is the exact midpoint between convenience and price as the two extrema of "$7 OMG LOL (+ heaping misery / worry as you watch the minutes tick by)" and travelling in style by cab. ask.metafilter.com /mefi/39750   (1016 words)

JFK has 80 percent of the region's international travelers but the worst ground transportation in the unreliable and badly overloaded Van Wyck Expressway.

Re: Bring the JFK Express back...can it be done? Posted by streetcarman1 on Sun Apr 23 11:17:29 2006, in response to Bring the JFK Express back...can it be done?
