Le métro MTA et le JFK AirTrain opèrent 24h/7. Les trains circulent plus fréquemment pendant les heures de pointe (toutes les 3-5 ou 6-8 minutes) mais peuvent être plus longs à d'autres moments.

Les bus ont leurs propres horaires et ne sont malheureusement pas disponibles 24h/7. Il est toujours préférable de vérifier les horaires sur le site Web du MTA avant de vouloir prendre le bus.
