La metropolitana MTA e l'AirTrain JFK operano 24 ore al giorno, 7 giorni alla settimana. I treni circolano più frequentemente nelle ore di punta (ogni 3-5 o 6-8 minuti) ma possono richiedere tempi di attesa più lunghi negli altri orari.

Most importantly, the subway will only take you to the central Manhattan stations and not to your end destination.
