Excuse me, I'm arriving at 8pm at JFK what would be the fastest way to go to Grand Central station
Thanks in advance

The fastest way is always by yellow cab. It costs flat fare of $50.50 + tip.Travel time is around 40-50 min.
There is also an express bus(NYAS) that costs $15.
The bus comes every 20-30 min and it takes ~50 min to get to Grand Central

Taxi is fastest, fare is $45+tolls+tip.

Hi, I will be getting in late at JFK (after 10pm). Will I be able to get to into Manhattan via the AirTrain after midnight or does everything shut by a certain time?

Public transportation(Airtran and subway in this case ) is operation non stop.
