AirTrain running
Is the airtrain running from Jamaica LIRR to terminal 5 Friday morning 4/13 at 8am? Someone mentioned I will need to take a shuttle bus due to construction on the AirTrain. If so, where do I catch the shuttle bus and how often do they run?

Take Airtrain from terminal
Take Airtrain from terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station, transfer to E subway to Lexington/53rd St. Transfer to the downtown #6 subway which runs along Lexington Ave which is two blocks east of Madison. Get off depending on what cross street on Madison Ave your destination is, i.e. 42nd St, 34th St., etc. Purchase your Airtrain and subway fare on the same Metrocard before you exit Airtrain at Jamaica.
