Unit fare:

- 1/5 of a mile, when the taxi is traveling at more than 6 miles/hour

The taximeter willl combine fractional measures of distance and time in accruing a unit of fare. Any combination of distance or time shall be computed by the taximeter.

The fare shall include pre-assessment of the unit currently being accrued; the amount due may therefore include a full unit charge for a final, fractional unit.

Peak hour Weekday Surcharge of $1.00: MON - FRI 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Tolls

Tolls enroute to destinations within New York City are the responsibility of the passenger. On all trips within the New York City, any bridge and tunnel tolls to the destination shall be paid by the passenger, who shall be informed before the start of the trip.

On all trips within the City of New York, return tolls shall not be charged except for trips over the Cross Bay Veterans, Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial, and Verrazano Narrows Bridges.

On trips beyond the City of New York, all necessary tolls to and from the destination shall be paid by the passenger.

Flat Fare from JFK Airport:

The Taxi & Limousine Commission is conducting a Flat Fare program for trips between (to and from) the Manhattan and JFK International Airport.

The flat fare is $45.00 plus any tolls. The meter will not be turned on and the night surcharge will not be added.

If passengers request multiple stops, the flat rate of $45.00 will be collected at the first stop in either Manhattan or John F. Kennedy Airport, and the meter will be turned on for the remainder of the trip. The metered fare should be collected at the last stop, from the last passenger.

Hello,

Im flying in to JFK and was told the cheapest and sometimes the best way to get to my hotel on Long Island City is by train? Can someone please tell me how I can get from JFK airport to the Howard Johnson Inn Long Island on 3871 13th Street, and approximately how long is the train ride?

Thank you very much!

1. Take Airtrain from JFK to Jamaica Station
2. Take Subway line E to Roosevelt Ave.
3. Transfer to subway line F
4. Get off at 21st street stop.
5. Walk on 21st street towards 40th Ave and make left on 40th Ave.
6. Make right on 13th street - the hotel is right around the corner.

The train ride(from JFK to 21st street) is approximately 40-50 minutes.Plus another 10 minutes of walk.

Taxis are a flat rate of $45.00 to Manhattan. I'm going to East 88th Street in Manhattan, so it will be $45.00, correct?

Yes, you are correct.
