Once upon a time not too long ago,there were only a few ways to navigate around New York as a tourist:-- The subway (and bus system)
-- Taxicabs
-- WalkingWhat's more, as recently as 11 years ago, and your practical options getting to and from JFK Airport were really limited to taxis,since there was no possible way of getting to the terminals via train from the city. Since 2003, there's now AirTrain, or which connects JFK with the Jamaica and Howard Beach subway/train stations in Queens.
Though my past experiences in New York largely relied on the dependable subway/cab/walking paradigm,on this trip I ended up not only using AirTrain in conjunction with the subway to gain from JFK to Manhattan, but also two much more recent game-changers for getting around the city: Uber and Citi Bike.
