Yeah they seem to have diferent fares based on the street you go to. https://www.newarkairport.com/to-from-airport/taxi-car-and-v...

EWR is actually faster to get to from certain parts of manhattan over JFK.

JFK is usually a speedy trip. Take the LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and it's 22 minutes to Jamaica, then about 10 minutes to the terminals.

If it's rush hour, the train pretty much always beats driving. Off hours, consider the $70 to be home in 10 minutes.

Yeah, I wish LGA would get the subway connection because the LIRR to JFK is usually faster and much cheaper than a taxi during rush hour to LGA.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. Good to know!
