Very impressive with that 6-foot gauge or whatever it is. Standard gauge? Piffle.

[@lohphat]

The cars are really wide to handle a lot of passengers and luggage. It uses 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge.

Why is there always someone on the train in NYC that sounds like they are missing brain cells...

How much did this cost?

[@lohphat]

AirTrain is now $8.25 payable via a Metrocard or now OMNY tap to pay via phone or card.

[@JProd1gy]

You only have to pay $8.25 (using MetroCard or OMNY) if you are at either the Jamaica or Howard Beach station. The rest of the stations are free from paying. To save money, I recommend taking a nyc bus route that will take you to JFK airport. That way you have fun riding the AirTrain for free. Avoiding to pay the $8.25 fare :). Hope this helped

@@JProd1gy The bus can be a challenge if you have large suitcases or have issues with stairs. Using the Subway or LIRR offers step-free access to/from the airport and also saves time. I can get to/from JFK from Upper Manhattan in 60-90 minutes via rail.
