How much does the AirTrain + subway cost and how do I pay?
The AirTrain costs $5 per person per ride (unless you are a frequent rider, in which case you can purchase a MetroCard with 10 AirTrain rides for $25, valid for 6 months). The subway costs $2.25 to go anywhere in the system, also payable with MetroCard. Transfers between trains are free at any station indicated as a transfer point on the subway map. The easiest way to get a MetroCard is from the vending machines when you get off the AirTrain. MetroCards come in unlimited and pay-per-ride varieties, as well as a EasyPayXpress MetroCard. The EasyPayXpress and Unlimited MetroCards will not work on the AirTrain, but you can use a pay-per-ride MetroCard for both the AirTrain and the subway.
