Anyone know? Cab fare from JFK to 50 Wall St?

[GTaudiophile]

I have to be at a meeting there tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM I leave from the Washington National airport at 6:00 AM, landing at around 7:15 AM. How much should I bring for cab fare?

probably around $50, no more than $80 because I've gone JFK to just across the tunnel in NJ for $80.

Cab fare from JFK is a flat rate of $45 plus tolls. I can't remember what tolls you'll need on that route, so someone from NYC will have to help you out there.

~$35 I payed from JFK to around there, but that was in 01.

I am estimating $55 but at 8:00 AM in the morning with rush hour...

No tolls if you opt for the Bklyn Bridge. You can take the battery tunnel to get to Wall Street faster (5-15 minutes depending on traffic) for $3.50.

AirTrain + "A" subway line, $7 FTW. One hour and 6 minutes, four minutes longer than the one hour and two minutes by taxi (according to HopStop.com 8AM tomorrow). Before you say "ewwwwwsubwaydirtyhomeless", grow-up. Your call, $45 or $7.

If he has a meeting on Wall Street, I'd hope he is not paying the fare. Also, the $45 does not include tip.

Due to the time constraints of the post (90 minutes), the writer suggested a cab. The OP has enough time to take the subway, but there's the possibility of getting lost.

over a certain # of miles, it'll be a flat fare i think. probably $40ish

If you take an official cabs the fare from JFK to Manhattan is flat and is printed on the inside of the cab. 4-5 years ago it used to be $35 + tip - might be higher now.

JFK - Manhattan is standard $45 fare.
Does not include tolls or tips.
Does not matter where in Manhattan.

$45 flat rate + tips/toll

If you want a faster & cheaper commute, hop onto the Air Train and then take the A express train into the city.
