    The schedule is not accurate and runs almost every 40min. It never runs according to the times reported on map apps.

    This is main hub for the LIRR and you can pretty much catch any line on the LIRR. Theres a huge…read morecatwalk that connects all of the tracks so you can wait in that area until you know which track your train is on. There are monitors as well. The platforms having indoor areas which are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. You can also connect to the subway, Air Train and buses to all over Queens from here as well.

    I am no stranger to the New York City area as I have visited here several times in the past…read more However, this was my first time at the "Jamaica LIRR (Long Island Railroad) Station". Located roughly 4 miles north of John F. Kennedy International Airport and in the heart of Queens, this is one of the major transfer points to get into through the city and the neighboring boroughs. After a long (5+ hour) flight into JFK Airport, I took the Jamaica AirTrain (from JFK to the LIRR Station). And this was around 11:30pm Eastern Time. However, once we arrived at the station, I used the MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority) app that told us exactly where to go. There were even a couple of employees that told us how the payment system works (which was $10 per person as of October 2025). Once we actually arrived to the Jamaica LIRR Station, I must say that this place has a very stark uninviting look to it. Definitely one that I would recommend avoiding during the wee hours of the night. However, there were other "tourists" waiting to connect to Penn Station which all New Yorkers know is in the heart of Manhattan. I only know this since they had several carry-on pieces of luggage as well. The reason for the three stars? This station wreaked of urine and sweat. And if that's not enough, I saw a gentleman urinating directly on the tracks. But the icing on the cake was seeing a big rat crawling on the side of the tracks. Seeing this may make your stomach turn upside down but this is a big metropolitan city and you must expect the unexpected. I am also from a big city (San Francisco) so witnessing this did not gross me out that much. All in all, the "Jamaica LIRR Station" leaves a lot to be desired. But I highly recommend coming here during the commute times or at least before 10:00pm when the vast majority of the general public is already at their destinations. However, the ticket information employee was helpful as well a local that told us exactly which train to take to get to Manhattan. With that said and done, I am giving this subway station just an average three stars.

    This particular bus station is really good if you travel from jamaica to south Nassau longiland,…read morethe N4 bus is located right there,It will take you right out there. Especially if you are going to south Nassau hospital, it let's you off right across the street from the hospital.

    This bus terminal connects you to the train station where you can catch the E train on the upper…read morelevel, the J train serves the lower level (very infrequently) & the Z train serves the lower level during rush hour only (I've yet to see this train & I've been using public transportation for over 10 + years). Where does the Z even go? Who knows because I surely don't. This bus terminal has elevators & escalators for anyone that has a disability, carrying luggage or has a stroller in tow. The buses at this terminal consist of the: Q4, Q5, Q6, Q8, Q9 Q20A, Q20B, Q24 Q25 Q30 Q31, Q34, Q41, Q42, Q44, Q54, Q56, Q65, Q83, Q84, Q85, Q110, Q111, Q112, Q113 & the N4. The Q5 is the worst bus to catch. It runs infrequently leaving you waiting at the terminal trying to figure why they've posted a bus schedule if the bus drivers do not adhere to it. The lines are super long so try to be the first 5 people waiting for the bus (& that's for all of the buses at this station especially the Q5 local/limited & the Q85 local/limited). Be careful because if you're in the front of the line you'll see people hanging around to try to blend in to cut in front of you. Although they see a line (long or short) they'll cut just because they are rude with no manners. The elderly ain't no better!!! They think they have the right a way because they're old. Honestly, I could care less. You're suppose to get wiser & be mature as you age. These fools will walk with a cane & then fold it up & run for the bus. They'll even catch an attitude with you if you don't let them cut in front of you. Don't get me wrong if you ask politely I'll let you cut but if you demand it you'll be waiting behind me. Let the person after me allow you to skip.

I'm not too knowledgeable on this system but I tapped my credit or debit card and paid the fare, a transfer is added on for a one way continuous ride. I think you can pay with your phone as well. Back in the days, in my youth, I could travel underground blindfolded nowadays , assistance with navigating is needed. Heck do you know how long I've been above ground or driving. Try 1993 when I moved out of NYC. When I came back a decade later I was driving. So I looked around and saw a whole heap of stairs and an escalater coming up. "Say my man, is there an elevator." I had to use my street vernacular, I still got it! He directed me across the street. I'm now in the train station , I confidently hopped on the first escalator, I went down to the wrong level and had to come back up to the second level. Of course asking for assistance. Okay, we're on the train and the train has left the station, NEXT! Bryant Park, my stop. Inspire more,Yelp more!

Kennedy International Airport, but the commute connected me to downtown Manhattan itself which was a relief and money saver from catching a Lyft. If you are looking for an easy way to get around New York, it is a convenient subway station with several stops in between. Located in Jamaica, Queens New York, it was Google Maps that guided me from MTA Jamaica Center - Parsons/ Archer Subway on my transit to Manhattan. And later transit from Manhattan where I was able to connect to AirTrain JFK, and John F. Kennedy International Airport. My pleasant experiences with MTA Jamaica Center - Parsons/ Archer Subway Station plays a key part in my anticipation to return to New York now that I have an idea how to navigate. ~Have courage. Be Kind. ~ Thomas G
