Answer :

The shuttle will get you to Manhattan. You have to get a ticket at the public transport place down a flight at JFK. I think the cost is about $26.00--half of the cost of a taxi. Sometimes you can hook up with others going to where you want and share a cab as well. Of course, never go on unsolicited cabs.
