There is also frequent limousine and shuttle service from major airports. Airport access is easier from La Guardia - take the M60 bus to Harlem-125th Street Station, and take the Metro North train to New Haven. From JFK, passengers must take subway to Grand Central Station, or take the NYC airporter shuttle to Grand Central. See details at MTA.

There is a taxi stand in front of the New Haven station, and it would be less than a 10 minute ride to campus.
