The Airtrain is the fastest option, taking about 22 minutes from the Domestic Terminal to Central Station, with services every 15 minutes during peak and every 30 minutes off-peak, though it costs $19.80 one way and is not subsidized by the government. Taxis and ride shares are available but subject to traffic, while car rentals offer flexibility; however, the Airtrain is the most-used dedicated airport link, carrying close to two million passengers annually.
