I’m sure your experience was true at some point, but in my most recent experience with taxis at JFK, I would never go back to ordering Ubers or Lyfts. There’s a long line of taxis waiting, so there’s never a need to wait for a driver. They all have ample space for luggage, something I’ve had trouble with when using ride-share apps before. They had a flat price to go into Manhattan—around $70 if i recall correctly, whereas an Uber or Lyft at that time was $100+ for an XL. Surge pricing goes crazy.
