Yes, NYC is as bad as everybody says. The AIP if passed (likely) will make the sting of paying for transportation less, but NYC still sucks unless you live there.
Complaining that the ground transportation isn’t actually in a limousine has to be one of the most “pilot” gripes out there.
I enjoyed my time in NYC, but I had a good crash pad. I always felt comfortable in the Suburbans or Sprinter vans that did the “limo” work. There are some sketchy cab companies out there to watch out for if you’re paying on your own dime. I sometimes took the subway in those cases. Never had an issue.
If your trip ends with a ground DH to the other co-terminal you can convert that “limo” into an alternate deadhead (positive space seat home).
