Are there MetroCard vending machines inside JFK? If not, are there stores inside JFK that sell MetroCards? I want to take the local bus Q6 then transfer to another bus. Does anyone know: (1) whether it is a long walk from the JFK airport to the Q6 bus stop on North Boundary Rd? (2) whether you can get a bus-to-bus transfer if you pay by coins, or are transfers only given with the MetroCards? Thanks!

My friend, it will be a lot better if you take the Airtrain from the terminal to Jamaica Station. Once there, you can purchase a $7 MetroCard from the MetroCard Vending Machines and pay the $5 fee to exit the Airtrain system.
From Jamaica Station, you can then take the Q6 local bus southbound to you final destination. The fare on the bus is $2 and you can use the same MetroCard you use on the Airtrain on the city bus.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck
