Anyone who thinks the NYC subways are scary does not ride the NYC subways. Or perhaps hasn't since the 1980s (and even then it wasn't as bad as people claimed).

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

As tourists my wife and I ride the subway all the time. They're full of visitors and people just trying to live their lives in a big city. My only gripe might be that getting to and from JFK via public transportation isn't very straightforward.

It's way more straightforward than it used to be! The JFK Airtrain only opened in 2003 and is so much better than old ways of getting there, but, yeah, if you don't know where you're going, it can be a bit confusing.
