Kept missing public transport to New York with an African person (6)
I believe the answer is:
kenyan
'african person' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'kept missing public transport to new york with an' is the wordplay.
'kept missing public transport' becomes 'ke' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to new york' becomes 'ny'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'ke'+'ny'+'an'='KENYAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kenyan that I've seen before include "Native of Nairobi, perhaps" , "Person from Nairobi, say" , "Eg, native of Nairobi" , "from East Africa?" , "Native of Mombasa, perhaps?" .)
