NEW YORK NEWARK AIRPORT (EWR) |
| Newark Liberty Airport (15 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan, in New Jersey) is served by the following ground transportation options: A - train B - local bus C - shared ride van D - taxi E - limousine F - helicopter G - rental car |
| Terminal information The airport has three passenger terminals (A, B, C.) |
| Terminal passenger links Note that Newark has a 24 hour monorail system, called AirTrain Newark, that connects the three terminals with the Newark Liberty Airport Rail Link Station for connection to Amtrak and New Jersey transit services. Passengers can use this connection to travel from Newark to any station along New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor or New Jersey Coast Line, including regional transit hubs such as New York City's Penn Station. The AirTrain has three major stations within the airport, one for each main terminal (A, B, and C). These stations sit on top of the terminal buildings. There are four other stations (P1, P2, P3, and P4) for the parking lots and rental car facilities plus an eighth at the Northeast Corridor. Free shuttle buses transport passengers to/from the economy parking lot, P6. Note that the monorail is free for use between the terminals and parking lots, but passengers wishing to exit or enter the Rail Link station must pay a $5.50 fee. NJ Transit tickets to or from the Rail Link station (indicated by ** EWR ** on the tickets) that are sold at ticket windows and vending machines automatically include the $5.50 fee. |
| A: New Jersey Transit Take the AirTrain to Newark Liberty Airport Rail Link Station. From here Penn Station in Manhattan (7th Avenue at 34th Street) is a 25-minute, three-station trip via the New Jersey Transit local trains and a 22-minute, two-station trip via NJ Transit express trains and Amtrak trains. Confusingly, the Newark city stop is also called "Penn Station”, so watch out for this. For passengers coming from the airport, there is a staffed ticket counter for Amtrak service. Although there are NJ Transit staff on site, passengers must use ticket vending machines for the NJ Transit service. Note that the Amtrak trains will be quite a bit more expensive. @ Summer 2009 a NJ Transit fare to New York Penn Station is $15 (including the $5.50 AirTrain fee.) |
