Newark Liberty International Airport Ground Transportation
AirTrain: A monorail system, AirTrain Newark, connects the terminals with the Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Link Station for connection
to Amtrak and New Jersey Transit service. Passengers can use this connection to travel from EWR to any station along New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor
or North Jersey Coast Line, including regional transit hubs such as New York City's Penn Station.
Continental Airlines uses this rail connection to book passengers through Newark to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Wilmington
Station in Wilmington, Delaware, Penn Station in New York City, Stamford Station in Stamford, Connecticut, and Union Station in New Haven, Connecticut.
The monorail is free for use between all stations, 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. Tickets purchased on a train will not allow passengers to enter the Rail Link station; they will have to pay the fee at the station.
Other connections: Numerous bus services run between Newark Liberty and nearby population centers, including New Jersey Transit, Airporter,
and Olympia Trails. Express buses to Manhattan transit hubs (Grand Central Terminal, Port Authority Bus Terminal, etc.) cost $14 (round trip $25).
There is also bus service to JFK Airport, which costs $24.
The airport is also served by a number of New Jersey Transit buses. Routes 40 and 62 provide local service from downtown Newark, including Newark
Penn Station, at a fare of $1.35, the former from the North Area, and the latter from the passenger terminals. Route 37 provides service to the airport
from Newark and Irvington, and Route 67 provides local service from Lakewood and Toms River.
The New Jersey Turnpike has 2 exits that allow motorists to gain access to Newark Liberty International Airport. Those exits are 13A and 14.
Taxis also operate from the airport at flat rates based on destination. From the City of New York, fares are set by New York City's Taxi and
Limousine Commission. From New York City, the taxi fare shall be the metered rate plus a surcharge of $15.00 plus the cost of round trip tolls. This is
approximately $40 to $75 depending on the exact origin. Newark Liberty is the only exception to the rule that a New York City taxi driver may refuse
to take a passenger to any destination outside the five boroughs.
