About the course
What you'll learn
- Why Newark's position in New Jersey adds specific costs and complications to every car-based transport option — including the tolls, state surcharges, and tunnel bottleneck that make EWR car journeys consistently more expensive than equivalent journeys from JFK
- How the AirTrain EWR and NJ Transit combination works step by step — from your terminal to New York Penn Station — including the exact fare, where to buy your ticket, and why OMNY does not work for NJ Transit
- Why the NJ Transit train is immune to the Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel congestion that can add 30–45 minutes to any car journey during peak hours
- How Amtrak differs from NJ Transit at Newark Airport station — when the speed premium is worth paying and when it is not
- What Uber and Lyft cost from EWR to Manhattan in normal conditions, how surge pricing behaves at this airport specifically, and when a New Jersey cab is the better metered option
- Where Penn Station is and what subway connections it offers for reaching your final destination from Midtown West
- How to download and use the NJ Transit app before departure to buy your train ticket in advance and avoid the station machine queues on arrival
- How the three New York area airports compare on transit access — the honest head-to-head between JFK, LGA, and EWR that helps you choose the right airport when you have flexibility
