    AirTran terminal to C
    Alan R.

    Quick and easy access to other terminals... bummer to have to go thru security again Transition to NYC is pretty bad.. not well designed

    This is a great way to connect between terminals at EWR. Newark is one of the few aiports where the three main terminals are each independent stand alone buildings, so to from from like gate A1 to C1, the best way is to take the AirTrain. It's quick and easy. It's free and all you need to do is to keep an eye for the signs....some of them are not very clear nor big, so keep your eyes open or ask someone. The train itself is not vey big, but they do run often.

    The AirTrain is part of the airport system and it connect the NJ Transit to the Newart Airport. If you are going to the airport by NJ Transit, there is an extra cost to it so make sure you tell the ticket attendant that you are going to the airport. The ride was very short and the AirTrain stops at every terminal and at the parking garage as well for those who need to go and retrieve their car. Only one thing is that the AirTrain is very small and you might need to wait before you are able to get on. I say for each train it can fit about 10 people standing and sitting max along with luggages.

    I try to avoid using Newark, NJ airport, but sometimes have to as most flights from San Jose to the New York city area are to Newark, NJ. Much easier getting from JFK to midtown Manhattan, as you just use the JFK airtrain and the NYC subway. Using Uber to go from NYC to Newark, NJ is extremely costly-about $90 during the middle of a Sunday afternoon. $10 surcharges for traveling in the Lincoln tunnel, and $25? surcharge for a New York ride share/taxi dropping off passengers at Newark airport. Wife and I used the air train from Newark airport to New York's Penn Central Station once in our last trip here in September. Traveling on the Newark air train is free, compared to $5 per person on the JFK airtrain. It's pretty straightforward given the map diagrams on the light rail cars. The light rail cars are clean and the plastic seats vandal proof. Limited seating, with most people standing. We just follow the signs pointing to trains to New York. We purchase two senior tickets, at $9 each, compared to $13 for people under 65 years of age, at the ticket machines. Expensive paying $13 for a 17 mile trip. An Uber trip from Newark to NYC is around $45, so if you have only 1 or 2 people in your party, it's definitely worth considering going by train, as long as you are traveling light with only carry on luggage. The train to New York at the end of the line Newark air train station is above ground. No signage as to what train goes where, so we followed the crowd. Waited half an hour until the train came on a different track, but fortunately all we had to do was cross over to the other side of the waiting platform. Double decker train, clean, modern, even windows shiny. Don't remember any major stops in between Newark airport and Penn Central. Most of the trip above ground, through the swamp lands of Northern New Jersey, past the New York Giants stadium. You know you're about to arrive at Penn Central as the train goes underground and then into a very darkened maze of tracks. Everyone gets off here, as it is the end of the line. After this, we get off the train, walk a quarter mile and catch the subway for $2.75 each to our timeshare condo at West 57 by Hilton. This was in September. The coronavirus pandemic has changed everything. Everyone who can do so is fleeing the big Apple, spreading the virus to Bergen county New Jersey, and Long Island. Nobody in their right mind is flying into New York City, except desperately needed emergency room doctors and nurses. Can't say enough about the dedication of these medical personnel risking their lives, trying to stem this pandemic.

    Wagged her fingers at customers.

    Pointed finger at customers. Not great customer service. Line was disorganized. Instructions unclear.

    Fast service to get to your gate when your hotel shuttle drop you off. It was empty for us but if there are many travelers it can be a zoo that might be why the rating is 2.5 stars.

    Flew in from Ft Lauderdale to Newark to catch a flight to Lisbon. Arrived at terminal A and needed to go to terminal C. Clearly marked and easy to find, very efficient.

    The Air Train is great. This was the first time using it and it worked well. We called the hotel to send their shuttle to pick us up and bring us to our vehicle. I called them while in the terminal and by the time I made it to the Air Train and over to P4 it only took the shuttle about 5 minutes to get there. The train and station were safe. I will definitely use it the next time I travel out of Newark again.

    Alright Airtrain. Though each cars are quite small and not so great for social distancing during covid times. It would be better if it was setup to be the same as JFK Airtrain that only consists of two cars and each car has plenty of space to sit, stand, and maintain social distancing. This Airtrain is quite disappointing IMO...

    Completely unreliable. The trains are over crowded and show up sporadically. Never take if you can help it.

Straightforward getting on and coming off at the station, though late-night coming back they close some of the doors and you end up taking an elevator down with some of the heavier luggage. Food on the trains is limited - Acela had a train car that was some sandwiches, light snacks, and airport prices. It is nice to walk around, bathroom was pretty clean (and big in the car), the open door was a little noisy on the train trip back (regular not Acela), and the spacing for seats with a table was too crowded for leg space. Footsie is an understatement there. Get regular seats and just use the back of the seat unless you're a family of four.

Coach seating was much roomier than I thought it would be. You've got an adjustable foot ledge, a fold up table, and nearby electrical sockets. I didn't know what to expect from the cafe car. Amtrak offers a variety of menu items. I got a spicy chicken banh mi and a diet soda. I ate at one of the dining booths and looked out the window at the moving views. In D.C. the train switches from electricity to diesel, so for about 30 minutes the conductors turn off all the lights and everything - cafe cart, bathrooms, etc. are closed. You can step out of the car to stretch your legs, but most people in my car stayed inside. Also, there was an hour when the cafe was closed because that's when all Amtrak employees can take their break. I didn't have any checked baggage, so I put my carry-ons on the above head storage. Easy. Overall, the Amtrak ride was a good experience and I would do it again.

They handled our pickup from LGA to our Midtown hotel and later our return trip back to the airport, and both rides were flawless. This was truly 5-star service and one part of the trip I didn't have to worry about at all. The vehicles were clean and comfortable, communication was clear, and everything ran exactly on time. It was worth every penny compared to mass transit or other ride services. What really set them apart was their customer service. When we were dropped off at the airport, my son accidentally left his phone in the car. Umar went out of his way to drive all the way back around and personally return the phone to us--no hesitation, no attitude, just genuine care and professionalism. I can't recommend Precision NY Chauffeur Service enough. If you want reliable, stress-free transportation in NYC, this is the company to use.
