Getting from Newark Airport (EWR) to New York City

Four main options:

1. AirTrain + NJ Transit + Subway: AirTrain to Newark Liberty Airport Station → NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line to New York Penn Station (≈30 min) → subway/bus to final destination. Total ~45–60 min, $15–$20.
2. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft): Pickup at designated areas; 30–60 min depending on traffic; $50–$100+.
3. Taxi: Flat‑rate to Manhattan (~$70–$85 plus tolls/tip); queue at taxi stands.
4. Rental Car: Counters at Station P3; drive via NJ Turnpike or I‑78 to Lincoln/Holland Tunnel.

Option 1 is usually cheapest and most predictable; rideshare/taxi offer door‑to‑door convenience.
