| I have taken the NJ Transit train from Newark airport (although not since the pandemic so things might have changed), and it was pretty smooth and reliable. You'll definitely make it. That being said, it takes a lot longer than you think it would, because you have to get from your gate to the Airtrain station (which could be 20-30 minutes in itself if you are at a far gate in Terminal A), then you have to wait for the Airtrain, then you have to take the Airtrain, then you have to go to the NJ Transit platform and wait for the NJ Transit train, then take the train to Penn Station. None of the steps except the NJ Transit ride are that long but it adds up. It's probably not more than 90 minutes or so total in the worst case scenario at the time of day you are going, so no worries if you've got 3 hours, but it's longer than you might think. In terms of the tickets, there is no additional fee to use the Airtrain and I believe there is no additional ticket, but as msailing said, you need your NJ Transit ticket to get through the gates for the second train whether coming or going. |
