Where does Amtrak publish that interesting statistic? I remember when Acela used to stop at the EWR train station, right across from the "Air Train" to EWR itself. But, not enough people must have made that connection, for Acela hasn't stopped at EWR in a decade or more.... people who want to take Amtrak to EWR have to get off at Newark, and connect there to Path, then to the Air Train. Not exactly encouraging for intermodal transportation.
