NJDavid... I guess air travel's "Best kept
secret" (my impression of EWR) is not a secret anyore! I think the combination of
CO's big expansion, more overseas flights and folks like me who don't like to go to NYC to fly is making EWR very very busy. I prefer EWR and will only fly EWR (even if it means connecting at IAD or ORD or elsewhere!)

IT has the Airlink bus that takes you to Penn Station for connecting trains to NYC and elsewhere. You can also take GreyLine shuttles to Midtown Manhattan.

A commuter railroad to Newark would be ideal.

Maybe a fourth terminal will be needed in teh future. They could built it near the original terminal (I see using this one for commuter flights and flights under 500 miles.)

I have not experienced any more delays in takeoffs or landings recently at EWR. I have seen more people.

And this is going to sound crazy... but why do I have a feeling that UA is going to make EWR a mini hub soon. It's taking up a good chunk of Terminal A already.

I can tell EWR is getting mroe flights. My
plates and paintings on my walls and my cats
are shaking more as more planes fly over my apartmenthouse! RRUURR RRUURR!! There's goes another one now! CATMAN
