At new Terminal A this means the bus has to take a different roadway path from those vehicles going to the nearest curb. Unfortunately this path also has at least three traffic signals that a private car would avoid.
LAX redesigned their curbs so public transit is on the inside and gets priority, while congestion-causing private cars get pushed further out.
PANY seems to go out of their way to make public transit the worse option.
Did you notice of the NJT bus stops were well marked? In the old Terminal A, the signs pointed the wrong way.
Incidentally, for those of use who use Go28 bus, to downtown Newark, Newark Broad Street Station, and Bloomfield, NJT just cut frequency from every 30 minutes on a clockface to an irregular 40 minute schedule to account for the new terminal loop/delay.
