My days of flying into and from EWR are done.

Particularly now that JFK is so easy to get to because of the Long Island Rail Road serving Grand Central.
The EWR AirTrain is not the only way to get to/from Terminal A by public transportation. The NJTransit Route 62 bus connects Newark Penn Station to the EWR terminals. Terminal A is the bus' first stop at the airport. Scheduled travel time from Newark Penn Station to Terminal A is generally 20-24 minutes, depending on time of day. Adult fare is $1.60; 75˘ for those 62 or older.
