But the JFK 10-trip discount is much better: a 10-trip JFK AirTrain metrocard is still only $25 (I think they keep forgetting to raise it), representing a $61.50 discount, while the 10-trip EWR NJT ticket is only a $37 discount.
What is the expiration of the 10-trip NJT ticket? I've never purchased one but the NJT site says "valid until used" which sounds like an unlimited expiration date?
The JFK Airtrain 10-trip pack expires in 30 days now which would rarely be cost effective for me. I'd rather take a smaller discount that is usable because of a more reasonable expiration timeframe than what the PA has done to the JFK Airtrain 10-trip.
