Here's what I need to endure to use the new EWR monorail:

1. Drive from home to a rail station on the New Jersey Transit mainline or Bergen line.

2. Take this commuter train to Hoboken (runs mainly during rush hours).

3. Take PATH (change of trains in Jersey City) to Newark's Penn Station.

4. Take the new monorail from Penn Station to Newark International Airport.

5. Transfer from this monorail to the inter-terminal monorail for delivery to my terminal.

Estimated elapsed time, including waiting: 2 hours.

Actual elapsed time to drive: 35 minutes.

Comparative costs: about the same.

Ah, the efficiency of mass transportation!

FTers, please take the new monorail and free up another parking space at EWR for my car! Thanks.
