Hi, I'm familiar with how to get to LGA or JFK from Connecticut, but I'm unclear about how to do it out to EWR. Yes, I know I can take Amtrak, but the times don't work with my flights, and it's too expensive. I've looked into long term parking (i'm taking a 3 day trip) at EWR, but it's either pricey (over $60, which i had hoped not to spend) or has a bad reputation (fly2go, which is $30)... I don't understand how AirTrainNewark works (i only understand AirTrainJFK), nor NJTrainsit. I could take Metro-North to Manhattan and then take a shuttle from there, but I'm looking for my cheapest route possible round trip... bearing in mind that if I take a train from CT, I want a place to park for free if possible at the station, lol...

Can anyone help this cheapskate out?? Thank you!!
