The original name of "Terminal One" was abandoned and it is now officially called Terminal A
There is a GS/1K/Polaris check-in lobby on the left side of the terminal as you face the TSA security lines. There is a PreCheck shortcut from this lobby if the left PreCheck lanes are open.
The Premier Access desks are right in front of the security lines. TSA PreCheck Touchless and CLEAR are also available.
The shuttle from C to A leaves from C71 and arrives near A27/A28. The opposite for reverse. The bus ride takes 15-25 minutes, depends on whether an interim stop is needed at Terminal B and/or traffic control.

UA's New EWR Terminal A: Security, How to get to, facilities, UC opened 28 June 2023
About – New Terminal A Redevelopment – Newark Liberty International Airport (ewrredevelopment.com)
Still on target for a 2022 opening
They say they are going to use some form of flexible gate assignments where multiple airlines may use the same gate

Looking forward to the new terminal. Have been watching the speedy progress over the past year or so especially when flying B6.
That said, I hope it doesn't pull a LGA. As impressive as the new LGA terminal is, the new terminal has opened in phases, which makes sense, but holy cow, there are a lot of walking. I don't mind walking, and I am a fast walker, but I am so used to getting to the airport last minute...much easier with the compactness of EWR Terminal C, or existing Terminal A or B.

I am little confused by the title; have they renamed it again from "Terminal 1" back to "New Terminal A"?
(We had an older thread about this new EWR terminal somewhere, but I can't find it now....)

Once old terminal A is demolished I expect they will ease it to simply Terminal A.

Making a tight connection from old A to C was not good. The time I ran from A to C on bus ran to my gate like C122 for SJU and door closed 8 minutes before departure.
I asked the agent don’t you look for connections they don’t do that anymore. Had to get to JFK at my own expense and took DL to SJU.
Was in DFW a few weeks ago saw them close the door 10 minutes before departure people who were trying to get on were out of luck.

Yep, I don't think such a thing is even under remote consideration. A C-A airside walkway would probably be over a mile long. The current central terminal layout is much more conducive to a walkway, and even that was never developed.

I have done that walk on the land side and I have taken the bus. Both worked and both were less than ideal.

Unfortunate to hear and different from what I heard earlier this month.
JetBlue is now using 4 PANYNJ common-use gates previously allocated to United on A-2, and perhaps the volume of passengers in the satellite (plus reduced # departures until November at least) doesn't justify it. By the time EWR is back at full schedule, the opening of the new Terminal A (with a United Club) will be imminent.

Yes, there will be a UC there but details on it are limited. No doubt it will be a large lounge. UA will have about a dozen mainline gates at the beginning.

[Is that dead due to COVID or have I just been an unlucky 1K this year?]The rest of the time the transfer has been no more miserable than the terminal. I can live with the transfer as long as the bus station atmosphere of A is no more. I just hope the replacement looks/works nothing like the hell that is the new UAX gates at IAH. I like a lot of things about Europe but the whole "We don't let you go anywhere near your gate until moments before boarding" concept is supremely irritating.
