I haven't researched the fares, but taking PATH from Manhattan to Penn. Station Newark and a NJ Transit bus from there to EWR is probably the cheapest way to go. Bus schedules and fares are at http://njtransit.com.
If you want to save some cash here's a tip:
Go to NY Penn Station and buy a NJ Transit ticket to the stop after Newark Airport, either North Elizabeth or Elizabeth. When your train stops at Newark Airport's rail link station simply get off and go to the turnstiles for the Airtrain into the Terminal. There you will see machines where you can pay the $5 Airtrain surcharge.
It's perfectly legit.
NJ Transit fare for NY Penn - Newark Airport rail link station (price for Airtrain included) $15.00
NJ Transit fare from NY Penn - North Elizabeth (stop after the airport) $5.50, plus $5.00 for the Airtrain equals $10.50.
You save yourself $5.00 ($4.50 to be percise). This can only be done on trips to the airport, not from.
Here's NJ Transit's website to help you out.

hi guys myself and my partner are heading to new york from ireland in november and was wondering taxi fare costs from jfk to 65-09 queens blvd woodside ny. 11377.thank you.
p.s or is there a subway ride we could take.![]()
How easy (distance, cost, stress level) is it to get from Laguardia to Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard so that I can take the N or W into Manhattan (Times Square)? (This is around 9.30pm tomorrow night - NY here I come!!)
(And what's the difference between the N and W in the first place?)
This map shows that its a ways out from Laguardia

Should I just get a cab the whole way to Times Square from the airport? What would the difference in price be?
Also coming back, on Sunday around 3pm... same questions apply, only going in the opposite direction.
We booked our trip last minute, have no clue where anything is, and are looking forward to trying to do what we want to do in NYC without a clue of how or where or when to do it. I stumbled across this site yesterday, and intend to spend the rest of the day on here looking for tips and cross referencing them with the map above.
Thanks to everyone already for the info I've already absorbed, and thanks in advance to whoever can help with the question above.
Expect a flurry of other questions throughout the day...![]()
Hello
This is my first post, so take it easy with me.
Going to NYC in November for the first time. Been trawling through the useful threads here and already developing my own list of things to do, eat and see.
My question is, what is the best transport option from Newark airport to grand central terminal in NYC?
Thanks
Andy
Take the Airtrain/New Jersey Transit from your arrival terminal at EWR to Manhattan's Pennsylvania Station. It's a short walk (or, if you have a lot of luggage, cab ride) from there to GCT. Airtrain info is abundently posted at WNY --use the (Google) Custom Search function appearing near the top of most pages here.
If you are making a train connection at Grand Central, leave yourself some time to get from Penn Station to Grand Central. It's a quick taxi ride, but you might spend some time in a line waiting to get said cab.

Hello all
I'm coming to NYC in Feb and wondered what the best way is to get from Newark Airport to Park Lane, Manhattan? I've heard that the cabs from Newark aren't a flat rate so it's easy to get ripped off. Would I be wiser to book one of those shuttle buses?
thanks
