BTW the actual cheapest way to get from Philly to Newark airport is by getting a codeshared Amtrak ticket United sells by setting your origin to Philadelphia 30th St Station when you buy your plane ticket. The total cost for the combined plane+train ticket is usually less than just the plane ticket meaning the Amtrak journey would cost you around negative $50. It also includes the AirTrain ticket.
Sadly I've looked at the United website and I don't think they're running the codeshare anymore! I can't seem to be able to get 30th Street in the departure field.
@@MilesinTransit The codeshare agreement was discontinued in late 2020 or early 2021 from what I can gather.
What also sucks about the end of the partnership is Amtrak Select Plus and above no longer have United Club access, which was honestly a really sweet perk
Also PATCO from the other side of Philly to Camden to the River Line Light Rail to NJT Rail is another way. Get off at Newark Penn Station and take the 62 bus to the airport

Fun fact: before the River LINE branding, it was called the Southern New Jersey Light Rail Transit System when it debuted, or SNJLRTS, which is just so darn fun to say.
I didn't know know that
Miles is chaotic good personified.
This is such a compliment - or at least I take it as one. Thank you!
Technically the cheapest way is to stand on Market Street and hold up a sign saying "Newark Airport?"
Tectonically, it's actually not
It would be faster to walk ...
4:47 The disappearance of those flip boards is a tragedy.
Especially the one at 30th Street!
You know Miles is a man of culture when he vibes to Latin music! That song at 9:25 is called Se Me Nota (Agarrame) by Chimbala and Omega El Fuerte who are both Dominican! Others may mind it when someone blasts music like that, but I don't! Latin music knows how to get you in the groove! I mean when I lived in Jersey City, I always enjoyed it when the jitney drivers had their radio on and amazing merengue music would play. That aside, it's great that there are ordinary buses at EWR for people to take to Newark Penn Station if they didn't want to pay for the AirTrain and would rather take a NJT or PATH train at Newark Penn. And the fact that River LINE is so cheap to go between Trenton and Camden is a steal!
Fun fact, contrary to popular belief, Elizabeth is NOT named after Queen Elizabeth I! Originally it was named Elizabethtown after the wife of Sir George Carteret, one of the two original Proprietors of the colony of New Jersey! Because it was once the capital of NJ, it was constantly attacked during the American Revolution, thus there is a lot of memorials and monuments there for it! I did a ten-mile hike called the Victory Trail between there and Springfield with a scout troop that follows the route British and Hessian troops took to reach Washington's army and learned a lot of interesting stuff!
"H I M O M"
"hello son"
perfect way to start a perfect video lmao
-Also, I was thinking it was gonna be some obscure local RTA busses that run once a week or something... but that might be a little tough with like 4 suitcases XD-
Oh, I stand corrected.
Of course he did...
*OF COURSE HE DID.*
Lolllllll
Nu'erk, NJ, or New-Ark, DE
I love explaining the difference to visitors, especially if they're not native English speakers.
Today I learned Trenton still has its Solari board and NJ's jaywalking fine is $54
i love the 'amtak ticket'
You should have paid for a transfer from the 62 to the Hamilton-Trenton bus, then I think they allow for a rail transfer to the river line.
I don't think there's a special rail transfer...when I did a trip from Port Jervis to Atlantic City in a different video, the machine spat out the River LINE ticket separately with no discount.
@@MilesinTransit I went through and I think it's only 50 cents less, relies on a continuing trip transfer, but I'm probably the one to try that out, because Puget Sound. Also wheelchair user, so fare enforcement is a moot point.
4:48 Awesome sound made by train information board. Reminds me a bit of the one at Penn Station years ago. 👊😊👊
The NJ 62 bus is wonderful for getting to Manhattan, too! Take it to Newark Penn, PATH from there, and then MTA subway to all points in NYC from the Oculus!
Often faster than the Airtrain route, and with lower variance late at night. Particularly if you're headed to Brooklyn.
Awesome video, Miles! Thanks!

You deserve more subscribers. Ace channel Miles.
Thank you so much!
That actually your mom? Or am I missing a joke here?.. seems like I might be missing a joke here.. She is so cool!
It's his girlfriend lol
Yeah, she's my girlfriend! Someone left a comment asking if she was my mom and we thought it was funny and run with it for videos.
@@MilesinTransit Ah, and coincidentally I just had the joke explained to me at the end of "I was the very first passenger on the MBTA's new bus route"
As someone who joined on after Alana(sp?) Came on the scene this was confusing
5 cents used to be the standard transit fare!
Have you considered a running "lanternflies killed" counter
Oooooh, now that I'm back in Philly I SHOULD have one. That's a great idea!
Of course the end vestibule doors on the NJT train were either broken or the conductor forgot to turn them on.
Me, I wanna see the other end of this trip - leaving Heathrow jetlagged and sleep deprived and getting on the Piccadilly Line and then transferring to a London Bus. Miles, make it happen!
As a 72 year old midwesterner I hate to say it but I am addicted to Myles in Transit!!!
Another epic adventure! Love the opening!
The Philadelphia Solari board went to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania
Y'all's eyes are very beautiful. Not that I can see much of anything else 🤣
hi jules i know you from the great race to chealsea
A cheaper way would be to go past Newark airport to Newark Penn and you save $8 and just take the bus from Newark Penn to Newark for $1.6
Might as well get off at Elizabeth and get the bus from there, then! You would save on the rail fare - that's what I did coming back.
If I knew you were in my neighborhood (West Philly) I would have said hello.
Also I just happened to be at 30th street on the last day of the "flippy"
I saw the flippy in action many times. I was sad when it was taken out.
4:47 why does this look so satisfying
Because it is!
My DSLR was stolen from my bag somewhere between Philadephia and Brussels doing this exact trip back in 2007.
Oof, I'm so sorry!
I’m planning a crazy trip similar to yours miles
LaGuardia airport to Philadelphia airport the cheap way
Q70 selectbus LGA TO Jackson heights
E train to World Trade Center
Path train to Newark penn station
New Jersey transit NEC to Hamilton
New Jersey transit route 608 to Trenton
River line to Camden
Patco to 8th and market
MFL to 30th St. stations
R1 to PHL airport
Taking the MFL to 69th and catching a 108 or an MFL to 15th then a BSL to Snyder and catching a 37 is cheaper than the R1 I think.
Yeah, @@blackman7437 is right - they gouge the prices on the Airport Line so it’s a lot cheaper to take a bus!
11:17 i thought that was only a philly thing 😂
It's kind of an everywhere thing! As long as the back door isn't button operated you'll hear people say it.
Have said it many times in NYC/Brooklyn
I've heard that there's a weird bus for Chinese people for super cheap from 9th and Washington to EWR?
I hear it's for Chinese people and only runs on Sundays, and it's timed for Air China. $10. Not sure though.
Oh interesting! I can't seem to find anything about it online, but I also wouldn't be surprised if there was no information online.
@@MilesinTransit Yeah this is from a friend of a friend, I would check Facebook if I were you. Really not sure though, and I probably have details wrong.
@@MilesinTransit Okay so I looked and I couldn't find anything. But couldn't you just take Megabus from Elizabeth for $1 to Philly in addition to the NJTransit bus from the airport, and then be in university city?
@@tealmer3528 I guess if you wanted to be pedantic, you could take Megabus to New York for $3.50 ($1 plus the service fee; you can't take it anywhere in New Jersey from Philly), then PATH to Newark for $2.75, then the 62 for $1.60. That hinges on being able to book pretty far in advance, but if you're getting a flight, you very well might have that freedom.
Just look up [name of city] Chinatown bus and you’ll find it
Mama is a cutie 😊
The concept of coordination is so hard for these Agencies :/
Do you know there’s an app to track the location of lantern bugs to report them to the state (before you kill them)?
12:20 what?! That’s insane!
…& nice to see you back in Philly!
And he be vibing to the Dominican music
when will the great race to Franklin Park part 2 be released?
Not sure yet - definitely before the end of October, for a very rough estimate.
I would of ran to when I got off at the Camden Station LOL!!!!!
I have a challenge for you miles. Ride valley metro 685 in Phoenix. 103 miles long and 3 hours
Better yet, take the 486 from Tucson and connect to the overnight 685 in Ajo!
I used to take the 317 for a short ~20 minute ride from my house to community college
Wow- one year ago you only had less than 1000 subscribers!
It's insane how much the channel has grown!!
What, they actually run a BUS to an IKEA store?
Well according to RUclips you have 2.81k subscribers. (I had to remember if I'd subscribed).🤔 I've been subscribed awhile.
Yes, and I did the livestream!

1:38 Respectfully, I agree anything Pitt is awful
Let's go cheaper 62 to Elizabeth the 48 to Woodbridge Center Mall the 810 bus to New Brunswick. Train to Trenton. River Line then Patco. I think you can do better than $18.00.
Taking additional NJT buses doesn't make the trip cheaper because the cost of the buses is more than the money you're saving by taking the train for a shorter distance. I've been told that there are a couple of rush hour only private buses that only cost a dollar, though - those would save money on the trip, they're just super limited!
@@MilesinTransit fair enough. Fare structure years ago may have supported that idea. ( I remember Newark Penn Station to Woodbridge or Metro Park on the train was 3.60 vs. 2.30 on the bus, but that was the late 1990s.)
Great videos miles!!! Let's collab
This time you've gone too far Miles Taylor!
I been on a 62 that goes via Ikea
So why exactly are you flying out of EWR from Philly?
Because flights out of New York are often cheaper than flights out of Philly!
@@MilesinTransit Ah that makes sense, btw what's that speedometer app that you and your friends always use, I can't find it
If you're in Philly why wouldn't you just fly out of the Philly airport?
Flights are often cheaper out of New York.
@@MilesinTransit Okay, I thought most airlines would have the same rates at all of the airports for similar lengths of flight.
@@joemckim1183 American Airlines has a monopoly on nonstop flights out of Philadelphia so prices are very expensive compared to flights out of New York, where there's a ton of competition.
It would have been good if you had shown where someone can buy a ticket at the Trenton station, just in case they didn't plan ahead. You should have told where you got off to catch that monorail to the airport and shown how you got there. Was any walking required? Was it at the same station? How did you connected to it? Was it right where you got off from the NJ train? What? Spinning the camera around does not help. How much time did it take for your cheaper trip?
Next time I'll do it as one long, unedited shot, so that none of these granular details are omitted from the video
My moral is ... never fly united...
Where is your mom going for 4 months and why?!
she is trying to get away from people asking unreasonable questions
