Train From Newark Airport To Manhattan NYC | QUICK GUIDE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2022
- This is a "How to" QUICK GUIDE on getting from the Newark NJ Airport to Manhattan NYC, Penn Station by Train. When researching how to make the trek myself I came across way too many videos on RUclips that were 10, 15, 20 minutes long and who has time to watch all that? So I decided to make a better one for those looking for good information, QUICKLY!
EWR to Manhattan
1. Go to Baggage Claim (if necessary)
2. Go upstairs to Departures Level to find Newark Airtrain Entrance
3. Use NJ Transit Kiosk to purchase NJ Transit tickets to NY Penn Station
4. Go upstairs to board Airtrain
5. Exit Airtrain at the NJ Transit, Newark Airport Liberty Station
6. Follow Signs for Track A to NYC
7. Exit after 3 stops at NY Penn Station
1. If you have baggage to claim the first place you 'll want to head to after exiting your aircraft are the baggage claim carousels downstairs. Follow all yellow baggage claim signs.
2. Next, you're going to head back upstairs on the Departures level to find the Newark Airtrain entrance. Follow all Airtrain signs.
3. Next to the escalators to the Newark Airtrain are ticket kiosks for the NJ Transit Train. You'll need a ticket to get to the NJ Transit platform. Click Language, NY Penn Station, One way or Round Trip, Number of Tickets, and method of payment. $15.25 Adult one-way, $3.50 Child one-way, $11.25 Senior Citizen one-way as of January 2022.
4. Next, you'll take the escalator up to the Airtrain. The Airtrain is free to ride.
5. Exit the Airtrain at the NJ Transit, Newark airport Liberty Station. If you did not purchase a ticket at the airport, you can still buy one at the machines outside the NJ Transit entrances to the platforms. It is recommended to purchase your tickets at the airport, if possible, in order to avoid crowds trying to purchase tickets outside the NJ Transit entrances.
6. Follow all signs for Track A to NYC. Track A always goes to NY.
7. Make sure you exit after 3 stops at NY Penn Station and not at Newark Penn Station, which sounds extremely similar. The stops will be Newark Penn Station, Secaucus, and NY Penn Station. It should take about 20-30 minutes. Hold onto your tickets, as a Conductor will be by to pick them up.

Just realized my flight would arrive to Newark, so I was very nervous about how to get to Manhattan. This was so straightforward, now I’m not afraid anymore!
It’s super easy. You’ll be there in no time. We’re glad it was helpful!
There is another cheaper way but it took longer by but if you’re traveling and you have no rush is funny, the bus will drive across New Jersey
Just booked the flight today for my trip to NYC in July and getting off at Newark airport and out of all the vids I’ve saw on how to get to Penn Station this is by far the best.
Thanks! We actually just booked a short NYC trip as well. Great prices right now, we couldn’t resist. But we’re flying in to Newark again too. Should be a super easy commute to Manhattan. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video, very informative!
Just a Note: Some Trains May bypass the Secaucus Junction Station on weekdays, making the journey only 2 stops.
Thanks! Definitely have to pay attention.
Truly quick with good details and to the point. Excellent!
super helpful. thank you!
Great video! I am landing at EWR for the first time and this video helped a lot!
Very clear and straight to the point .. will be arriving at Newark airport next week .. thank you !!
Thank you so much for posting this! I'll be travelling to New York by myself and I always get so nervous navigating unfamiliar places. This is so helpful.
This is absolutely valuable! Thank you so much for posting these clear and concise instructions!
We took this same route to and from NYC and it worked very well.
I watched this video and it was very helpful. It made my trip directly to NYC super smooth. Thank you for making this video!
Yep, this is what ive been looking for.
Short & clear information without blah blah blah. Thank you so much
Thanks guys this looks very simple and easy to get to manhattan I was wondering how straight forward it would be thank you
Thank you for this video! Traveling to NYC for the first time soon!
Don’t forget to scoop a slice from Joes!
Thank you very much for your concise and informative video. Excellent!
Thanks for watching! We couldn’t find a QUICK video less than 10-15 mins so we had to change that.
This is Incredible ❤️
😂 Maybe we need to start making more “Quick Guides.” Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this helpful and detailed guide! Landing in EWR for the first time so now it seems like it’ll go well thanks to you! 🙏
Glad it helped! Good luck!!
Just returned from a weekend in NYC; your video was spot on and of great value to me, thanks!
Thanks for saying that. I couldn’t find just a simple SHORT video when we went so I made one myself. Glad it helped!
Wow thank you so much for this video. I’ll be watching that again when my trip to New York starts in January haha
No problem! We’re glad you found it helpful. We had no idea this video would turn out to be as useful as it has. We’re actually on our way back to NY for our second trip ever next week. Can’t wait! Have fun!! 🥶
Was told by my boss on tuesday that i will fly to EWR on friday. Never been there before. This took some of my anxiety away.
I want to say THANK YOU because of this video i traveled last week to NY and I did everything you mentioned in this video. I felt comfortable taking the airtrain to NY. ❤and everything went smoothly.
🥹 that’s really awesome to hear! We know how stressful traveling can be. The whole reason we made this video is because we didn’t see a better version out there already. We’re glad you found it helpful. Thanks for sharing!
I really want to thank you for the awesome SHORT video. I'm flying to New York for the first time, my family including, so I was quite nervous. Now I hope everything will go smoothly (unless we depart at Newark Penn Station ;))
Nice! We can’t wait to go back in a few months. Haven’t been since. Save us a slice!

Thank you! ❤
Thank you for this, I’m visiting New York for the first time in October and was a bit worried about getting the train but it seems really simple! This was really helpful.
You’re welcome! We’re actually about to do this again in a few weeks. It’ll be our first time back since we filmed this. Should be a breeze!
@@Castaways_Travel Great, I shall keep an eye out for that!
Going in March this video going to help a lot thank you
👍🏽 Glad it was helpful!
Awesome thank you!
This was soooo easy!
Thanks!
thank you very much
We took the Newark airport express to Grand Central Station via Lincoln tunnel
They opened a new Terminal A in January 2023. The air train does not currently stop there. You have to take a shuttle bus outside baggage claim to go to terminal B and then switch to the air train there.
Thanks for the EWR update!
Still, just as simple
I dig the music
Nicely done, it was very helpful. Here's a thought. How would you take the train from Newark airport to catch train going north to Monroe, NY ?😊
Thanks! No idea though. You’ll have to check the NJ Transit schedule.
www.njtransit.com
Thank you for the clear video. Anyone knows if there’s an elevator to go down to the train track platform A?
According to this map the Newark Airport has accessibility to the NJ Transit.

OK I just did the air train but I had a issue. If you do a round-trip, make sure you get both tickets and a receipt. I waited and got one ticket, thinking that was round-trip. But no and then when I got into NYC I went to Customer service and they’ll only get you a courtesy pass up until the Airport.
What terminal did you go to and what was the steps?
Appreciate it! It's helpful. I have a question. Why both NYC and Newark call their own stations xxx penn station? What does penn here stands for? Pennsylvania?
The Penn Station name extends from the fact that the old Pennsylvania Railroad built many of these stations back in the early 20th century. At that time, different railroad companies typically used different stations, especially in major cities or towns, so the station usually took the name of the company. If various railroads combined to use the same depot, the place often took the name Union Station. (That's why you see so many of those, too.)
"They're all named for the Pennsylvania Railroad,"
Hello, thanks a lot for your video! Do we need to buy 2 tickets or just one at the airport? Thanks again :)
Thanks for watching! You can purchase both one way or round trip tickets at all airport kiosks.
Thank you this video is very helpful. My arrival at Newark Aiport is next moth but by night at 10 PM. Do both train running after 11 PM ?
NJ Transit train service is not 24/7. Trains run between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. Check the NJ Transit app for tickets sales and more information.
@@Castaways_Travel Thank you very much, Castaway escapes.
I have just seen that there is a traint that a can take before 1am. That's perfect
Very beautiful video. Where you an international arriving traveller ?
Thanks and no, not on this trip. Domestic roundtrip from Texas!
Questions.
I never been to NYC and planning a trip so when you buy tickets and it have more then one train ride do you have to be there at the time your ticket say?
What if I have a ticket and I miss my ride can I still use my ticket for the next trian or do I have to buy a new ticket?
Tickets on the NJ Transit Train from Newark to NY Penn Station do not include any times. Your ticket should be useable on any train ride that day.
This works also for getting to Newark Penn Station right? Thanks a lot for the straightforward preview.
Yes. There should be Secaucus and Newark stops before New York.
You do not have to take nj transit. Take the PATH train to Manhattan. It's a bit longer but only 2.95 .
Hi! How often does the train go? Is it often or less that every hour? I have trouble finding a time schedule.
We are not aware of any specific train schedules. Try the New Jersey Transit website at www.njtransit.com. It’s a pretty user friendly website and easy to navigate.
Does a round trip ticket have to be used that day or can you use the return portion two days later as is my case?
One way and round trip tickets should not expire.
Can you ride the NJ train with LARGE luggage? Not the Carry on but the large one?
As far as I know. I believe the area we are seated at in the video is more applicable for overhead luggage storage. The other seating areas are forward facing seats.
Can you buy a round trip ticket if you will be staying 7 days or will you have to buy 2 singles
No idea. Refer to the NJ Transit website for more info.
njtransit.com
how long is the commute to Penn station? I have flow from JFK to Penn, and wonder if this is shorter!
It’s about 20 minutes to New York Penn Station from Newark Airport by train. About 10 minutes to Newark Penn Station.
How much does the round trip train ticket that was purchased in this video cost?
That information is in the description.
My best friend and I are flying to Newark and we arrive about 11:30. Does the transit run throughout the night?
Check the NJ Transit hours. You’ll have to enter your to and from locations to see. Looks like Newark Airport to New York runs til about 130a.

Hello, what about the way back to Newark if you’re hotel is in Newark? Is it the same, just backwards?
Yup. Just don’t forget to select “round trip” in Newark and pay attention to where in Penn Station your train docks and it should be the same trip in reverse order when you return.
@@Castaways_Travelif you're returning back to the newark airport the next day, should you do round trip as well?
So from Newark Airport we just need to buy only 1 ticket to get to NY Penn Station? No other purchases? Are the fare prices still the same as of today (7/19/23)?
If you are traveling by train then yes you would only need to purchase one ticket to get to NY Penn Station from Newark Airport as the air train is free.
I have no idea what current prices are though. You might want to check the NJ Transit webpage for route schedules or download the NJ Transit Mobile App for specific ticket prices.
@@Castaways_Travel Thanks for the quick reply
How long does the journey take? And is it easy to get to Times Square from the station ?
The train ride is approximately 20-30 minutes long and google maps says Penn Station is a short 12 minute walk away from Times Square. Thanks for watching!
@@Castaways_Travel 32nd st to 42nd street and then right up a few blocks.
I normally fly into JFK, but prices are quite more expensive than flying into Newark. How long is the train ride from Newark Airport to NY Penn Station?
It’s been a while since our trip, but I don’t think it was too long of a ride. I want to say around 30 minutes.
it’s much quicker than going from JFK to Manhattan
When I Google the train ride it’s saying 1hr. Is this correct?
When I Google the train ride it’s saying 1hr. Is this correct?
@@ebonybell1232 Google is sometimes wrong. It's about 30 minutes
👍👍👍☺☺☺👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹
Will that take u to time square?
The route in the video takes you to NY Penn Station. You can take another route from there to go directly to Times Square or a short 10 min walk will get you there too.
Could you use cash to buy a ticket?
Yes
0:45 the priceeee
Do I have to purchase a ticket at every train stop?
No. Your selected destination will give you passage all the way from your origin location.
@@Castaways_Travel great! tysm
How long are you on train.?
This question has been answered in the description.
How long did it take to get from the airport to Penn Station?
Approximately 20-30 minutes.
@@Castaways_Travel Cool, thanks!
how much walking is there ???
I don’t recall. I recommend you download the app City Mapper for public transportation in Manhattan. It is very accurate, user friendly, and extremely helpful. Great for navigating the city if you’re new to the area and need a little help. The app will tell you what specific corner you need to enter and exit at for the subway, how many minutes until your train arrives and how much walking is involved for where you are trying to get to.
How much is a ticket
I think it may have gone up slightly since January 2022. I have read $15.50-$16.00 on different articles posted at different times since the trip in this video.
How much was this please
It was $15.25 for 1 adult one-way ticket, $3.50 for 1 child one-way ticket, and $11.25 for 1 senior citizen one-way ticket in January of 2022.
how much were the tickets?
That information is in the description.
Thanks
How much?
That information is in the description.
15.25 is that still the same
I think it may have gone up slightly since January 2022. I have read $15.50-$16.00 on different articles posted at different times since the trip in this video.
Sorry, can we stay at Newark airport for 1 nights? If it possible ?😂
Ha. No, but if you fly into JFK you can stay at their TWA Hotel. Maybe we’ll get a chance to film their someday.
there are many hotels just outside of the airport ... taxi ride or shuttle is 5 -12 minutes.
Wow! No more awful bus ride to the New York Port Authority bus terminal. You left out the most important parts though, the times and the price, and how long is the ride, total from the airport to Penn Station NY?
Does the train from Newark train station to NYC stop running after midnight? Don’t want to get stranded overnight in Newark, murder capitol of the US!
Most of that information is in the description. Prices have changed slightly since this video was posted. We do not know the NJ train schedule. Try checking the NJ Transit webpage for those specifics.

NJ Transit, Metro North and Long Island Railroads are insanely overpriced. Good lord.
Sure, but a ride share service or taxi from JFK or La Guardia to Manhattan will definitely be a whole lot more. Probably $50+ for just the one way.
Take the PATH train. Only 2.95 .
I MIGHT consider liking, but I have to say I find COVID masks Offensive.
DISLIKE!
This video was filmed in January 2021 when masks were still mandatory for traveling. There was no way around that. It was either wear the masks in public places or don’t travel and as you can see we weren’t willing to stop traveling. We didn’t ask nor care if you find it offensive.
Thanks!
Hey! Our very first tip ever! You’re too kind. Many thanks!
