Transferring to the Raritan Valley line during rush hour? Don't count on any mercy from the conductors if your train is late. Run. Don't walk. Run.

Plenty of police present. Good!

Never stop at the bar located in the corner of the station, it smells and is full of so many creepers.

If you want to get to the airport on the cheap use the 62 bus instead of the train. $1.50 compared to +$5.00?

Put headphones in, unless you want half a dozen crackheads begging you for drug money.

Just because the board and the announcements say it's your train don't believe it

Don't use the bathroom's in the morning, homeless use them as shower. Goodluck fighting for a sink to wash your hands.

Track location signs aren't the track numbers. Don't confuse them.

They need to get rid off all the nasty and smelly ass homeless people in here. They seriously reek. If you want dunkin donuts, go up the escalator by mcdonalds and there is two in the gateway building

NJ Transit is way faster than the Path.

Don't take the bolt bus! They are unorganized and inconsiderate.

Seattle Coffee Roasters has decent coffee - should hold you over until Dunkin Donuts is open.

Good: Play the NJ lottery or buy a bottle of wine. Ferry St has good restaurants. Bad: This station is the worst to wait in late at nights. Last train into NY is around 1am. First train is 5:30.

Don't wait for your train in the waiting room at night. You'll be surrounded by drunk, smelly bums.

This station was featured on the Fox TV show Fringe. In the show it is named "Springsteen Station" because Bruce Springsteen was born in Newark.

Look out! They don't have any signs here. When will American train stations have signage like Europe?

I dropped my wallet in the so called scary waiting room and a nice lady pointed it out - about 10 feet behind me. Someone was about to trip over it.

If it's snowing leave your house earlier because train delays are likely.
