Maggie BorukhovichMay 30, 2014PRO TIP: The NJTransit MYTix app is free, easy, and will save you from standing in the long lines! Also no service charge to buy tickets right on your phone. It's a no- brainer!!!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Sara DeckardJanuary 14, 2014Download the MyTix app from NJTransit. You can buy mobile boarding tickets ahead of time and activate them when you need it. Also no lines. So convenient.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
If your train is on Standby- don't go for a drink or donut as that's a great way to miss the train! The train probably won't board for 10 minutes depending on the timing.
It's true the track assignments post 10 minutes early- best bet is to wait by a monitor & take an elevator down to the assigned track to save time.
Heather CarterJune 1, 2014If you get here at least 40 minutes before your scheduled to leave, you have a greater chance at finding a seat in the waiting area next to an electrical outlet.
Upvoted 3 weeks ago- Buy the tickets on the main concourse level - 1 level down from the streets - the machines are free & it is quicker than on the lower level.
Apparently if you are late, your train may not be listed but will still be there for about 10 minutes. It's like a scavenger hunt for your train. Bathrooms resemble crime scenes minus the yellowtape
Annie ParkJune 20, 2017The best and fastest public transit to any of the airports if you must go to EWR
Dave ClemmonsMarch 12, 2012Go down one level to watch the track posting monitors then you can get on using the stairs or escalator on that level thus beating the crowds
When going through double door entrances and exits PLEASE USE BOTH DOORS! This in turn speeds up the process to get on or off your train!
jpli18April 21, 2014NJ trains to airport are not built with passengers with luggage in mind. Travel light if you don't want to haul them up & down stairs.
Buying the ticket on the train will incur an extra fee. Buy at the automated machines :)
Sara 🌈⚔🍾August 12, 2016Get your NJ Transit trains. Fine when it's not crowed but rush hour can be annoying.
Jason HowieNovember 12, 2012If you're riding nj transit there's three sets of vending machines. Look before hopping into the first line if its long.
Tracey NSeptember 18, 2011Track lines are posted 10 mins before the train leaves. Go to the waiting area & wait till its posted. Some information staff are morehelpful than others.- Don't get crushed by the crowds. Wait till they dissipate then calmly head down to your train :)
Best chai tea lattes at Primo Cappuccino! (7th avenue entrance)
Sally HassanApril 15, 2012For a cheap yet good bagel or snack try seattle's best coffee located next to perfumania- Emil HOctober 11, 2013See which tracks your train usually departs from at stationstats.comUpvoted 3 weeks ago
- Anne JohnsonJanuary 30, 2013Go to njtransit on your phone and watch for track postings! U can't hear anything clearly during rush hour!
The best pizza in here is Don Pepi Pizza next to Krispy Kreme. Mmm
Ian SchaferNovember 10, 2011Best place for air conditioning: 31st st entrance (at 7th ave) at base of escalators.
Scott CAugust 6, 2011More ticket machines on the other side of the concourse from the actual ticket windows. Usually no lines.
Trains are crowded on the 17th of March so beware and get there early to get a seat.
James LanhamSeptember 26, 2011Don't buy food from here. It's always a $3 more xpensive than the norm. ^_^
Thiru Selvan SathiamoorthyApril 24, 2012Short trains are way too expensive! Take the PATH or bus if u have the time
Tony ClomaxFebruary 15, 2012They constantly go up in prices & quality of service goes down. Now you can't even charge your cell phone or laptop in waiting area.
Try to avoid arriving when a Rangers game empties out... It's shoulder to shoulder combat.
melindaSeptember 15, 2012You're better off peeing in an alley way than using any restrooms here. Fucking disgusting!!!
