I'm Jen your local New York City guide and this is the fastest video to the
quickest and cheapest way to get from New York International Airport to
midtown Manhattan without making the number one mistake that most visitors
make. Trust me I've lived in New Jersey so I know all of this transportation way
too well, I've tried everything and this is the fastest, cheapest way so don't
forget to subscribe and check out down below i have a link to my blog post
including a link to wherever you are directions to Newark International
Airport... it's that easy I know you're welcome okay so let's go!
Even though Newark Airport is in New Jersey just across the water I actually
love flying through it because it's a little bit less crowded and flights are
often a little bit cheaper through Newark Airport.
I recommend taking two easy steps to get to Manhattan: the free air train and then
NJ transit to New York Penn Station which takes about 30 to 45 minutes it's
that quick! Optional step 3 depends on where you are staying if you
are not staying near Penn Station 34th Street or Midtown then you will likely
need to take a subway to your hotel or a car if that's easier with your bags. Okay
let's break it down. First you follow signs for the air train it runs 24 hours
a day. Ride it past terminal B and C to the train stations'
NJ Transit transfer point. It is free if you are traveling within the airport if
you do not take NJ Transit it technically costs five dollars and fifty
cents which is already included in the price of the 13 dollar NJ transit ticket
you purchase when exiting you will have to show your ticket twice at the
turnstile and the train so don't lose it. Once you exit you will see blue and
orange machines where you can purchase your NJ Transit tickets for 13 dollars
per adult, one way. You can purchase a ticket on the machine or on your phone.
You can buy a paper ticket at the machines by clicking NJ Transit rail, New
York Penn Station, one way adult and then selecting your payment method. If you're
not from the USA and you pay with credit card put your zip code as nine nine nine
nine nine that's five nines. Or if you have time you can download the NJ
transit app I already have the app downloaded on my phone where I put in my
credit card information and purchase my tickets just don't forget to activate
your ticket right before boarding the train. NJ transit runs 21 hours a day,
note it does not run between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. NJ Transit trains are scheduled
to arrive at least every 15 if not 10 minutes depending on the time of day. The
biggest mistake people constantly make on NJ Transit is getting off at the
wrong stop. I have had to tell so many people don't get off here this is not
New York there is actually a stop called Newark Penn Station in New Jersey before
the final stop New York Penn Station they sound very similar on the
loudspeaker so pay attention and do not get off early at the Newark Penn Station
get off at New York Penn Station. Fun fact there are multiple Penn Station
stops in the Northeast because this used to be where the Pennsylvania Railroad
went through and if multiple trains went through a stop it was called Union
Station - that's why there's also many Union stations. The air train to NJ
Transit is definitely the cheapest and fastest route but fYI a cab or car
service can cost between $50 to $100 which can be convenient if you have a
large group and a lot of heavy bags there are also buses but any of these
driving options often take longer between 45 minutes to an hour so you
need to give yourself time if there is traffic. Thank you so much for watching
I'm Jen your local New York City guide and I have a ton more videos on the New
York City subway, what to eat, other airports everything you can imagine so
just keep watching, don't forget to subscribe and as always say yes to new
adventures and I'll see you next time bye! :)
