The Airport. Newark Liberty International Airport is located about 18 miles from Midtown
Manhattan. The drive can be made in about 30 minutes, but the travel time varies vastly accord-
ing to local congestion on route. The airport served about 34 MAP in 2005; of these, some 10.4
million were originating passengers.
Connections at the Airport. Newark airport is a comparatively centralized airport, with
only three major terminal departure areas. The Newark AirTrain connects these three termi-
nals with a rental car area, a transfer point for hotel courtesy vehicles, and the Newark Liberty
International Airport Rail Station, which is served by New Jersey Transit and Amtrak. The air-
port rail station is the only direct connection between an airport people mover and the national
rail system.
Rail. At Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Station, New Jersey Transit offers frequent
service both toward Manhattan and in the opposite direction toward Trenton, New Jersey, and
Philadelphia. Amtrak offers less frequent service, with many regional trains stopping, but with no
connection to the high-speed Acela service.
Bus. A wide variety of bus services are offered at the passenger terminal area. A major
express bus service serves midtown, and a separate line serves Lower Manhattan. About 5% of
Newark's non-connecting airline passengers choose this bus service. Another 2% use the local
bus systems.
Shared-Ride Van. Around 10 companies provide services beyond the major express bus
services to Manhattan, with direct services in all directions.
