Other than an expensive taxi, which of these options would be the quickest to Midtown: Newark Airport Express bus or taking the shuttle to Newark Penn Station and then train to New York Penn Station? We have done the former and it was really slow and disorganized. Has anyone here tried both options recently and can offer a comparison? TIA
The train from at Newark doesn't run regularly. Depending on what time you're there, it can run every hour, or not at all.
I took the bus last time and it was easier. I can't remember the outfit.
But this is the latest.

I believe you can take the PATH train from Newark Penn Station as a cheaper option compared to the NJ Transit train.

Thanks, I will check on that. I was under the impression that I had to buy a full-fare NJT EWR-Ny Penn Station ticket to avail myself of the temporary shuttle bus service from the airport. If I can do it with a Path ticket that will be great.
I took a train from EWR last year to PENN station and it actually was actually pretty easy... About $12 I think an it took about 20 mins during rush hour.
