I have used this bus a few times and found it to be a good and inexpensive alternative for traveling between Newark Liberty Airport and Manhattan. Recently, I bought a ticket online and realized I had confused the airports for particular flights. I discovered I could not reach any customer service at the numbers they gave to exchange my ticket... More

Since the Bryant Park bus stop was a 5-minute walk from our hotel, my wife and decided to use this company to get from Manhattan to Newark airport. First, we found the service unreliable as we had to wait over 40 minutes for a bus to arrive (their website says "every 15 minutes"). We'd read the warnings by other travelers... More

Do not take this bus. You will wait 30 minutes to an hour to get on. Buses will come and go barely filled. I was also told to get off at the wrong terminal, and because of this as well as how long it took to board, I was late and missed my flight.

I have used this express bus service several times and honestly say that it has been a very useful and convenient service for me. The few tips I would suggest to all potential passengers is 1) In case you are booking online please print your actual ticket (with the bar code) immediately. They will not accept any other confirmation /... More

This is very close to home, so it's my first choice over Kennedy which is loud and stressful. However, have had problems with flights, but not the fault of the airport itself.

This bus service is reasonably priced ($15 per person each way). However, if you expect to arrive at EWR between 3 and 7 p.m. use alternate transportation. The traffic into the Lincoln Tunnel can be horrendous in the late afternoon and early evenings. It took us two hours to get to Grand Central from the time the bus picked us... More

Good alternative to taxis and trains to NYC, which are grossly overpriced for such a short trip
