How long does the AirTrain + NJT Train take?
The AirTrain takes 5-15 minutes to connect you to the train station, depending on what terminal you are coming from and how long you have to wait for the train. Be careful during off-peak hours (i.e., late-night and early-morning); the AirTrain may not run direct from the terminal to the NJ Transit train station and you may have to transfer. Pay attention to the signs & announcements, or ask a staff member. The NJTransit train takes only about 20-25 minutes to get to Penn Station, but at many times of the day the trains run almost an hour apart, so if you miss the train, you can get stuck waiting for quite a while. For detailed schedules see the NJ Transit website (select the “Northeast Corridor Line” for EWR to New York Penn Station).
