Recommend a taxi from Newark Penn Station to Newark Airport
« on: October 20, 2021, 11:23:01 PM »
I'll be arriving at Newark Penn Station and I need a taxi to Newark Airport. Who do you recommend so that I can call and reserve. Time is of essence as my flight is less than 1 hour away.
I know I'm cutting it reallllly close. Figured to play it safe with someone very familiar with the route.
Thank you.

Wouldn't an Uber work?

The the bus. It leaves from the Newark Penn and drops off at your terminal.
I was in your situation and I was totally fine. I didn't have a bags to check

I didn't know that. But there's a very high chance I'll miss the flight, and it's the last flight so I'll be stranded. So I had to make other travel arrangement and forgo the greyhound.
Thank you.

I looked into Amtrak. I already checked the train schedule. I will not get to the airport on time.

Not familiar with that but in any case I had to change my plans. Getting stranded was a bigger risk.

Okay I looked at the map for the trains. 30 minutes.
No way I'll make the flight with baggage and security check and maybe covid check.

It is because of the reduced availability of transportation (buses, rental cars, train)  that causes me to arrive so late in Newark.
And then add on fewer flights in case I miss this one and it's a perfect storm.

I used my points to buy a last minute flight. Safety comes first!

Wait time for any option suggested in this thread is critical. When you have no time to waste you can't stand around waiting for a quicker ride, especially if it isn't reliably on schedule at an advantageous time. Frequency is also a factor since arrival time can only be estimated and a targeted scheduled option might end up being too early or too late.

I looked into Amtrak. I already checked the train schedule. I will not get to the airport on time.

Between Amtrak and NJ Transit there should be several options per hour during normal running times.

I'd make the train Plan A, and if none of them work then a cab is second best. Uber should be OK but there's also green checkered cabs waiting outside Newark Penn that you can hail.
