The unique culture, thought-provoking museums, various scenic marvels, astounding architectures and exotic wildlife of Newark have made this urban area of New Jersey a popular haunt for tourists boarding flights to the USA. Affectionately known as ‘Brick City’, Newark is also one of the popular holiday getaways attracting those planning a vacation in New York. In fact, many travellers heading to NYC often board flights to Newark Liberty International Airport. Hence, the international terminal of the city receives a good number of leisure travellers as well as corporate flyers every year. The modern transportation system of Newark has made passengers’ journey from the international terminal more comfortable. Following are the top choices here to travel around.
AirTrain
Budget holidaymakers arriving on flights here can board the AirTrain, one of the low-cost transport modes for airport transfer. AirTrain operates services to NJ Transit and the rail lines that run on the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line. And the best part is that, the service operates round the clock, all through the year and passengers do not need to worry about traffic jams.
Public Transportation
Another mode of ground transfer from Newark international terminal to the city and the surrounding area is public transportation. For flyers on a tight budget disembarking flights at Liberty Airport, the train and the bus services are perhaps the most ideal transportation modes to roam in and around the Brick City. Passengers disembarking flights here can use the AirTrain Newark system to connect to a NJ TRANSIT, while the Express Bus operates service on various routes in NYC from different terminals of the Newark Airport.
Rent a Car
Passengers debarking flights here can rent a car from the designated counters at the terminal and travel through the country on their own. There are various cab operators such as Alamo, Dollar, Avis and Hertz rolling out services from the airport. Fares vary among the service providers. Some rental cab organisations provide E-ZPass® transponder tags. However if the cab company does not provide E-ZPass® transponder tag, tourists need to pay the toll by cash. Hence, it is advisable to check with the terms and conditions of the company before hiring a car.
