Getting Between Terminals
AirTrain Newark links the airport’s terminals, parking areas and the Newark Liberty International Airport rail station, where NJ Transit and Amtrak trains stop. The AirTrain system is being replaced, and parts of the service have been changed or supplemented with buses at times during construction, so check the Port Authority’s Newark Airport website for current AirTrain service before you rely on it. If you’re connecting between terminals on a tight schedule, ask your airline about the fastest option for your itinerary.
