<p>Hi, so I'm most likely going to Rutgers-NB next year but I live all the way in New Hampshire. I've been researching ways to travel back and forth...my best options seem to be either flying or Amtrak. But the problem is that both the airport and Amtrak stations are in Newark (according to the website amtrak won't go between Newark and NB). So...what's the best way for me to get to/from Newark? I don't really want to travel across an unfamiliar city alone to get to different stations, or drop money for a cab. I guess if I have to I will, but is there a better way? Or will I just have to find a friend at school who'll be willing to drive me?</p>
<p>NJ transit goes from New Brunswick to Newark as does Amtrak</p>
<p>You can take Amtrak to Penn Station in NYC and then take NJ transit to New Brunswick–or can fly in to Newark, connect to train station (don’t know exact details but definitely can do) and again take NJ transit to New Brunswick. Train station is adjacent to the campus.</p>
<p>You have two options, both are pretty easy:</p>
<p>1) Fly to Newark Airport and take a taxi to Newark Train Station. Then take NJ Transit to NB</p>
<p>2) Take Amtrak to NY Penn Station and transfer to NJ Transit to NB.</p>
<p>You could also just take a cab from Newark Airport to Rutgers directly. It ios not that far (30 - 45 minutes depending on traffic).</p>
<p>I looked it up–you don’t have to take a taxi to the train station at Newark–AirTrain from NJ transit is a monorail from airport to station. Google under NJ transit and Airtrain.</p>
<p>Awesome, that makes everything wicked easier!</p>
<p>Thanks for the answers everyone! We don’t really have any public transportation in NH so this whole thing is new and confusing but the answers were wicked helpful.</p>
<p>If you take Amtrak, you have 3 options to transfer to an NJ Transit train to New Brunswick: NYC Penn, Newark Penn & MetroPark. The latter is a commuter station, but will be the least confusing and will likely not result in a track change (you just wait on the platform for the NJT train to come in). If your train from NH continues down the NE Corridor, check what the fare differences are between the stations and compare that to the incremental cost of the NJT ticket. I have seen that Amtrak sometimes does not differentiate between NYC Penn & Newark Penn, so you could same yourself a few $. </p>
<p>Also, NJT does have a stop at Newark Airport if you fly in. You connect via the AirTrain, which is a 5-10 minute monorail ride that adds ~$5 in addition to the regular fare between Newark Penn & New Brunswick. Here’s the website:</p>
