nyc: My husband and son are going to NYC at the end of June and they're looking at staying in Newark because it's cheaper than NYC, though NYC isn't out of their options. A hotel I found in Newark has a free shuttle to the airport, but then you have to take the train to NYC. Does anyone know the cost of this, because if transportation is going to be higher, they might as well just stay in the city. Thanks!|||Watch out. From Newark Penn Station it's $4, but from Newark Airport (separate station on the same train line) it's $15. They supposedly charge extra to cover the cost of building that relatively new train station and the intra-airport monorail (but one could also say it's easier politically to soak tourists than commuters). If you are relying on a shuttle bus to the airport, followed by the monorail to the NJ Transit train station, followed by a $15 train ride in, that could get really annoying.|||Do not stay in Newark. Pay the extra money and stay in Manhattan. The time you spend commuting back and forth is not worth it. You've been warned.|||Newark Penn Station to New York Penn Station on NJ Transit is $4.00 each way peak. Newark Penn Station to the World Trade Center site via PATH is $1.75 each way.|||you can get a round trip tickets on off peak hrs (not rush hour)for less then $10 each,
