Elizabeth, NJ to NYC -- train route? Show Original Poster
Join Date: Oct 2003 Posts: 7 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts Elizabeth, NJ to NYC -- train route? Staying at the Wyndham Garden in Elizabeth, NJ and planning a one-day trip to Manhattan. Want to see Ellis Island, Ground Zero, the Met, and the NYSE/Merrill Lynch bull. Also need to find my daughter an "I Love New York" T-shirt. A full day, no doubt! This is my first trip ever to New Jersey and I'm not clear even though I've searched the New Jersey Transit and PATH web sites. What's the best train route to get from Elizabeth to the World Trade Center site? I plan to return via the same route, then head home to the Northwest. Many thanks.

Take your hotel's free shuttle to the terminals. You then take the AirTrain Newark to the Newark Airport Train Station. Take any NYC-bound train one stop to Newark, NJ (Penn Station- they have one too!). You will save quite a bit of time and energy if you take a taxi to the train station. You can then do a cross-platform (sort of) transfer to the PATH, which will take you INTO the World Trade Center site. Yes, into. Not near. Inside. Can't get any closer. Take any PATH train marked "WTC".

The only Wyndham Garden hotel in NJ is Wyndham Garden Hotel - Mount Olive at International Trade Center. BTW, the NJ Transit charges a lot more for the EWR-Penn station route than from other towns in NJ. For example: Original Poster

When you take any train from EWR, you pay an extra surcharge that helps pay for that new monorail line and station they built for the EWR stops. I understand you can't even get on the monorail without a valid ticket, and there's no other way to get to the station.

They have shuttle buses that will take you to the monorail (not sure how often - every 1/2 hour?) and from there you go to the Newark Airport Train Station. The NJTransit South Jersey Coast train stops at the Elizabeth train station. If the hotel has a free shuttle, take that. Any particular reason you are staying in New Jersey?

You are going to pay substantially more for fares to pay a surchage for a train you won't even use. I would advise trying to get the hotel to drop you off at the the Elizabeth NJ Transit station, or taking a cab there. (the North Elizabeth station is closer but has infrequent service). This will give the direct access to Midtown for 4.55 where you can take a subway where you want to go. You indicate you are going to the met, so you'll need to get uptown eventually anyway.
