I'm traveling to the east coast and was wondering if
anybody knows how to get from the Newark Airport to
the Ft. Lee, NJ area, other than a cab. Is there
public transportation, or hotel shuttles that I can
take to get me there? Last time I took a cab it was
about $60.00...is there a cheaper way?

There are shuttles that you can inquire about at baggage claim and curbside. Ask about Jersey Transit buses/trains and check Shortline too. Hotels also offer shuttles so maybe you could pay themto get you to Ft Lee. I used to live about an hour from Newark in NY and the shuttle I took was about $15, you'll be closer so you should be able to get something in that price point.

Try Babe's Cab in Fort Lee. 1-800-886-TAXI from outside NJ or 201-944-6800 within NJ. They'll pick you up and deliver you to Fort Lee for $36 plus tolls ($2.40) and tip. Public transport will be cheaper, but might take well over an hour (if not closer to 1 1/2). Babe's will do it in 20 minutes and their pretty reliable.

A cab may be the most efficient, although most expensive, way to get from ERW to Ft. Lee. Was it $60 from a meter or a fixed rate? Some taxi services there have a specific rate going to certain towns, but I don't think you can find that out until you get to the airport. Mass transit may involve taking a bus from the airport into Manhattan and then taking a bus back to NJ. Are you staying at the Ft. Lee Hilton? Ask them if they have ideas.
