After looking at the various commuter websites I'm a bit stumped....I'll be staying arriving at EWR, and staying at the Hilton Newark Penn Station. If I take the AirTrain to Newark Airport PATH train to Newark Penn Station do I have to pay both the PATH fare ($8.50 pp) AND the AirTrain offsite fare ($5.50 pp)? If so, do I NEED to take the AirTrain....I don't want to schlep bags for half a mile, but .......

if I do need to use both forms of transport, would it be cheaper to just take a cab (there are 2 of us)?

Thanks!

There is no Newark Airport path station. Air Train connects to New Jersey transit (and Amtrak) but not Path. The $8.50 charge includes both Air Train and New Jersey transit to Newark Penn Station -- there is not an extra offsite fare. There also is a very cheap local bus that connects the airport to Newark Penn Station.

Great, thanks for the info. Do I buy my ticket for the NJT at the AirTrain station in the airport?

If my memory serves correctly, you buy the ticket when you get to the train station.

Just came back from Newark.The taxi will cost about $ 20 and take 10-15 minutes depending on time of day (longer during rush hours). For the two of you I would take the cab less hassle and schlepping.

Thanks all. joethekay, I think we'll take your advice and just get the cab and be done with it.
