Lazy web: Easiest and fastest way to Newark airport from Manhattan - taxi or train?
Almost always the train. It is only $12 from Penn and the transfer to the AirTrain (AirTran?) is really easy + another $4 or so. Cab is always a crap shoot with tunnel traffic.
I once got into Newark at 1am after 12+ hours of delays and flying, so I got in a cab back to my old apt in Astoria. Worst idea of all time. Total cab fare: $120. Train every time now.
I took the train. Very quick and easy but the AirTran was so slow and crowded it almost took the same amount of time just to get to the far terminal.
