I don't mind EWR at all, but this was a major oversight to not connect the AirTrain to new Terminal A. And I don't know what airports you are talking about, but none of the ones I have been to have TSA as soon as you walk in.

That would be 100% unconstitutional to create religious litmus tests for candidates. If you find a candidate’s religious beliefs disqualifying you can express that at the ballot box.

Philly airport is pretty straightforward

This.

I would LOVE that. And we need it. I personally need it. Pfft to the downvotes.

Nah. Moronic drivers come from everywhere.

It seems local drivers tend to blame anyone who hasn't memorized every bend and pothole in a local road. As if it were common knowledge.

Put those same people one town over and they'd be making the same mistakes.

And.... every supermarket parking lot is a disaster.

That's sort of pitly. I'm an olde who remembers 4ft snow drifts.

Gas stations in NJ are a great example that giving people a wage WOULD NOT necessarily mean a big price increase for the customers. I go to another state a lot, where the gas stations don't have attendants, and the gas prices there are the same or higher than those back home in NJ. I am not saving money by losing the gas attendants' service.

I read something that it's starting this Spring and I honestly would not be surprised if it goes into 2030 before being completed.

Thank goodness we recently moved from that area and up the rt 208 corridor but still go into that area every signle day.

We need the water to counter drought. Our landscape needs both the cold and the added water. Lack of hard freeze means more weeds and mosquitoes/bugs.

The places we are in are shaped by the climate patterns. We have crops that are popular here because of that pattern. We have plants and animals that depend on it.

Too many humans forget we are part of the environment, not just the concrete and steel.

You’re actually proving the point that order price is irrelevant to the specific job for the driver. If I ordered 20 burgers and 10 fountain drinks off a fast food dollar menu, you’re looking at a $30 order which would generate a $6 tip at a 20% rate for something you just said would be extremely burdensome for the driver. Meanwhile, a different driver would get a $20 tip for driving a single bag of expensive sushi (a hypothetical $100 order of 5 speciality sushi rolls). That’s what makes no sense.

When I read that, I instantly panicked, thinking that I have done so many gas attendants wrong over the years...

I put my snow tires on for this???

Great kid!!! (raised fist in solidarity)

I agree! Thankfully the signing is good.

Oh I know, the bus route looks like spaghetti.

I really hope that will be addressed when the new terminal Two gets built (even with just a bus-only connection) but knowing how they’re proposing connecting the new Airtrain with old B/C (1.5 mile long passageways), it’s clear that people not arriving via taxi are basically ignored.

And the AirTrain won’t even extend to the employee parking area, for the people who go to the airport every single day.

That’s funny. I just took 62 to get to the airport. I live near Newark so it was only $3 to get to the airport. I will say it’s not for the faint of heart. That shit was overpacked

Fun fact: They didnt build a connection between the new terminal toad and the old one, so the bus basically goes to A, then leaves the airport, loops around, and enters again to reach B

what a poetic comment

The bakery in the Pennington Market is pretty good.

As opposed to? JFK and LGA? Give me a break. Unless you live right next door to them, EWR kicks the shit out of them. Take an Uber and call it a day.

Pro tip:

Until the AirTrain replacement, if you’re coming to EWR via transit, use the NJTransit #62 bus from either Elizabeth or Newark Penn train stations, or the #go28 from Newark Broad St.

They stop at all terminals (right outside), operate basically 24/7, and are cheaper than the access fee that Port Authority charges to Airtrain users.

And they’re faster to the terminals than the train + Airtrain + shuttle bus/walk combo.

It’s my opinion that the NEC heavy rail line should go directly under the airport terminal area (like any modern airport in Europe), or at least extend the PATH (both of these options were disincentivized until recently by federal policy), but until then, this is what we’ve got.

But hey, at least they touted the wide arrival/departure car lanes, that’s totally an easy and spatially compact way for thousands of people to arrive. /s
