Can we do something about the obnoxious tips left by people who OBVIOUSLY have no clue what it is to have nothing...

Newark Penn station is a wonderful place if you enjoy surly service, bad food, bland architecture and a steady stream of vagrants soliciting money from travelers.

Don't waste time asking NJ Transit why your train's delayed. The system is simply inexplicable.

Try not to use the bathroom if you don't have to...unless you just want to mingle and meet new people :)

The worst quality of this station - absolutely the worst - is the fact that they start to close it down after 11pm. Late arriving passengers are forced to use only one exit. It can seem very unsafe!

There's almost absolutely no way of getting in and out of here without being asked for change. If you're too kind-hearted, walk fast & "don't speak English."

Wow. The people that leave tips about the homeless act as if they asked to.be here in this desperate state. Unless you're going to do something to help, kindly shut up!

This place smells like sewage even from inside the train when is stopped.

Cops on Segways? Really?

Crowded train ugh!!
Sheri LynnAugust 27, 2013
A totally unorganized mess if your not familiar with the station. If possible pack light, it was tough dragging luggage thru the terminal, upstairs and to tracks!

I would not want my wife to be here alone waiting for a late train. Seedy waiting area.

NEVER drink from the water fountains. The homeless bathe in them.

Shield yourself from onlookers in the men's room. It's pretty bad.
Raúl GNovember 17, 2011
Avoid the men's room at all costs.

The best spot to sit in case you are headed towards jersey gardens is Raymond plaza. You can see route 40 as well as 62.

Looks like a homeless shelter. When I complain, am told it's "a public space". Hmm.

Listen to music when your bored waiting for a train

Your best bet if you have time to kill is to buy cheapest thing at McDonald's and post up for as long as possible. Sort of a safe haven
CharlieDecember 29, 2011
You really don't want buffer time here. It's a pretty miserable place. The art deco design is the best part. Be aware of crackhead zombies.. they bite.

My worst nightmare. Missing my train by one second and stuck here for an hour. Some dimension of hell.
