    PRO TIP: The NJTransit MYTix app is free, easy, and will save you from standing in the long lines! Also no service charge to buy tickets right on your phone. It's a no- brainer!!!

    Download the MyTix app from NJTransit. You can buy mobile boarding tickets ahead of time and activate them when you need it. Also no lines. So convenient.

    If your train is on Standby- don't go for a drink or donut as that's a great way to miss the train! The train probably won't board for 10 minutes depending on the timing.

    It's true the track assignments post 10 minutes early- best bet is to wait by a monitor & take an elevator down to the assigned track to save time.

    If you get here at least 40 minutes before your scheduled to leave, you have a greater chance at finding a seat in the waiting area next to an electrical outlet.

    The best and fastest public transit to any of the airports if you must go to EWR

    Buy the tickets on the main concourse level - 1 level down from the streets - the machines are free & it is quicker than on the lower level.

    NJ trains to airport are not built with passengers with luggage in mind. Travel light if you don't want to haul them up & down stairs.

    There is less crowded access to tracks from the Amtrak area near 8th avenue

    When going through double door entrances and exits PLEASE USE BOTH DOORS! This in turn speeds up the process to get on or off your train!

    Don't get crushed by the crowds. Wait till they dissipate then calmly head down to your train :)

    Go down one level to watch the track posting monitors then you can get on using the stairs or escalator on that level thus beating the crowds

    Apparently if you are late, your train may not be listed but will still be there for about 10 minutes. It's like a scavenger hunt for your train. Bathrooms resemble crime scenes minus the yellowtape

    New fancy signage. Much easier to read from a million miles away due to crowds

    If you're riding nj transit there's three sets of vending machines. Look before hopping into the first line if its long.

    Buying the ticket on the train will incur an extra fee. Buy at the automated machines :)

    Get your NJ Transit trains. Fine when it's not crowed but rush hour can be annoying.

    Track lines are posted 10 mins before the train leaves. Go to the waiting area & wait till its posted. Some information staff are morehelpful than others.

    Go to njtransit on your phone and watch for track postings! U can't hear anything clearly during rush hour!

    More ticket machines on the other side of the concourse from the actual ticket windows. Usually no lines.

    They constantly go up in prices & quality of service goes down. Now you can't even charge your cell phone or laptop in waiting area.

    Try to avoid arriving when a Rangers game empties out... It's shoulder to shoulder combat.
