How do you get between terminals at EWR?

AirTrain Newark — Free for trips between terminals; serves Terminals A, B and C plus parking and the NJ Transit/Amtrak rail station, every ~15 min between roughly 4:00 a.m. and midnight. It does NOT yet connect directly to Terminal A — a free shuttle bus (or a ~15-min covered walk) links the Terminal A AirTrain station to the terminal. A full AirTrain replacement is scheduled to open in 2029. Separately, United operates a complimentary post-security inter-terminal shuttle bus (A28<->C71, and to B) so connecting United passengers can skip re-screening.

Arrivals, departures, and getting around EWR

• Departures are usually upstairs. Most EWR terminals put ticketing, bag drop, and security on the upper (departures) level, with baggage claim and pickup below.
• Follow your gate, not just your terminal. Inside security, signs point you to gate numbers and concourses — your boarding pass lists both.
• Accessibility. Elevators, accessible restrooms, and wheelchair assistance are available throughout; ask your airline ahead of time, or look for TSA Cares if you need extra help at screening.
• Picking someone up? Head to baggage claim on the arrivals level — but to catch a flight, everything you need is on the departures side above.

Lounges, dining, and shops live inside each terminal past security — handy once you're through, but they shouldn't change when you leave home. Browsing other airports? TSA wait times by airport lists them all.
