look at that: frequent, relatively cheap service is what a lot of people want.

That route could totally support 6-12 min frequencies, especially during all this terminal/Airtrain construction.

Ha..your telling me. Have you ever taken the GO28 route as well? Apparently it is similar to the 62 route but more geared towards those that are flying. I’ll continue taking the 62 tho if I’m traveling alone

pros:

go28 is the better choice if you’re coming from along Bloomfield Ave (south of the Bloomfield station), connecting via the MOBO/M&E at Bloomfield/Broad St, or via the NLR at Bloomfield Ave/Broad St.

Luggage storage area and racks, different seating arrangement

It also is a decent choice if you are connecting at the EWR North Area from the #107 bus from NYC, or if you’re parking at P6. (You’d actually take the go28 towards Newark/Bloomfield)

Doesn’t get stuck in Elizabeth traffic (because it doesn’t go there), has traffic signal priority along Bloomfield Ave

cons:

It doesn’t touch Newark Penn (it runs down Broad St), so isn’t as helpful for NEC/NJCL/RVL, or any local buses which terminate there. 62 is way better at that.

It doesn’t run to Elizabeth or IKEA (less helpful for people connecting south of EWR)

It has wider stop spacing, so you might need to walk a bit more if by Bloomfield Ave.

Schedule got changed away from clockface (35m intervals instead of 15/30m) because it takes so long to get to and from the new terminal A.

(leave some time, take light rail from Newark Penn to Broad st)
