AirTrain from Penn Station to Newark Airport
From Caroline Kimberly: "Has anyone else had any difficulties using AirTrain from Penn Station to the Newark Airport? My husband and I visited Manhattan over the Christmas holidays, and were sorely disappointed in the Airtrain service, touted on Continental's website as fast, safe, and dependable. Upon our arrival at Newark Airport, we found out that the quoted every 20 minutes running of the train was an average -- the wait for some trains was as little as 15 min, while others required an hour wait."

more> A Suggested Solution for Amtrak
From Keyroyal: "The solution to Amtrak's problems is simple. Congress has to continue funding the service. They support the airlines with airports and a control system; they support the trucks and buses with roads. There is no rail system in the world that is completely self sufficient. The European railroads receive money for capitol expenses. Operating expenses could be met if there was sufficient capitol investment."
