If you come back at night and walk out via the south exit, it is quite ghetto and not reccomended.

When going to the men's bathroom please cover your nose, the stink is so strong you might pass out.

Ever since McDonalds went into renovation, the average weight of riders has dropped 16%. Follow @cappability on Twitter for more lulz.

Enjoy pondering why the transit cops lovingly caress their submachine guns.

Showing up 45 minutes early for your train is not always necessary.

Don't let anyone carry your bags for you. Bums and junkies are faster then they look.

Can't get to Mos Eisley cantina no worries just spend an hour at Newark penn after 9pm.
Emmanuel DornelasJanuary 2, 2012

If you can't finish your food offer it to the bums who hang out in McDonalds. Stay awhile and hang out with the bums.

Now, If they can only do something about the battered platforms, outdated waiting rooms, prison-like toilets, and drunken vagrants hobbling about.

If you're not on the platform and the screen says "All Aboard" don't assume you've missed your train!

Never stop at the bar located in the corner of the station, it smells and is full of so many creepers.

For double Decker trains you are more likely to find free seats upstairs. People are more inclined to go downstairs as opposed to up.

Be sure to be up-to-date on your shots prior to arrival.

Transferring to the Raritan Valley line during rush hour? Don't count on any mercy from the conductors if your train is late. Run. Don't walk. Run.
William TollMarch 13, 2012
Look out! They don't have any signs here. When will American train stations have signage like Europe?

Don't complain about the homeless people; just be grateful for what you have.

Someone needs to so something about the homeless people and the crackheads there....Jeez...!

Sketchy homeless people and beggars lingering about. Donate at your own risk. The liquor store is sometimes a godsend, sometimes a potential explanation of the crazy you'll see. Enjoy!

Put headphones in, unless you want half a dozen crackheads begging you for drug money.

Plenty of police present. Good!

Don't give bums any change you might as well buy them a beer or a shot.
