If you see "All Aboard" signs and no train on the platform, chances are, the train crew forgot to turn OFF the train's stealth mode. Do not attempt to board the train till the stealth mode is OFF.

Don't use the bathroom's in the morning, homeless use them as shower. Goodluck fighting for a sink to wash your hands.

I agree with the bathrooms! Better off finding a dark corner outside Newark Penn than risking contracting a disease through the soles of your shoes!

They need to get rid off all the nasty and smelly ass homeless people in here. They seriously reek. If you want dunkin donuts, go up the escalator by mcdonalds and there is two in the gateway building

Track location signs aren't the track numbers. Don't confuse them.

Come no more then 10 mins before your train. Not the safest area to be waiting. Druggies, drunks and beggars. Sad but can't help but to feel uneasy.

Go to Moe's grill in the lobby! It's just like Chipotle!

Good: Play the NJ lottery or buy a bottle of wine. Ferry St has good restaurants. Bad: This station is the worst to wait in late at nights. Last train into NY is around 1am. First train is 5:30.

The best advice is "Just run&go"

If you miss your on-time train by 2 minutes you can be sure that the next one will be 15 minutes late.
