   Levine makes it extra work for others to follow up, as he deletes necessary   
   and proper attribution lines. I restored Lesher's attribution line so   
   that other readers can tell who wrote what. For the 4,274th time, I tell   
   Levine that he MUST NOT post a followup in which my words are quoted   
   without including a necessary and proper attribution line.

   I guess I should have checked that Web site, for this vital information wasn't   
   on Amtrak's nor Newark Airport's sites. NJT abbreviates Newark Penn Station   
   as NPS and doesn't use Amtrak's abbreviation NWK; great. But this fails to   
   explain how passengers who haven't paid the surcharge on the advance purchase   
   of NJT or Amtrak tickets would pay to board the shuttle buses to Newark Penn.   
   Honor system that they'll use the vending machine?   
      
   I called 973 961-6000. I was told that there are vending machines outside   
   the air terminals to pay the fee to take the shuttle bus to Newark Penn   
   Station and to buy NJT tickets, but not Amtrak tickets.   
      
   They should have come up with one comprehensive brochure shared by all   
   agencies to give vital information to all passengers using Amtrak, NJT,   
   and PATH instead of splitting it up like this.

   NJT bus routes go28, 37, 62, 67, and 107 continue to operate.
