   Back when I used to make this connection, before the EWR train station, the   
   dedicated train-station-to-airport bus cost $2.00, and the regular city bus   
   to the airport was (IIRC) $0.75.   
      
   Most of the people taking the station-to-airport bus were airport   
   employees, and most of them were connecting from other buses or PATH. I   
   suppose that when EWR station opened and the dedicated bus went away, most   
   of its riders lost their express service.
