"It is amusing how people complain about JFK not being a "one seat ride" but no one really complains about Newark."

They don't complain that much. Don't confuse the foamer nonsense that you read here with the real world.

In Newark you have two different transit options involving rail:

1) NJT or Amtrak + AirTrain to your terminal
2) PATH or Newark City Subway to Penn Station, then NJT #62 bus to the airport

The second is cheaper than the first but it is slower. I've done both.

My one reservation about option 1 is that while rail service is frequent, you can be standing on the platform at the airport rail sytation waiting half an hour for your commuter train, and if amtrak comes by they obviously won't honor your NJT ticket.

I don't remember whether an Amtrak ticket holder can get on an NJT train if the NJT train shows up first. I've never asked NJT that question.
