<icontent>     Two of us will be landing at Newark airport on Wednesday evening at 7p.m. and going to stay at Bibi&#39;s Garden b&amp;b at 762 Westminster Road Brooklyn, please could anyone give me some advice on different ways to travel there?     I&#39;m assuming a car the whole way will be the most expensive and possibly that it will be slow due to traffic however I&#39;m happy to be corrected. I&#39;ve thought about getting the PATH train to World Trade Center and a cab from there, would that be too convulted in practice?    Many thanks.   </icontent>

<rcontent>     If you want to take the path you would have to take New Jersey Transit one stop to Penn Station and the path would be right accross the platform. Then in New york I guess subway.   </rcontent>

<rcontent>     These questions come up frequently and the most salient information necessary for giving you a good answer is often missing. Is cost important to you? Is the convenience of door to door service more important to you?    My guess is that a private transfer will be well over $100.00 USD (and with the declining exchange rate that isn&#39;t as cheap as it was last summer). I would strongly advise against a Newark taxi because the odds of them being able to get you to an address in Brooklyn without getting lost is slim to none. At least with a prearranged car (Allstate, Dial 7, Carmel) they&#39;ll map it for the driver and the driver may even have a GPS device (most of the sedans have them, taxi&#39;s don&#39;t)    You can do this quite easily on public transport. The Newark Airport AirTrain / NJ Transit combination is extremely fast and very efficient. The trains are frequent, the trip is fast, the cost is minimal, the trains are comfortable and very safe, everything is clearly marked, there are no long tunnels or desolate areas in which you might feel uncomfortable or could get lost. Very modern, we even have escalators and elevators.    $15.00 per person will get you from inside the Terminal at Newark Airport to New York Penn Station in under one hour.    At New York Penn you can simply walk one block along 34th Street (along side Macy&#39;s) from Penn Station to 6th Avenue. At 6th Avenue you can get the Downtown and Brooklyn bound Q Express train to Avenue H.    Walk west along Avenue H to Westminster Road, take a ride and voila, look for 762 Westminster. The whole thing will cost $17.00 per person and you won&#39;t have to worry about whether the driver gets lost, whether traffic is backed up for an hour going into the Holland Tunnel, whether there is an accident on BQE (there always is). You won&#39;t have to worry about all the tolls (NJ Turnpike, Holland Tunnel, Brooklyn Battery Tunnel).    Just so you know, you have options, choose whichever one sounds best to you.   </rcontent>
