Reply to comment by Direct_Ad18 in I really wanted to like Jersey city but something just didn’t click here for me. by [deleted]

As someone who lived in the City* of Chicago for 18 years, traveling at least 1-2 times a year through MDW and ORD if not more, JC to EWR has always been faster and cheaper via Uber. (Separately, I think the security at EWR is also faster). Not to mention even licensed taxis in Chicago have tried to rip me off in terms of fare.

*Differentiating here from a suburb that happens to be near the airport. City proper.

I think the Chicago comparison is missing info because Chicago covers quite a large area. Vast majority of places in Chicago will be much longer to the airport compared to JC/EWR

Security at EWR is by far the fastest out of every airport I've been to. Everything is seamless. I'm not exactly a world traveler and I'm sure there's better out there, but I've been to at least twenty airports in this country and half a dozen international ones.
