I don't think it does? I was there fairly recently, and I recall that the layout was fairly confusing. I think there were two sets of exits from the Airtrain area into the subway fare zone, one that cost $10.75 to swipe, and one that had a set of turnstiles for $8.00, then an exit, then separate $2.75 turnstiles (so that you could use a monthly/weekly Metrocard if you had one). It was somewhat confusing, and I wouldn't blame you if you went the wrong way, but I suspect that's what happened.

I didn’t see it when I was there today. Maybe they got rid of it to rip people off on purpose. I just walked to aqueduct because I wasn’t going to pay $11 for the A train. And the shuttle is free or at least it should be since I wasn’t charged when I took it.

The Airtrain shuttle? That’s definitely not free. It’s $8. And I’m quite sure that the MTA hasn’t decided to close subway entrances to trick people into entering the Airtrain instead (if for no other reason than that that fare goes to the Port Authority, not the MTA).

Again, I think you just messed something up. It’s understandable, it’s a confusing setup they have there.

Then…I know how to ride it for free. Also, it should be free since Newark is free.

Newark’s isn’t free either. It’s built into the price of a NJ Transit train ticket. If you take the NJ Transit train to that station, there’s a surcharge you pay when buying the train ticket.

Yo, I’m just riding shit for free and nobody says a word but here’s the thing I don’t take the NJ transit. Free!!
