Getting to Prudential Center
New Jersey Devils · Newark, NJ
Prudential Center is two blocks from Newark Penn Station, which is served by six NJ TRANSIT rail lines, more than two dozen bus routes, the Newark Light Rail and PATH — and PATH runs around the clock. From Manhattan it is about 25 minutes to the World Trade Center in the evening, which makes this one of the easiest arenas in the country to reach from another city.
Tips & Fan Reports
Follow the red jerseys or signs for the Gateway. Hang out on Edison by the bars where there will be lots of people. Pro tip - bring a few beers with you if that is your thing and save your cash for inside.
From 33rd Street allow 40 minutes and a change at Journal Square; the World Trade Center is a direct 25.
PATH runs 24 hours, so a late finish is never a problem getting back to Manhattan or Hoboken.
Newark Penn Station is two blocks east of the arena and carries six NJ TRANSIT rail lines plus PATH and the light rail.
Over 3,500 parking spaces sit within two blocks if you do drive.
Coming from Broad Street Station, take the Newark Light Rail one stop to Newark Penn.

NJ Transit’s own "ALL STATION FARES TO / FROM PENN STATION NEW YORK" chart: Penn Station Newark is Zone 2 at $6.30 one way, $12.60 round trip (Secaucus, Zone 1, is $5.05). The stored $5 was below the cheapest zone on the chart. PATH is $3.25 and Newark Light Rail is "Base Fare: $1.90" from NJ Transit’s fares page, both confirmed earlier in this pass. The rail entry now names where the rider starts, which is what made it checkable at all
