How long does the airside shuttle take from Terminal A to Terminal C at Newark International?
How long does it take to get from terminal A to C at Newark International on the airside shuttle? Arriving at Terminal A on United at 7:00 am and departing from Terminal C at 8:20 am on United. I am disabled and I walk with a cane. Some have suggested that I use the cart service but does that mean going through TSA again? I have no idea how long that would take. Thanks.

This map from United is the best overall map I have seen of Newark. Then there is the official airport map.
From the United map you can see that the airside bus departs from terminal A2 and ends up on the right hand side of Terminal C. From digging into the official map the bus seems to depart from near gate A28 in terminal A2, and arrives near gate C73 in terminal C
There is no mention that I can find of the duration and schedule of the airside bus. However I did find this video on youtube that is of the actual bus ride. The video is only 1 minute 17 seconds long, but has been edited. My best guess is that the trip itself is less than 10 minutes, and you could also be waiting for up to 10 minutes for the bus itself.
You mentioned cart services. In the accessibility part of the official airport site I found
Electric Carts - Specially designed electric carts are available at Terminal C for disabled passengers. These carts are available upon request from your airline to transport you from the check-in area to the ticket counter and then to the departure gate during operating hours. For more information, please call your airline in advance.
Given the size of Terminal C it may make sense to try and book ahead at least for that part of your transfer - but I don't know if they will pick up up from the bus. I am surprised that there is no mention of carts in any other terminal, but I would ask about Terminal A, as it seems to be a long way from either A1 or A3 to the bus departure point.
And there is no mention of Terminal to Terminal cart services. But I think you are correct in that you would have to leave and reenter the secure areas - which would be something of a last resort to do.

No, 1 hour is not remotely close to enough ahead of an international flight. EWR is a busy airport and has a lot of delays. The smallest delay in the first flight will cause you to miss the connection. I'd want two hours or preferably three just in case.Newark Airside shuttle bus from Terminal C to Terminal A

Answer 2
Yes I just took the bus inside security - hard to find by gate c71. If coming in on international flight though you will probably still have to go through security again so might just take the train to correct terminal.
