How to transfer from JFK to Newark using public transportation?
In a couple days, I will be flying into JFK, then I'll have to catch a connecting domestic flight at Newark. The duration between scheduled landing at JFK and departure at Newark is 4 hours and 50 minutes.
The public transportation option I could figure out is :
- AirTrain to Jamaica Center
- E subway line to Penn Station
- NJ Transit train to Newark Airport station
Another possible option is :
- AirTrain to Jamaica Center
- LIRR to Penn Station
- NJ Transit train to Newark Airport station
As I did not find clear information about doing this transfer, which of both is the most practical and cost-effective? Is LIRR that much faster than the subway?
Also, can I buy a single ticket for the whole route or do I need to buy another ticket at Penn Station for the remainder of the trip?
And lastly, given the available transfer time, can we plan hanging out in NYC maybe for 30 min - 1 hour or should we better head straight to Newark?

There's also an option of a direct shuttle connection. ETS Air Shuttle has scheduled minibuses between JFK and EWR. The cost is $32 each way and, depending on the traffic, it takes 60-90 minutes. It may seem expensive, but it's a direct terminal to terminal connection without any additional transfers or requirements to drag your luggage around.
