Newark has a United-only secure-side transfer bus and a separate public-area movement between the AirTrain Terminal A station and the terminal building.
Where to start
Check carrier eligibility before boarding a secure bus. The Terminal B stop described in the source is drop-off only, so don't reverse that movement automatically.

Changes and service warnings
Check the effective date and the current operator notice before following a saved route.
AirTrain rail-station segment disruption

What remains to confirm

These records can’t tell you whether your bag is checked through, whether you may enter the country, how long the queues are or whether you have enough time to connect.
