To get to both the Bound Brook and Bridgewater stations, your friend will have to take a NJTransit train on the Raritan Valley Line. From NY Penn Station he would have to take either a NJT train to Newark, or the PATH train to Newark. From Newark, they can catch the Raritan Valley line. The Bound Brook Station is right on Main street in Bound Brook, however the Bridgewater stop is kind of behind the Commerce Patriots Baseball Stadium (there is a target across the street).
How long does it take to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 by AirTrain JFK?
what is the best way to get to penn station from JFK? i'm hoping for a subway or train. preferably something on the cheaper side, but no bus.
Just take the AirTrain from your terminal to the Jamaica station ($5.00 fare) and hop on the LIRR (Long Island Railroad) right into Penn Station...
I would like to know if there is a bus connecting JFK airport to Macarthur airport.

Board the A line subway at 34th St.: $2
Transfer to the AirTrain at Howard Beach: $5
You will probably need to transfer A lines at Euclid Av.
You want to continue in same direction; ultimate subway (not you) destination is Far Rockaway.
You should buy a $7 card at 34th st station.
