Might help if you tell us how close those are (miles/time/whatever your using to determine closeness)
According to Google, it is a 0.6 mile walk between the two stations. The stops are four minutes apart on the timetable.
How about North Philadelphia and 30th St Sta
4 miles. That is already one mile more than Newark Penn to Newark Airport (at 3 miles). There is of course Berkeley to Emeryville at 2 miles too. There are a few 2-3-4 miles in the Surfliner Corridor too I believe.
It was a joke.
Sure enough, Google maps shows the walk to be 0.5 miles - so we have a winner by 0.1 miles.
I have on a couple of occasions ridden the 17 miles and 32 minutes between Seattle and Edmonds. My sister lives near Edmonds and on those occasions I first rode to Seattle from Spokane, spent a couple of days in Seattle, then rode up to Edmonds. The price of a ticket is much less than Uber or Lyft. In 2024 the light rail system in Seattle will extend to Seattle, which will eliminate that short run for me.
Sounds like the 'mileage runs' people used to do to qualify for elite status on airlines, back when they used to base elite status on miles instead of dollars. Never did it myself, though I did once sit next to a guy who was doing two round trip cross country flights in a day for miles.

I think I was on that flight once. I don't remember if it was UAL, but I flew them a lot in those days. I was working in the East Bay (Hayward, IIRC) and was flying in and out of SFO for some reason. I knew my flight home to Boston was a direct one-stop flight, but I didn't know where the stop was. From the hotel, I drove by the Oakland airport on my way to the San Fransisco airport, dropped off my rental car, checked in at the terminal, sat down at the gate and looked at the big sign. My jaw dropped when I saw the one stop was in Oakland! If I had known, I would have slept an extra hour or two on going home day, and returned the car in Oakland (about 45 minutes closer to my hotel, given the big loop south, across the bridge and then north to SFO) and the 1 hour or more later departure from Oakland. I still laugh when I think about it.
