Memorize the spots where the train doors open so that when the next train arrives you can be the first to get a side seat.
NWK-33rd St. Train directly in front of you if your on NWk - WTC Train.
During AM rush, between 7-8 front of train to WTC usually has seats in first three cars.
Yoli OuiyaMay 31, 2011No bikes on the trains during rush hours monday-friday. Bikes allowed at all times during the weekend and holidays.
Please have your Metro/Smartlink out BEFORE you reach the turnstiles.
The women riding the trains are the worst...they'll push you out just to get a seat.
Rinna EscamillaApril 23, 2010Anyone else notice there are no trash cans in the station? From the moment you step anywhere in the plaza all the way down, not a can. Make sure you throw anything away in the cans on Bergen or Sip.
Marcos VelezMay 27, 2011Don't waste your time waiting for the train! Look up the next departure with http://nextpath.info. Quick and easy.
Hold your nose here. It can get pretty stinky on a friday night.
Bring noseplugs especially when train is full with Indians
In the winter, sit upstairs just past the turnstiles under the heatlamps while waiting for trains. Your body will thank you!
On weekdays for the 33rd st train: Christopher st-last car 9th/33rd-front car 14th/23rd-middle car.
Be prepared at 3 am Monday the fare will be increased to $2.25
Track 1 Newark to WTC Track 2 Journal Square to 33rd St (change at Newport for Hoboken service) Track 3 arriving 33rd st Track 4 WTC to Newark
They don't like trash cans here. There are none. They prefer you just toss it wherever you want!
Bansri BhattMarch 12, 2012There are literally NO garbage receptacles...throw your trash away before you even go near the station! Also, remember to shower everyday.
You snooze, you lose when it comes to getting a seat.
There are two different 87 buses going opposite directions, sometimes on the same platform 5 minutes apart. Be careful!
The trains here are great/evil. They leave on time when you're running late but leave late when you need to be there on time.
The monthly Smart Link card saves so much time in the morning.
WTC usually leaves before 33rd street. Both go to Grove, which is good to know when it is cold and your train isn't here.
Tracey ZuestMarch 4, 2012Anyone no if have to pee your going in your pants unless you have an extra cup
One of the banks of escalators from the plaza to the street level isn't working. Be prepared to climb the stairs.
There are no trash cans for a reason...u ever notice how clean the path train is??? Most likely because no one can bring anything on the train
Gabriel SaucedaSeptember 9, 2011#Sept11 7a-11a NWK-WTC terminates at Ex Pl. Take JSQ-33 (via HOB) to NYC Subway for travel to WTC during this time.
Avoid being bitten by the mentally unstable by quickly darting into the next available car.
Paolo SotoOctober 29, 2011Skip Deli Plus in the PATH Station- too expensive and crappy service by some of their employees- there are better and cheaper delis in the PATH station and around Journal Square!
Trains are pretty much always on schedule. Reliable transportation!
Dave KupratisAugust 3, 2011For anybody complaining about there be no garbage cans anywhere in the stations it's part of their policy. Read up on it. Your not even supposed to bring drinks although I still do
Another day of living like a New Yorker without actually being one.
Frequency of trains after 11 pm and on the weekends is low.
Pretty boring and somewhat scary. Not really anywhere to go or do. Just a weird station.
Did you notice...there's a PathAlert every 10 minutes. What's going on with the Path these last few weeks??
- "Hi everybody. This is Teddy from the Bergen-Lafayette Coalition of Feed the Homeless..."
Stay toward the rear cars if you don't wanna be overly crowded and uncomfortable.- Don't forget to subscribe to PATHalerts...they can spare you time out in the cold.
