Been here in DTJC for 26 years, the PATH Train is a nightmare as far as crowding goes. It's only going to get worse. Lets review, the trains go in on one track and return on another. Any train that goes into 33rd Street has to be turned around and so all but one of the inbound trains have to wait. They cannot increase service. If they had a circular route then it would be easy to increase trains.


I ride the PATH every weekday from 830-9. It's not a nightmare. If there's delays, yes the trains are very full. And some times I can't get on the first train that gets by. But it's not a nightmare. Enough with the histrionics.

Ever talk to someone who rode the 4-5-6 or L? You'd be begging for the PATH.

That being said, the PATH could be so much better than it is and it's clear that the service is what it is now because they don't care about serving its riders.


if a briefcase up your butt for 30 minutes to 33rd street is not a nightmare then I don't want to know what kind of nightmares you have...

This wasn't directed at me, but I'll chime in anyway. I live in the Heights, so any trip into Manhattan below 23rd Street (which I do daily for work and usually once a weekend) involves an NJ Transit bus and PATH. The PATH is by far the best part of my commute - they arrive when they are scheduled to, and the occasional disruption due to equipment or signal problems aside, operate reliably and on-time 85% of the time.

By comparison, NJ Transit buses to-and-from PATH almost never keep to the printed schedule, arrive in groups of 2 or more after long waits, usually because they get bogged in JC or Hoboken's interminable, out-of-control traffic, resulting in a trip that is supposed to take 13 minutes taking 45 minutes or more.

The PATH is not without it's problems, but as someone who is dependent on the regions other, dysfunctional transit option, I am surprised by the animus expressed towards it.


like i said, increasing costs, decreased service, and horrible communication do not make for a good system.

I am, I've taken the PATH for years. I take it nearly every day, including during rush hour.

I don't see a huge difference in crowding. There are many times during the morning rush hour when one 33rd Street train will be packed to the gills, and the next one (5 minutes later) has plenty of room. Evening rush hours do get bad when there are delays, otherwise it's not that crowded.

PATH certainly isn't perfect, but it isn't anywhere near as horrifying as people suggest (with the exception of abysmal communication). What can I say, I simply don't think my life is ruined because a Saturday train ride takes 5 minutes longer than it used to.


you can't see it is more crowded than in previous years? are you kidding me?

Either you do not take the PATH, work for the PATH, or you are traumatized by the briefcase rape you have experienced on the PATH everyday.

PATH communication is horrible. A 3 year old communicates better than the PATH.

If the ferry were to lower their rates in half, I am sure they would increase revenue by 800%.

The trains are so crowded during rush hour that it is INHUMANE. In fact, I am certain that pigs that are transported to slaughter are treated more humanely than people during rush hour path trains.

re: JC compared to Hoboken

You're comparing what are literally order of magnitude differences in city size (1.3sqm / 15sqm). I'm sure a more accurate comparison worthy of assessment would be all of downtown to Hoboken.


Exactly. Bad journalism strikes again.

Hoboken is really just one neighborhood like a Harlem or a Tribeca, even though it's, legally speaking, a city.

My DTJC home is up almost 60% in value since I bought it 3 years ago.



How is this a reflection on the quality of the journalism if the report that the story is based on only looks at municipalities as a whole?

I clicked through to the report - it is nothing more than a massive excel table. The reporter, clearly looking for an angle to hang a story on, compared the 2014 data for JC and Hobroken with the 2004 data and that was his way in turning a dry spreadsheet from a state agency into a general interest story that generates clicks.

If anything, this is a (very rare) example of imaginative reporting by the JJ. The people moaning that "good journalism" would have been a comparison between DTJC and Hobroken property values are complaining because they want to read a different story to the one being reported.

If that is what you're after, there are a ton of real estate websites and tools (zillow, trulia, streeteasy, etc) that will allow you to configure a search comparing condo price appreciation between Hob and DTJC. But I think it is unfair to shit on this guy's work because his story is not the one you're interested in reading.



I'm shitting on his work because it is meaningless. A person doesn't choose between NYC, NY and Messena, NY. Likewise, no one in their right mind is choosing between DTJC and Greenville. It's a stupid comparison and I have every right to shit on his work.

JC is as homogeneous as the state of New York.

Comparing all of JC to Hoboken is worthless. We all know that where property prices are increasing (DTJC) and where they are decreasing (greenville) so can we have a neighborhood to neighborhood comparison?

It's like me buying a very old car from someone an being forced to maintain the look of the car. Didn't I just buy the car?

Let's take an example - Dixon Mills. Does the community really lose anything if DM would of been torn down? Besides feelings of nostalgia, what does it really do for you to save a building ? Those pencil making jobs are gone, the industry is about to be gone, and just by preserving the building - it's not like you preserving the story of Dixon Mills.

Now let's look at the cons of doing that - for years, DM was a leaky and rat infested building not because it was not well maintained but because you forced developers to use a 100+ year old building for living space...

Time changes, life becomes more efficient. Take pictures (do it on your polaroid if it it makes you feel better) but to leave an old building and force it to change with the times is dumb. Save a plank or something and put it in a museum.


If you don't understand something, what makes you think you're qualified to comment on it?

Dixon Mills doesn't have problems because it's old. It has problems because the developer did a cheap shit job.



Umm, freedom of speech? Good job addressing my points.

Re: Does JC need a bsuiness-oriented library?

Not sure why all my posts about libraries are being deleted but let me say this again:

People need libraries like they need typewriters. It is better to spend money on homeless shelters than libraries - of any kind.

If you're talking about a space without books then we are no longer talking about libraries in which case I agree with you - there needs to be a modern community space that is well maintained that DOES NOT allow people to just sleep in (as is the use of many libraries now). Equipped with modern technology.

Books are pretty useless and the city spending any money on books is a waste of tax payer money.

The sense of entitlement on this board is a joke. It's no secret the Port Authority sucks but that goes way deeper than PATH trains. I'm so sorry you have to ride a 10 min crowded train, cry me a river. Better yet, take a ferry, uber or drive. Otherwise get over it.

If the PATH and Jersey City are so doomed, do us all a favor and move. If any of you clowns think that the trains in Brooklyn or Queens are any better, then the joke is on you. Pick a day and try to ride the L, F,4,5,6,A,C,1 just to name a few. The L from Williamsburg is so packed it makes the PATH look empty. Same goes for the F train that also manages to break down every day. The A/C are so crowded and dirty, it makes our WTC line seem clean. Not to mention the A/C will be shut down for weekends for the next year for Sandy repairs. Sound familiar?

WTC line is back on weekends, and the ferry is continuing so the options to get into the city on weekends actually just improved. When the 33rd line gets shut down at some point next year on weekends, it will definitely be inconvenient. The silver lining is WTC hub will finally be open and we'll be able to connect indoors to just about every subway line via the Fulton Hub. So the temporary headache will really not be that big of a deal in the long run. The work needs to be done so deal with it or leave. Complaining on a little message board won't accomplish anything.


Supporting the PATH is like taking a bite of the most delicious bite of food you ever tasted and then finding dog crap in it....you are surprised and disgusted...

You should save all that money for something even more important - like your education.

Are there age limits to primary education? If not, go the public school route - it will be free. If there are age limits, I will donate to a fund which lets you complete primary school.

Some other facts:

Police did not warn Eric Garner that they were about to take it to another level - they just went from trying to grab his hand to chokehold in less than 5 seconds. A "Please do not resist arrest or you will be taken down forcefully" would have been nice.

Also, Monroe, as usual, is wrong. Garner is clearly on the ground from :48-:51 and STILL in a chokehold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1ka4oKu1jo

Hands behind his back already for another few seconds after :51 yet police hands on his head pushing his head down while he says "I can't breathe."

It's hard to watch the video. Why mention obesity Monroe? The medical examiner, who knows far more medically than you do and probably ever will, says death was not due to his asthma. People should now die because they are obese?

Monroe, at the end of the day, it must be hard to be yourself because although ignorance is bliss, it must also be painful to speak out of your ass.
