Are those just for ads? I thought maybe the pillars behind them were undergoing some sort of (admittedly half-assed) renovation.

If those giant walls are just billboards, that is seriously effed-up.

Nope. They've been up for weeks. Probably close to a month?

Thanks for the old news. I guess it was a slow day in finding something to bitch about.

Well, without looking at the story, I have to assume it is because these two individuals are really talented, have real leadership skills, and knows how to do a turn around of failed companies.

In addition,I bet these two individuals have shown a track record of being thrown into a tough & completed f*cked up situation and/or companies, and still be able to quickly realize the issues at hand, identify proper solutions and execute necessary changes that will bring improvements to everyone affected by such failed companies.

With the right underlying capabilities, people can pick up industry-specific experiences while they're on the job and still perform and/or outperform someone from inside the industry.

For example, while I do not know these two candidates, I bet if they were to throw Elon Musk on the job (even though he has no direct transit experience), he will be able to transform PATH to nothing that we know of it today.

Probably nothing... Besides the issues associated with the PA, you have unions to deal with at PATH. Have you not witnessed the disgraceful, utterly unbelievable situation of escalators at both Exchange Place and Grove St. Against all possibilities, and plausibility, a portion of those escalators are down for repairs and maintenance on a regular basis, almost weekly. How in the world is it possible for escalators to break down SO OFTEN?

Not a marxist nation, but equally corrupt. Also, you can't possibly compare the cost of acquiring land, project building, on going maintenance, and such, in Medellin vs. NYC. I love it that people take an example of something somewhere and somehow expect the same thing to be magically possible elsewhere.

Tell me, do you think it would be feasible to see polar bears running free and happy in an African dessert? After all, they roam freely up on the North Pole.

It will never happen in NYC. The cost of securing/expropriating land, coupled with construction and subsequent maintenance, will make it a prohibitive solution.

You can paste the link to Bolivia as an example, but that is a Marxist Communist banana republic with a kook for president. Much like Venezuela, they have crazy policies that artificially lower the price and cost of these systems. When you look at any other country with these systems, you quickly learn they become a novelty and/or tourist attraction due to their high costs. People complain about paying $2.75 for a PATH or subway ride. Barcelona (Spain) has an awesome cable car system that works in a similar manner, and it costs 9 EUR one-way, or 12.50 r/t. The cable car in London is almost $3 and it is a tiny distance. No one in NYC is going to want to pay $15 a day to cross from BK to Manhattan, except for a tourist, maybe. Heck, the NY Waterway is a MUCH NICER alternative to the PATH, and it doesn't have to invest on additional infrastructure and it costs a ton of money when compared to the PATH.

Honestly, right now, it might take an extra two minutes for me to get to my office with Grove -> WTC -> 2/3 over taking the 33rd St train directly, and that's with having to go above ground at WTC. When you can just walk through THE OCULUS, it will probably be even faster.


yup. the only thing that keeps me from doing WTC > A/C is that extra $2.75

I agree the best solution is for both cities to have extra frequency, but the recent change is a logical solution that doesn't cost any extra money and should be applauded, not cried about.


To be fair, she's a Hoboken politician. She's supposed to do this.

I'm pretty sure they added more every-4-minute JSQ trains to times that were, before, every-5-minute, but couldn't be sure since I didn't have the old schedule handy and I have a late enough work schedule to (thankfully) not hit the absolute peak of rush hour.

The changes only apply from 7:35 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., and were implemented in order to decrease wait times at Jersey City stations, which have been experiencing "significant platform crowding issues" due to "high growth and ridership," he said.

Zimmer should shut the hell up. I hate how this article is written to make it seem like we have to apologize to Hoboken for having the gall to make them wait one whole extra minute for the PATH.

The Hoboken trains are always nearly empty in comparison to the Jersey City trains so I think there should be even more of a service shift.


Zimmer should shut the hell up?? Where is she griping about service moving to JC. The PA hasn?t even specified what additional service JC is getting now (if any). The only thing she quoted about would benefit us too?

"We should be talking about adding more capacity, yet the Port Authority cut rush hour service by 14 percent overnight with no public input?It defies all logic...Enough with the service cuts, enough with the short-sightedness. Let's invest in a 21st century transportation system that will truly support our growing region."

I hope she speaks up some more, and hopefully Fulop does too.


Yes, she should shut up. She's loudly complaining about the recent change to the PATH schedules that increased 33rd street rush hour frequency to all JC stations. If the reporter is correct, she wants it reversed, which would harm JC. And it's discussed right in the article, not sure what you missed.

Previously, 33rd rush hour trains to JC came every 5 minutes. Now they come every 4 minutes. Apparently, that extra minute in frequency came at the expense of Hoboken, who has long enjoyed far superior service to JC (their trains are always less crowded). She should appreciate how great Hoboken has had it compared to JC and put a lid on it.

The PA has absolutely specified additional JC service, it's all in the schedule. For instance, the every-5-minute trains now start a little earlier and end a little later for both morning and evening rush hours. Of course it's not enough, though.

That said, I agree entirely, and it's obviously time for some new ideas. PA is spending all this money upgrading stations (sadly, not the most useful ones) from 8-car to 10-car - why not make the switch to articulated train cars? You could run longer trains with existing stations, not to mention use all that wasted space between cars (probably increasing the usable space by 5-10% without adding any length at all). They might even be able to run some trains express (say, stopping only at Christopher and 33rd) as long as they could coordinate the turnarounds properly.

Hudson County as a whole (including both Zimmer and Fulop) needs to be aggressively pushing this sort of thing to all agencies involved. Unfortunately, there are three of them, and none of them are solely concerned with the needs of Hudson County residents. That's a problem. But there are solutions. Adding a Hudson County north-south ferry line run by NJ Transit, maybe even subsidizing ferry travel in general? Increasing light rail service and speeds? Figuring out some way to get these agencies to work together so that taking the (higher capacity, lower crowding) WTC PATH and connecting to the subway doesn't have to double monthly commute costs? All these things could help.

Some passengers at Hoboken Terminal will have to wait a little longer to catch a PATH train to New York, and they can blame overcrowding in Jersey City for it, Port Authority officials told NJ Advance Media on Tuesday.

Passengers headed to 33rd Street from Hoboken now must wait seven minutes between trains instead of six, since Port Authority extended wait times in late April, said spokesman Steve Coleman. The changes only apply from 7:35 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., and were implemented in order to decrease wait times at Jersey City stations, which have been experiencing "significant platform crowding issues" due to "high growth and ridership," he said.

Zimmer should shut the hell up. I hate how this article is written to make it seem like we have to apologize to Hoboken for having the gall to make them wait one whole extra minute for the PATH.

The Hoboken trains are always nearly empty in comparison to the Jersey City trains so I think there should be even more of a service shift.


She should go to the Christopher Street stop during evening rush hour to see how jam packed the JSQ trains are compared to the Hoboken trains.

Having to wait an extra minute is nothing compared to having to let a train or two go by because you can't cram your self on a train.

Hell, sometimes, I'll just take a nice walk up the waterfront if I get ready earlier than normal.

Ironic, though, that the development of Journal Square might get rid of some of the car -> PATH commuters.

I miss working in the city but I don't miss the rush hour commute.
