Who do you think owns the station? Lefrak? Come on. The PA also owns the "park" next to the dog run by Duane Reade. You can tell since it only gets mowed about once every six months.

Actually, the area immediately around the Newport PATH station is owned by the Port Authority, not Lefrak. So, Newport security has no authority there. None.

Are you insane? Just because other forms of mass transit are bad doesn't make PATH nirvana.
I have riden PATH now for 12 years and it continually gets worse. In all this time PATH has NEVER increased service. Never. Every time a new schedule comes out, service is being reduced. The JSQ to 33 via HOB on the weekends was only temporary while the 9/11 memorial was being built. Well, it's been done for a couple of years and PATH will never go back. They are the worst!!! Quote:

Thanks, but they're not trying to bill themselves as long term rentals. They can be booked like a normal hotel room on hotels.com, booking.com, etc. With AirBNB, you know you're staying in someone's apartment. These people are making it seem like you're in a hotel. As more and more of these pop up, the less apartments are available to be rented. This is just wrong.
I'm sure by doing this is a violation of the apartment's lease, but I guess Lefrak, etc just look the other way since they are getting their money. Quote:

Illegal hotels?

---|---|---|---|---|

I have friends who were looking to get a hotel in the area and I did a search and I found that there are some ?hotels? in the Newport area and along the waterfront that are actually just apartments. It's not on listings like AirBNB and the like. I found them on hotels.com and other regular hotel sites. Is this legal? I'm concerned that by reducing the available apartments like this will only drive up rents.
Feel free to check it out. An example of one ?hotels? is called Sky City.

I hate to say it, but PATH isn't doomed and they know it. People will still be living here and the population is just going to keep going up. It's cheaper to live here and the PA knows the trains will be full. They don't care if we're crammed in like sardines. I really doubt they ride the trains. I'm sure they've figured out what interval to run the train so even though it's packed, everyone gets on. They know there aren't many affordable alternatives.

Agreed this more than just Teddy.
However, I have a much different view of him. One day, a few years ago on a weekend, I was on the train coming from 33rd street and we were doing the turn around at Hoboken. While we were waiting for the train to depart, Teddy comes on and is getting set up to start his con. Another guy who is standing next to him realizes that the jabber is about to begin and he lets out a sigh. Teddy hears him and starts going off. Starts getting into it with the guy about how he has a right to be on the train, etc. What a jerk.

As far as shutting down the 33rd street line, I don't see why they would have to do this. During the overnight, the trains run every 35 minutes. They only cross paths in Hoboken. So, that means they only need one tube to run the trains from Hoboken to 33. They can just go back and forth on the same track all night long leaving the other track open so they can do their work. They can work on it every single night seven days a week. Will they do this? Oh, hell no. They'd much rather inconvenience thousands of people instead.
Also, with the upgraded signals, that means they can run the trains more frequently. Will, they do this? Oh, hell no...again. I have been riding this system for 12 years and every time there is a new schedule, there has always been a reduction in service. Not once....NOT ONCE....has there been an increase in the frequency of service. At least 12 years PATH has been doing this. They just keep crammin' us in and raising the fares. Also, the weekend JSQ to 33 train going through Hoboken was billed as a temporary thing while the 9/11 memorial was being built.

I must be in the minority, but I couldn't stand Teddy. He hustled people and was generally obnoxious. After a long day of work, the last thing I was to hear is his con.

Is it possible that PATH can go one day...ONE DAY...without the system being messed up in some way? Everyday I generally get at least one PATH Alert about something going wrong.

12/2/2014 1:53:02 PM Due to a track condition, Path trains will operate 20 minute around the world service with en route delays. PATH can now take us around the world.

Did you see the PATH alert that this Sunday that the JSQ-33 via HOB train will be on a 20 minutes schedule until 3pm? Really? Since they went to a 12 minute schedule, people are being left behind at the stations because there is no room. Really PATH???? You increase fares and then keep dropping service. #PATHetic

Just FYI...the fares for PATH increase to $2.75 on Wednesday. So, if you have a smartlink card, you should really max it now before the fares go up. I believe the maximum you can put on the card is 140 trips.

In the article she writes, "Even women early in their pregnancy, who aren't yet showing, should be given a seat on trains, she said."
Ummm. How are the other passengers supposed to know a woman is pregnant when she isn't showing?

No. I would have used the ferry it was even close to being competitive with PATH. Right now I can get in and out of NYC and use MTA and PATH for the same cost as a one way trip on the ferry. I don't know about you, but I'm not independently wealthy.

Also, I think the PH ferry is run by Goldman Sacs. I think it's free for their employees.

The fare was $8 each way, but if you bought a 10 pack of tickets, it was only $80!!! Wow, a 0% discount!!! Even the morons at PATH throw you a bone with a discount on the smartlink card. So, it was $16 round trip and if you wanted to bring your bike, that was an extra $1 per trip.
Again...buh-bye ferry.

My apartment overlooks where the ferry dock was and AT BEST 10 people boarded each time run. No one used it.

What is the story here? The few people who took the ferry from Newport now have to ride PATH? Big deal.

The ferry was impractical. It was way too expensive. A one way ticket cost as much a 3-4 trips on PATH. Plus, it dumped you at 39th street in Manhattan and from there the bus service NYW provided was limited and slow. You'd still have to pay MTA to get anywhere.
Buh-bye ferry.

I just drove in from Manhattan and there is NO ICE on any of the roads there. Then when I drive through the tunnel...it's like a third world country driving around here. Why doesn't the city just ask NYC to borrow some salt and we'll pay them back when the shipment arrives?

Why does PATH keep closing one of the two ramps that lead to the platforms? This makes a huge bottleneck and it doesn't seem very safe if they would have to evacuate the station.

The PATH fares go up tomorrow. So, be sure to fill your smartlink card to the max before you pay more tomorrow.
