PATH Station – Hoboken

Came here once to go to a restaurant within walking distance. Able to look at the whole train station.

It’s a subway platform. Fairly clean, you know, for a subway platform. Not a lot of garbage, in fact, they do not even have garbage bins to throw out trash. How is there no garbage anywhere? Good work cleaning crew!
Trains are usually on time. Always curious about the infamous «we are being held by a train traffic or signal ahead». Subways were supposed to avoid traffic, and not be stuck in traffic.
But the Hoboken path station. Just fine.
I decided to give it 4 stars because they built up a lot of bars nearby. And a DD right here too. Lots of police so feel pretty safe. And the workers are nice when/​if you have questions. Go NJ !

Very clean (for public transportation) and I really haven’t experienced much in terms of service interruptions fortunately … any minor delays /​issues seem to be quickly resolved, from what I’ve seen.
However — the Hoboken station in particular seems to always have EXTRA aggressive morning commuters. Men AND women dropping shoulders to shove themselves onto the train before NYers can exit at this stop. (NY subways seem calm and peaceful in comparison — ha — and I’ve been using the subway for over 10 years in Manhattan)
I was annoyed the first 20 times as I couldn’t even get off the train before being rushed by these NJ line-​backers going into blitz mode. Being polite and trying to remind people to allow us off first is a joke. So now it’s like a competition — I’ve nearly perfected my shoulder-check…I’ve got any woman under my 5’9″ taken care of. For the rest, and the men who think it’s cool to knock into me, I’m back at the gym … so bring it.

As far as train stations go, this is one of the cleaner stations in the NYC metro area. The PATH cars in particular are always well air-​conditioned and informative, with TVs inside displaying pertinent information.
They have a Wells Fargo ATM kiosk and I believe they are in the process of getting a BOA one, too.
Schedules are always posted clearly on the monitors and trains are generally on time. Overall, a pretty good train station.

That Chinese food is so bad — why do I keep buying it. Hard as a rock — basically candy. The meat inside is not real. What would one expect from this restaurant it’s a god damn Chinese restaurant in a train station. Should of gotten a dog from the bar.

It’s a train station that has a store, bar, and food! it is close to other stores, bars, and food places… literally across the street.
Would give 5 stars if the crew salted the ramps. Mighty slippery! Don’t rush down them to catch the train!

Large station in the South of Hoboken, complete with four exits and so you can get directly to the train station or step out close to the water and the Lackawanna building or out over by the taxis (2 entrances) and buses. Transit hub, simple, but crowded, and the machines don’t always work well for dispensing single-​rides, and it flooded out back during Hurricane Sandy.
Lots of foot traffic, it’s pretty popular. Wish there was a station in Weekhauken or North Hoboken, too. Also could be more handicapped-​friendly.

Ode to the path train
This is one awesome place of as well as a slice of modern day americana… whatever that is supposed to mean.
When I visit relatives or relatives or friends in Joisey, this is one place that I may frequent.
It is very efficient.
From here you could take a train to 33^rd street in less then 15 minutes for $ 2
and be at Spring Street in Soho in less then 6 minutes if my memory serves me correctly.
There are not that many stops from Hoboken to 34^th street.
I remember stopping at this one place outside this station that has wet t shirt contests between Thursday and Sunday Nights. I promise It’s a classy place :).
Now you know why my love affair has not stopped with the PATH station in Hoboken.

In the morning, I get up, crack of dawn. Snooze. Up? Snooze. Up? Snooze. Shower — food — coffee, if there is time. Is there time? No, probably not. Do I make time?
Trek the stairs — unlock the bike. Ride.
Hello, Hoboken PATH Station. Which stairs will I take? Whichever ones are closest to where I lock my bike up, that’s where.
Oh look, a paper. Metro for me? WSJ? No thanks, I will read my information digitally, so long as I suck up that Verizon signal before I walk down those stairs. Once inside, the VZ circle of death shows no mercy.
Train? Already there! Track 1 track 2 track 1 track 2… who knows.
Up, in, bing bong, out. Adiós.
— work —
Hey again, PATH. Which doors are going to open first? (Hint, left… usually)
Take the stairs to my bike, or the stairs & ramp to the light rail.
See you tomorrow, friend.
Embrace the heat and crowds — stand in front of a fan and watch some TV if you have to wait. Know that the majority of stations in NYC are not as clean, «ventilated», and certainly do not have any entertainment for your wait.
Plus, you are in Hoboken. If you don’t like being in the train station, I say turn around and hit the bar. Grab a slice. And hit the bar again.
Also —- the elevator seems to be working again. I have no need to take it, but after listening to announcements about it being closed because of the hurricane for the last 7 or so months, I feel an unconscious need to ride it.

I thought I’d throw a little love in the direction of my beloved PATH station since it has recently reopened after Hurricane Sandy. Oh little PATH station how I’ve missed you. A big thank you to the workers who tirelessly labored to get the Hoboken stop back up and running. It’s back and I love it. We’re all so happy.

A cruel experiment in commuter patience.
The ride is a swaying, boozy mess, as trains swerve, come to sudden standstills or screech comically around turns.
By midnight the schedule slows to 30-​minute intervals, though it might as well be three hours. Welcome to a wasteland of happy-​hour refugees, dozing fitfully, dry-​heaving or both.
Still, trains run all night and the new cars are a welcome (if long-​overdue) upgrade.

I don’t know what it is about the PATH tubes into Hoboken, but they make me miserably carsick each time I have the displeasure of taking them. It lurks and jerks and speeds up and slows down and winds and turns and UGH. The 33^rd St train runs via Hoboken on weekends, but I will go far out of my way to avoid putting myself through that misery. I will gladly take the PATH to WTC and take the subway or walk up from there — ANYTHING to avoid this hot mess of a track.
The station itself, however, is a vast improvement compared to some of the other dumps the PATH will lead you to. The columns have a nice, fresh coat of blue and there isn’t trash all over the place. However, I’m usually too nauseated at this point to actually appreciate the cleanliness. I just want to hear «Stand clear of the closing doors,» and be on my way.

So glad it’s back up and running after getting clobbered by Hurricane Sandy!
Makes its super easy to travel from Manhattan into Hoboken within a few minutes. Trains are clean and modern, while the station itself is actually well maintained. Totally worth it for $ 2.25 a trip.
There are many terrific bars, restaurants, and shopping in Hoboken and the PATH train is right there. Also, it was perfect timing that they re-​opened this station right in time for the Jersey Unilocal Elite party I went to the other night at Maxwell’s.
Divine intervention or does Unilocal have a direct line to the powers that be? Who knows, but it was perfect timing!

I don’t know why there are this many complaints. It is quite hot down there but it is underground. The names of the subs are properly displayed and any and all delays are announced.
it is quite hot though.
Also, it connects to NJ Transit, a short basically free transfer to Secaucus, the Hoboken Light Terminal, and otherwise. Don’t see the major issues.

It’s a train station — what’s there to expect?
It’s pretty cool for one, though. Much cleaner than a lot of those subway stops in Manhattan. The PATH cars are pretty cool too. They have little TVs playing and the air conditioning is pretty reliable.
It’s safe. Coppers are usually around, but it’s in a bustling part of Hoboken… Doesn’t really lead itself to any kind of crime. I’ve taken this train at 7pm, 7am, 3am, midnight… all sorts of times, all sorts of different days.
Make sure to text the Coocoo number (it’s 266 266) to see what your train schedule is looking like. They let you know what the delays are too. Pretty nifty.

this place is my car. gets me to parts of Jersey and NY
I remember long ago there were Tokens and wooden turn styles…
you couldn’t use the metro card as we do today
1.rst need to use your cell?.. ok pay get in stand by the Phone booth area and you have service and you can watch if your train to see when its coming
2^nd in the morning i learned when going to Newark from the Hobken there is a transfer point in exchange place
What you do is when the train pulls be ready to be at the 2^nd TV and that positions you so when get to exchange you can HAUL ASS and reach the Newark train

A very well maintained train station on the Path service line. It is fairly clean and is always bustling with people. This station is part of the Hoboken Terminal which one of the major transportation hubs.
This station provides connection to nine New Jersey Transit (NJT) commuter rail lines, one Metro-​North Railroad line, NJT buses and private bus lines, the Hudson-​Bergen Light Rail rapid transit system. It is probably one of the most busiest stations on Path. One might encounter some drunken characters on this station who can’t handle the booze from the bars in Hoboken.

Dayum.
Its like the cool kid/​varsity/​frat/​sorority lunch table of PATH stations.
Every chick is blonde, dope and makes loot (or has a daddy who makes loot).
As a sociological experiment, I took the PATH from 33^rd st to Hoboken for approximately 2 hours during rush hour to see how many beautiful babies rode this horse.
Geezus…the gene pool in Hoboken is off the meat rack!
:wipes xy chromosomes on PATH seat:

Fairly clean station and trains. This particular station consist mostly of working class people. It’s pretty safe. PAPD are always at the station.
Be aware that on weekend evenings/​late night, the locals tend to be overtly drunk and do the stupidest things. If you’re bored at home, this is the station to be at to witness the shenanigans.

The PATH train is a pretty good way to get into Manhattan if you are living by one of the stations. They are fast and usually on schedule with their published times. The trains are about as clean as they will get for a train and the same goes for the stations. But you are not there to do fine dining, your just there to get somewhere.
The trains go to a multitude of destinations. There is a station on the south side of Hoboken that will take you to 33^rd Street, as well as Newark and other stations in between. They offer a 24 hour service, however the number of trains running decrease at night and the routes vary. I would highly suggest checking the schedule if you plan on being out later than 10:00pm.
Overall I gave the PATH train three stars because of the convenience it offers to get into Manhattan, the on time schedule, and the speed as to how fast you can get to your destination. It gets the job done.
