What is PATH Transit?
The PATH, known as Port Authority Transit is a 13.8 mile (22.2 kilometers) long [[rapid transit]] system in the northeastern New Jersey Cities of Newark, Harrison, Jersey City and Hoboken and Lower and Midtown Manhattan in New York City. It is operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. PATH trains run around the clock year around; four routes serving 13 stations operate during the daytime on weekends while two routes operate during weekends, late nights, and holidays. Its tracks cross the [[Hudson River]] through century old [[cast iron]] tubes that rests on the river bottom under a thin layer of silt. It operates as a deep level subway in Manhattan and the Jersey City/Hoboken riverfront; from Grove Street in Jersey City to Newark, trains run in open cuts, at grade level, and on elevated track.
