HOBOKEN, New Jersey (PIX11) – The Hoboken PATH station has reopened after nearly a month of renovations, so what’s new for New Jersey commuters?
PATH riders may notice some aesthetic upgrades to the platforms but there are also multiple changes to the network that are expected to improve commutes.
Station enhancements include refurbished platform surfaces, replacement of steep, narrow staircases, fresh paint on station walls, ceilings and columns, as well as new tiling, lighting and signage.
