"There is some good news in the proposal: for the first time in 25 years, PATH hopes to run every line, every day. Once the agency completes its multi-year PATH Forward rehabilitation program early next year-expect new tracks, upgraded switches and station refreshes-the system will start rolling out a whole new set of long-requested improvements. By next March, weekend service on the Journal Square-33 Street line will double in frequency and, by May, Hoboken riders will have dedicated weekend trains to the World Trade Center and 33 Street for the first time in more than 20 years. Friday nights will also be easier to travel, with trains running every 20 minutes rather than the current 40-minute gap."
"On weekdays, Hoboken-WTC service will run every six minutes during morning rush hour and Newark-WTC will run every four minutes during peak hours by 2027, thanks in part to a beefed-up fleet and nine-car capacity expansion that was completed last year. Weekend service on Newark-WTC and Hoboken-WTC will also improve to every 10-15 minutes."
"All of this is the result of rider feedback and a system ready to carry more people, more often. September 2025 was PATH's second-busiest month since the pandemic and weekend ridership now exceeds 2019 levels, most days."
PATH plans a major service overhaul beginning next year alongside annual fare increases of 25 cents through 2029. Completion of the PATH Forward rehabilitation early next year will yield new tracks, upgraded switches and station refreshes. Weekend improvements include doubled Journal Square-33 Street frequency by March and dedicated Hoboken weekend trains to the World Trade Center and 33 Street by May, with Friday-night trains every 20 minutes. Weekday peak service will intensify, with Hoboken-WTC every six minutes and Newark-WTC every four minutes by 2027 after fleet enhancements and nine-car capacity expansion. Weekend headways will fall to 10–15 minutes, supported by rising ridership.
