I've been to this train station a handful of times and I'm grateful that it exists. This is my new go-to "path" (get it) for commuting to the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. I used to go to Times Square then transfer to the NJ transit or Greyhound in order to get to Newark. When I come here, it's easy to get a ticket. Now you're able to use tap-and-go to enter the station. Typically I don't wait too long for the train to arrive, however, going back the wait ranges from 15-25 minutes unfortunately. Although I don't come here often, my experience is overall a decent one. read more

It was fast and efficient. It's totally worth it! I got to Newport in no time. Although the train was crowded, it ran often. The place is clean and very efficient. I recommend it if you are in a rush and don't want to pay an expensive Uber. read more

This is the nicest Path Train station I've ever stepped foot in. It is in the Oculus! All white marbled everywhere! I'm not a regular Path train user so the many turnstiles were a bit difficult for me to get used to. They used the Smart Link and it costed me $5 instead of a $1 metro card. Kind of pricey. Or they have the option of TAPP, which I need to get into.... Besides that, they have so many turnstiles that slide open or you have to push to get in. Sometimes my smart link card did not work and the turnstile did not work at all, leaving me some anxiety. The trains were kind of difficult to get used to. They do not have signs at all in the platform so I was lost to death. Then I realized that the stops for each PATH train are at the mezzanine by the staircase. Did not even realize that at all because the whole time I had to ask around on the platform! Now I know so that's good! Path trains got a short route too! They also take forever to come. Wish they had more trains on the tracks! read more

The new construction for WTC path station is just incredible ! It just is mammoth . Superb amazing architecture . Lots of trains from here . We are from NJ and we love the trains to downtown from Newark . There is not much of help available though. Lots of walk inside . When we went , the escalators didn't work and no one to help fix it . It's a huge escalator and we had to manually step down and it isn't easy . Parents couldn't walk down the stairs ! Also the ticket machines are in one corner and I wish they were spread across .. 4 stars for the architecture and cleanliness . read more

It's nice here. A better redesign, but nothing like the old. It's easier to get to from multiple locations. They have a mall full of stores to shop and a bathroom for guests that seems to stay clean. I don't see too many guards or security walking around but I'm sure they are there. Throughout the year they have special events happening here. They have Omni or tap and go options along with some machines to buy or refill your card. The path train itself is a remodel with tighter seating but more volume so that people can pack them selves in like a closet full of shoes. Good one lol. It's definitely cleaner so that's a plus! Anyway a thumb up for me! Happy Yelping read more

I don't want to be too generous to a station that has the standard PATH issues in addition to fare machines that have stolen at least $40 from me (still awaiting that refund!). But it seems fair to give credit now that I've actually verified that the theoretically existing bathroom is real, albeit with limited hours, and wasn't that bad. Given the "Exchange Place Shuffle," the countdown clocks are helpful here, when they work. The late-night and weekend schedules remain deplorable. read more

Improving slowly on the shops, still a bit messy for traffic flow as it's broken up between levels, no fast way up/out. Clean and there are signs for the train times. Would be better to put those up by the entrance so you can tell if you need to rush at all to any given PATH or subway line. read more

The WTC PATH Station is the direct byproduct of the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan post-9/11. Unlike the stereotypical dreary nature of most underground subway or PATH stations, this station resembles the light and airiness of some of the recent public transit stations such as Hudson Yards & the 2nd Avenue Subway stations. The other obvious benefit is the ease in which you can access Oculus, any of the WTC buildings, Fulton Center, Brookfield Place, etc. without ever having to step foot outside. I think that's probably the most underappreciated aspect of this station. Anyhow, you probably know which trains pass through here too. I think this station serves its purpose. read more

Large train center where lots of rail comes together and it's attached to the Oculus, which is a really cool building/mall/venue! It's really close to the World Trade Center and within a block of most places in that area from underground. read more

On my most recent trip to NYC, I actually stayed in Newark. So for the first time, I caught a PATH train over to New Jersey via the World Trade Center Station. One way fare was $2.75 and was very convenient being able to pay by Google Wallet. Just at the top of each escalator heading down to the platform, there were signs telling you the destination of the train. Since this was the start/end of the line, there's no reason for anyone to get on a train heading in the wrong direction. This station had to be one of the cleanest that I've seen in the States. read more

This is a beautiful station. Not the easiest to figure out as far as which stairs to go down or how to connect to the subway, but beautiful. They finally installed tap to pay entrance gates, along side the old metro card option. No more having to run back and add money at the machines. For the first time, I went towards the R subway train signs (it's not actually close by), and found remnants of the Twin towers. Glass flooring covers an open section of removed columns. It's quite sobering. I was coming back from the Liberty Science Center today and saw a perfectly bent beam from this site at the Skyscraper exhibit. To be standing here 2 decades after the collapse is wild. I do use the Oculus station often as a hub, because there's so much going on in this area. Always something new to see and do. read more

This structure is a transportation hub and is the hub on the PATH system. The Oculus was built for somewhere in the 3 or 4 billion dollar range is an interesting concept. There is some retail within it so you can look around or just people watch for that matter. The is a track that is like a loop so the train can turn around but the structure is what is really eye catching to say the least. read more

This is a newly renovated station not too long (maybe in the last 10 years or so). The station is clean. It stops right in front at the World Trade Center. It is also one of the busier train station because it services many lines. The entrance is connected the Westfield Shopping Center. This is also one of the busier stations in NYC. I love the artwork on the wall at this station. read more

PATH Train World Trade Center Station - Train Stations Near Me - New York, New York

Of all the PATH stations, this one is by far the nicest. You enter through the oculus which is a beauty. No matter how busy it is, it always feels airy and bright. There's nice shops, a few places to grab a bite, clean bathrooms, and strong AC. The downfall of this location is that the trains and scheduling can be confusing, and some lines stop altogether on the weekend. But I guess that's more of an NJ Transit issue. When you have to wait for your train, this is the best place to do it! read more

What a subway station! The Calatrava design is so modern and beautiful - it is a picture moment for sure. Definitely a great rainy day option or any day really. Eataly and Lady M are great additions to Tower 4. read more

PATH Train World Trade Center Station - Train Stations Near Me - New York, New York

World Trade Center Station is a fairly nice station which includes multiple subway and PATH services (into NI), I would say it is by far the nicest and most modern station in the PATH network, of which I found stations to be rather poor, disorganised and disgusting as you can see from my specific station reviews including Newport. The Westfield World Trade Center mall is also within the Oculus building so it is not only in a good location for the World Trade Centre, but it is also within a good location for catching services on the PATH and Subway networks to continue your trip around NY and NJ, and even the rest of the country and world depending on where you get your first service too. (For example, you could get the subway into Penn Station to then go onwards to other US destinations including Washington D.C and JFK) I do think the subway having so many different station names when they basically all interlink within the Oculus is pretty confusing, and I do feel having more detail regarding which lift/platform is for which area on the PATH is a must, as I had to ask a staff member and even then I was confused. Surely having a list of the stations along the line you can get to from each platform, on the lifts and the platform its-self would be so much easier - this is something which MTA don't appear to think of which seems to be so common in London and co. This is probably one of the only stations in the entire NYC network, with an exception of Jamacia perhaps which seemed clean, modern and not hideously bad, and while I say it'd be average at best to UK standards, it does feel impressive and it is one of my favourite stations in NYC to warrant four-stars. read more

Simply one of the most modern and beautiful transportation centers I've ever seen. I understand it doesn't appeal to all, but visually, it's literally unforgettable. I was here the other day during rush hour, and even then, as I stood on the upper levels watching the commuters snake in and out, I was awed by how smoothly the flow of people moved throughout the building. There is plenty of security here, so that actually made me feel a lot better. Finally, for someone like me who is not used to public transportation, the signs were very visible and easy to follow. Seriously, very impressive and so so clean. read more

This is the train experience which of course we all know the trains are old and of course it is hot down here Donis sometime train open the doors get in with in a minute and you're out to where you need to be anywhere in the city. Definitely cheaper than driving with the current gas prices. Make sure you pay attention to your metro pass to ensure we need to two hour time limit for a single ride. read more

Simply amazing architecture. I just took photos and just was in awe of the place. When I lived here years ago (prior to 9/11) this was my station stop on the PATH train while I was in Jersey City, but I never paid much attention to my surroundings. If I lived here now and came into the city, it'd be hard just getting to work. Just beautiful. It's like you're in the ribcage of a giant whale. I didn't see it from upper levels but I could see plenty of folks up there staring and taking pictures. Well done NYC. read more

As a tourist I like that I could stay in Newark and have easy access to NYC. My group was staying in Newark for a Devils/ Ducks hockey game, and used our down day to go into NYC. Going to the World Trade Center was on our agenda. This particular visit, staying in Newark was actually beneficial because the PATH picked us up from the Penn Station Newark and dropped us off at the last stop: World Trade Center! Cost: $2.75! Currently its still being worked on, so there's construction in parts of the station. I did like that this station has an elevator and more ramps than stairs, which made it easy for my friend who had difficulty using stairs. The multiple choices of long escalators leading to the outside was nice, too. Once outside you can turn left or right to get to the World Trade Center. We started going right, but found out it was faster if you took a LEFT upon exiting. read more

This one is pretty simple. The station is new. The station has you covered with plenty of escalators. Lots of MetroCard machines if you need to refill/reload. Lots and I mean lots of security everywhere that you can see let alone what you cannot. Lots and I mean lots of people everywhere making it almost like a perpetual rush hour. All things considered it was pretty nice and one that we'll use in the future many times. read more

PATH Train World Trade Center Station - Down escalator into the station - Train Stations Near Me - New York, New York

It is the fastest way of commute for me from my place to work. I commute through here every day. The frequency of the trains is high specially during peak hours.Their is some construction work going on since last year so they close few stations during weekends and give you free 2-day ride subway card to travel instead. This path station is well maintained and all the staff members are always very helpful. It is underground, a lot of stairs to get out of it but its a good exercise in the morning :) There is a route between this station to fulton center, you dont have to get out its just an internal transfer passage which is very convenient in winters. read more

Santiago Calatrava was one of the most popular architects in the world. However, in the past five years, he has become an architect that folks love to hate. There is justified criticism regarding the cost, maintenance and repair of a number of his projects in various countries. He's in good company: a number of Frank Lloyd Wright's designs were not immune to the same complaints. Commuters and general detractors will mention the hefty $4 billion price tag, the stairs aren't wide enough, there isn't a store that sells fill-in-the-blank and on and on. Okay, got it. I hear you. With respect, I look at it differently. The changes that have occurred in this area since 9/11 have been astounding and it's still a work-in-progress. The above-ground changes scream 'never forget' and are bathed in security precautions. As this station, too, gets closer to being a finished product, for me it's less about the initial nuts-and-bolts than it is about being the only post-9/11 development that makes an attempt to uplift the soul. Calatrava is also a sculptor. (He had a small exhibition at The Met not too many years ago.) This station, with its massive skylight (or oculus) and elegant wings speaks to hope for the future. read more

Very busy station, even a couple of hours after the rush hour should have been over. But seriously, is the in-your-face security really necessary? A guy in full camo fatigues with an M-16? Exactly what is that supposed to be preventing? The station is super clean, but they do need better signage to announce which PATH trains are going where? I walked down the first set only to find that it was not going to Newport. And it would be nice if the platform was a little wider. I'm not a huge fan of standing right near the edge with a big crowd of people behind me, know what I mean? Good escalators from street level down to the ticketing concourse, but I didn't see the elevator clearly marked to get from there down to the platforms. The station itself is quite clean with very little trash scattered around. The ticket vending machine works well enough, especially for a tourist like me who has never worked it before. $2.05 for a one-way ticket is a pretty good deal. Oddly, you don't get to retain the ticket after passing through the turnstile. Most other systems I've ridden expect you to hang on to the ticket for an inspector to prove you bought a ticket. read more

Try cool mall. Just to see. Didn't go shopping. High end stores but the structure is a sight to see

I always walk through here going to my job every morning. It has a lot of metrocards machines & lots of military that guarded the area. So it feels safe walking their morning or night time. Most of the time especially rush hours this station is packed since people from jersey that works in nyc use this station. On a winter time, to avoid cold weather its good to walk through the underpass and the exit is at brookfield place battery park city. E train is just 2 minutes walk from this station too. I just love that they built the walkway underpass because I don't have to sacrifice walking in a cold nyc weather. read more

When I'm jonesing for a taste of Jersey, the PATH is my go to connection to JC, Hoboken and beyond. I like that there are TVs on the platform while you wait and that you can still get internet connectivity so I can check out Grindr, I mean Gawker. There seems to be an anti-PATH bias among some of my friends but I don't think they realize how easy it is to get to JC, especially from Lower Manhattan. read more

1 star for a few reasons. 1. Being that they have not upgraded their form of paymw transit fee to Apple Pay when 33rd Street has. It's 2024, wtf are we waiting for. 2. If the ATM machines are down and you have no cards/cash on you and need to replenish your metro - DO NOT ask port authority for help to get you through the turnstiles. They are heartless aholes that don't care and tell you to, "find another way home". 3. Update your damn form of payment for transit. read more

To New Jersey! Sunday morning pressed against time to an appointment where the PATH Train System was undergoing a full blown drill by Port Authority Police. AIJA!! To make matters worse no trains operates on weekends from World Trade Center to Hoboken whereas strap hangers must find other mediums to reach their destination. For one-way fare of $1.75 strap hangers can cross states for a whole another world. There are no signage on platforms to direct strap hangers to their final destination or how to make connections at Exchange Place. Having to seldom utilize the PATH Train System, I have very limited knowledge of where to connect and what township for geographic location, though willingly from Good Samaritans, one will not be the parable of the lost passenger! There is no information boot in this path to one's journey. There are NO receptacles for passengers to properly dispose litter anywhere on the platform! There are also no Port Authority staff to direct strap hangers as you're fending for yourself in the land of New Jersey!! read more

I think this is the most interesting and beautiful building I've ever seen. The structure on the outside looks like the skeleton of a Phoenix. On the inside, the place is a clean bone white, and there are raised platforms on both side, built for taking in the full beauty of the structure from high up. This makes for excellent shots. There are a bunch of stores inside the building, they are all pretty pricey and fancy. I don't think there is food inside here, but I could be mistaken. The place seems too clean to have food in it, I don't see any wrapper or bottles lying around. I enjoy every chance I get to pass through this station, from getting off the path train to the subway. Definitely a place to see, as a New Yorker or tourist. read more
