The Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH) opened its first new platform at the World Trade Center (WTC) site in Lower Manhattan on Feb. 25. The fully modernized platform—with new lighting, speakers, illuminated signs, escalators, and elevators—serves the Hoboken line. The completed WTC PATH Station will be the center of the new WTC Transportation Hub, which will open in phases through 2015. PATH Director/General Manager Stephen Kingsberry called the opening of the platform “the start of a great thing for all PATH customers and the Port Authority family . . . a glimpse of the future of PATH’s service at this site.”
