Travel alternatives to consider as Hoboken PATH station closes for 25 days
HOBOKEN, N.J. (PIX11) – Extensive renovations at the Hoboken PATH station have forced it to close for nearly a month.
The purpose of the 25-day closure is to finish work faster instead of taking a year to complete with interrupted service, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The closure is part of a two-year, $430 million PATH Forward program to improve rail service reliability.
Thousands of riders will now have to rework their daily commute. Here are some travel alternatives to consider while the station is closed:
PATH customers can take the New York Waterway Ferry from Hoboken to New York.
A free shuttle bus will operate 24/7 between Hoboken, Newport and Exchange Place stations.
NJ Transit will increase the frequency of the 126 bus.
Commuters who travel to Exchange Place or Newport stations can connect to PATH, which is adding service.
Commuters can also take the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail between Hoboken, Newport and Exchange Place stations to connect to PATH.
The station is slated to reopen on Feb. 25.

Protesters in NYC rally against the Trump administration's travel ban
LOWER MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — Protesters and activists took to Foley Square to push back on the Trump administration's travel ban, now in effect. They tied last week's terror attack in Colorado to the ban, saying it's necessary to preserve national security and prevent terrorism. More Local News The ban specifically bars entry from Haiti, Libya, Chad, Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen, Somalia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Equatorial Guinea. It further restricts travel from Cuba, Venezuela, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Laos. Protestors say the ban unfairly targets Black and brown people and will separate families from loved ones. 350,000 New Yorkers were born in countries targeted by the ban. The ban will not revoke the visas previously issued for countries on the list. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
