Thank you for riding NYC Transit - PATH TRAIN - (Photo of the Day)

Today I ventured out to New Jersey and I saw this sign and thought -- ah, I'm leaving my city...

This is the walkway on 34th Street to the PATH train...

Did you know? .... For $1.75 you can take a ride and be in another state? Yes, you can wander around Hoboken for $1.75 (btw, great place to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and only 14 minutes away!)! Or, if you were me, take a ride to the Newport station.

Its a rather easy and quick ride, especially since you are entering another state -- it took me less than 20 minutes to get to Newport (excludes waiting time for the PATH Train). I was told that during the weekdays, especially during peak hours, the PATH trains come every 4-5 minutes, and during non-peak every 10-15 minutes and off-off-peak every 30 minutes. That doesn't sound so bad (click here to check your destination/schedule). Of course waiting times are longer on the weekends... but again, if you are living in New Jersey and commute into the city, its not that bad.

So, for $1.75, or $3.50 round trip -- its not a bad way to spend a day venturing out in another state! Happy travels...
