    This place gets aggressive in the mornings when piling on. Get as close to the platform as you can and try to memorize where the doors usually stop. In the winter, you can above under heatlamps.

    The Hudson News stand within the concourse has a really well-stocked selection of both national and international titles!

    Stay away from the edge of the platform so you don't get hit by the incoming train or bus.

    Use CooCoo and PathAlerts for schedule and delay info... But always try to be early! I've missed many trains because they left earlier than the schedule suggested and missed later connections...

    Elevator access is super helpful if you have heavy luggage and can't lift it easily over the turnstiles. If one escalator is off, usually one on the other side is going up.

    After inserting your ticket, trains to NEWARK and Harrison are on tracks 3 & 4 while trains going to 33rd Street, Grove St., Newport, Columbus and World Tradr Center are on tracks 1 & 2.

    Don't lean to the outside of a crowded car when you have a door spot. If there is space for 1/2 person between you & your doormate, some bunghole will manage to squeeze into it.

    If your ultimate goal is to catch a NJ transit train going to trenton - Stay in the 3rd car from the front of the PATH train. At Newark you'll be right in front of the turnstiles that take you to the

    Learn where the train stops to be the first to the stairs. Sometimes, the wait to the stairs and escalators can be ridiculous. SMH lazy people.

    Everyone says there're no trash cans anywhere underground, but they forget about the deli/cafe across from Duane Reade, before the escalators to the PATH. There's a few receptacles in there

    During rush hour, it's still the fastest way to Newark. I don't care what others say. On the weekends you're screwed though. Use the rail then. It will be an off peak fare too!

    If you have luggage or a bike, take the elevator from the platform to street-level or the concourse.

    Very little places to lock up your bike, so if you're on a schedule, give yourself sometime for parking.

    If you want to play musical chairs, wait for the train from WTC to come and race to the 33rd train with other people to grab a seat. :)

    If you're really in a rush, skip the long lines and buy a 2 trip metrocard from the blue vending machine. Its a lot more convinient!

    When there are delays and the platforms jam packed people act like animals and cram themselves in an already packed train. Always Indians.
