On May 17, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey began the implementation of PATH’s most significant service enhancements in 25 years for the 118-year-old system. The changes were announced as part of the Port Authority’s $45 billion 2026-2035 Capital Plan, which was unveiled in November 2025.

With PATH’s new “Every Line, Every Day” service, all four PATH lines will be available on weekends between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Riders will benefit from increased capacity with direct service on the Hoboken-World Trade Center, Journal Square-33 St and Hoboken-33 St lines.

The changes are the latest in a series of service improvements spanning weekdays, evenings and weekends following the completion of the Port Authority’s $430 million PATH Forward modernization program.

“This is a momentous day for all of us at PATH after a years-long effort to improve service for all our weekday and weekend riders,” said PATH Director/General Manager Clarelle DeGraffe. “A heartfelt thanks to our customers who’ve shown remarkable patience on that journey, and a promise that our commitment to keeping the system running reliably, safely, and faster is resolute.”

Now, direct Journal Square-33 St weekend service will operate every 10 minutes between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. Direct Hoboken-World Trade Center weekend service will operate every 20 minutes. Direct Hoboken-33 St line weekend service will operate every 10 minutes.

The changes as of May 17 mark the first time since 2001 that all four PATH lines operate seven days a week. Additionally, PATH will operate every 20 minutes during late night Fridays until 2 a.m. on the Journal Square-33 St via Hoboken line, consistent with Saturday night service frequency.

Earlier in spring 2026, PATH reduced weekend wait times on the Journal Square-33 St via Hoboken line from 20 to 10 minutes between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. PATH also increased service frequency to every six minutes from eight during weekday morning rush hours between Hoboken and World Trade Center.

The enhancements were enabled by work completed during the two-year PATH Forward program, which modernized the 118-year-old system through service and infrastructure highlights, including: replacing more than 15,000 feet of track; installing three new rail switch systems; upgrading the Hoboken, Exchange Place, Newport, and Grove Street stations, including floors, tiles, ceilings, and drainage and electrical systems, among other work; upgrading rail cars and improving their reliability; and improving customer communications and support during service outages to accommodate extensive track and station work.

Other improvements to PATH customer service include the addition this month of unlimited 1-, 7- and 30-day pass options on the new TAPP Card. Paper SingleRide tickets are also available for purchase from TAPP vending machines in stations, alongside the existing lineup of 10-, 20-, and 40-trip products. Passes and trips can be added online or at any TAPP vending machine in stations.

SmartLink SingleRide tickets are no longer available for sale, and PATH will end unlimited pass sales on SmartLink in stations and on the SmartLink website for all riders except reduced-fare customers, who may continue to purchase those fare options until May 31.

PATH riders can use SmartLink trips and their SmartLink balances through fall 2026. PATH will notify customers when all remaining SmartLink trips and balances must be used as SmartLink balances cannot be transferred to a TAPP Card.

More than 80% of PATH riders already use TAPP to pay their fare.
