Thanks, PATH

[jethrien]

You know what's awesome? When the PATH stops running at 9 on a Saturday night.

After examining numerous other plans (ferries? Not running. Buses? Can't find a reliable schedule. NJ Transit? Goes to Newark, or possibly Hoboken through multiple connections for which you can't get schedules in Penn. Also, leaves the problem of being stuck in Newark or Hoboken. Begging for crash space at trinityvixen and feiran's? Cats, and also not quite that desperate yet.), we finally ended up paying $60 for a cab to take us across the damn river. And felt grateful that we had the money to do so - I suspect there are a lot of people who were on that PATH train who don't have that option.

Bleh. Oh well. I'm terribly grateful that we didn't take NJ Transit to Secaucus and find out that there was no way to get to Hoboken from there after all (which was considered). I'm home, it's warm, I'm grateful.

Still kind of pissed, though.

Really? The PATH just brought me home fine at 11:30.

Looks like it was only a problem on the 33rd St line. Looks like it was a good thing I decided to wait for a 2 train at Penn Station instead of walking over to Herald Square. That sucks for you guys, though!

Eeek, that sucks! It always surprises me how crossing the Hudson is such a big deal in New York City whereas if you go to upstate New York it's no wider than the Charles and you don't have to pay any toll to cross one of those little bridges.

When we were at 33rd, we were informed that everything, including WTC, was down. Of course, this may have all resolved itself two hours later when you came back. But we had no assurance it was going to do so, so we didn't want to wait there all night...

Yikes! What happened to the PATH?

Gross.

For the record, though, you're totally welcome to crash space with us anytime you need it. :)

Signals went out.
