WTC station is again PATH's busiest

Railway Age, March, 2004

PATH's temporary World Trade Center station has again become the busiest station on the system, two years ahead of projections. Built at a cost of $566 million, the station opened on Nov. 23, 2003, replacing one destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the station averaged more than 30,000 weekday riders between Jan.

15 and Jan. 31. The bistate agency had expected weekday ridership to initially average 18,000, rising to between 20,000 and 30,000 the first year, and reclaiming its position as the system's busiest weekday station by 2006. Those goals were achieved in the first two months.
