The re-opening of the Path Train at the World Trade Center will be marked by NY Governor Pataki and NJ Governor McGreevey at 2PM tomorrow, with free rides until midnight. The governors will ride in a train that was the last to leave the WTC Path station on September 11. This station will accept Metrocards at turnstiles, except weekly and unlimited cards. Additionally, since this is station at Church Street is a temporary one, there is no heat or air conditioning, no concessions, and or advertising. A permanent station will open in 2006.

"Heat or air conditioning?" Sweetheart, we're talkin' about a PATH STATION. The only time you get heat is in the summer. Last winter, the P.A. had to spread salt on the Grove Street station platform to keep people from slipping on the ice.
I don't want to hear it, Sterling! You're moving to Richmond!
I wonder if they will have garbage cans or benches in the new stations. I remember garbage cans. Ah, the good old days.
I endured the Port Authority for seven long years, Chung. In the early days I would complain about the appalling incompetence and decades-unremedied problems with the stations, trains, and infrastructure.
But then something happened: I grew to accept each challenge the P.A. threw my way as an opportunity for self-improvement. Did I complain as I watched the PA take five years to install a handful of television monitors on a closed circuit system? In 1997 I watched workers partially install the monitors. Years went by as I watched workers uninstall the monitors, then re-install and leave them idle for a year, then uninstall and re-install them again. And the status updates flashed on the monitors today? So inaccurate as to render the monitor system useless. And somehow I doubt the seven advertisers who buy time on the network make up for the five years of union workers doing, undoing, doing, undoing, and finally doing the job.
So I wasn't complaining - I was boasting. I have endured everything the Port Authority has thrown at me, and thrived.
