Insanity! I've never seen a train so packed in my life. People literally were fighting to get on.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2004/09/27/penn_station_shut_down.php#comment-31456 http://www.gothamist.com/2004/09/27/penn_station_shut_down.php#comment-31456 Comments Tue, 28 Sep 2004 09:05:31 -0500 <p>This completely blew! My co-worker and I rode the W train to Cortlandt Street, then took the PATH to Newark. PATH was honoring NJ Transit tickets, but they sure weren't advertising the fact. If I hadn't asked a worker standing nearby, we would have had to pay the fare. Then no NJ trains were running from Newark as of 5:30. I hitched a ride with 2 guys who got a car service to pick them up in Newark. I ended up getting home 1 1/2 hours late, and I was one of the lucky ones.</p>
