Rapid Transit
The Journal Square PATH station opened on April 14, 1912, as the Summit Avenue Station of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad. Currently it is served by two lines of the Port Authority Trans Hudson, being the terminus of the Journal Square – 33rd Street route. At the platform level, the inside tracks are typically used by the Journal Square – 33rd Street trains, while the outside tracks are used by the Newark – World Trade Center trains.

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or transit:
“In a time of confusion and rapid change like the present, when terms are continually turning inside out and the names of things hardly keep their meaning from day to day, it’s not possible to write two honest paragraphs without stopping to take crossbearings on every one of the abstractions that were so well ranged in ornate marble niches in the minds of our fathers.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
