For a place which is super liberal and claims to be working on accessibility, the PATH lifts that I’ve seen are unacceptably bad.
For those that haven’t seen the lifts, you have to hold a button for a solid 3 minutes to have the lift slowly come down from the station. I just witnessed a wheelchair bound lady who needed to get bystander help to hold the button since it took so long and so much effort.
I timed it and it took almost 7 minutes of firm button presses to get out of the station. There is no reason for this and it’s a huge problem for the people that actually need to use it

For the umpteenth time: the city of Jersey City has NOTHING to do with PATH. They have no say or control over what the Port Authority chooses to do, or not do, with regards to PATH stations or operations.
If you HOPE to have your voice heard, direct your complaints and rants to the Port Authority of NY and NJ.
