In fact, one of our photographers was stopped last night on the PATH line.

Loss of the PATH line two years ago delayed the opening by a year, he said.

By November 2003, just before the PATH line reopened, it had reached 65,000 a day.

In 1998, the PATH lines had a net loss of $184 million.

"There are 12 operating jurisdictions in that very small patch of landscape, connected easily by the PATH line."

She said this delay has pushed some deals west to Newark, the next stop on the PATH line.

Ten years ago, one could walk from the PATH line to Amtrak without going up to street level.

It was the longest service interruption on a PATH line since a two-and-a-half month strike in 1980.

"But afterward, since the PATH line has been shut down down there, you're seeing 15 or 20."

But the PATH line ran a deficit of $166.8 million, and the bus terminal lost $51.2 million.
