NYC PATH Stations Go 24/7 for New Year's Week
PATH's 9 St and 23 St Manhattan stations operate 24/7 from Dec. 31 through Jan. 5
PATH Extends Hours at 9 St, 23 St Stations
Two Manhattan PATH stations will stay open around the clock for six days during the New Year's holiday period, transit officials said. The 9 St. and 23 St. stations will operate 24/7 starting Wednesday evening, Dec. 31, through Monday, Jan. 5, when overnight closures resume at 11:59 PM, according to an announcement on PATH's social media. Officials didn't specify train frequencies during overnight hours.
Holiday Service Context
The extended hours accommodate travelers celebrating New Year's Eve and attending holiday events, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates PATH. Transit agencies commonly adjust service schedules during major holidays to meet increased demand. PATH typically modifies operations during peak travel periods, though officials haven't said whether this marks the first time these specific stations received extended holiday service. The system operates 13 stations across four lines connecting New Jersey and Manhattan.
Service Details
The two stations will remain accessible at any hour during the six-day period, officials said. PATH normally closes some stations overnight for maintenance and cleaning. Specific ridership projections for the extended service period weren't available by publication time. Officials didn't release cost estimates for providing the additional hours or explain why these two stations were selected for extended service while others maintain regular schedules.
Implementation Timeline
The extended service begins Wednesday evening, Dec. 31, 2025, and continues through the New Year's weekend. Regular overnight closures return at 11:59 PM Monday, Jan. 5, 2026. Officials announced the service change via social media but didn't issue a formal press release with additional operational details.
Rider Information
Passengers can access the 9 St. and 23 St. stations at any time during the holiday week without service interruptions. The extended hours provide options for late-night travelers and early-morning commuters throughout the New Year's period. Moovit provides real-time PATH schedules and service updates for riders planning trips during the holiday week.
