PATH Station – Grove Street

I only came through this station on 2 separate days (prior to this review) and both were pleasant. The entrance to the station resembles one of the subway stations in Union Square (NYC), which I found rather interesting. I do wish Path stations had vending machines, which is the only thing this place is missing in my opinion. I like the bench layout in the center of the waiting area, as well as the banisters. If you stand from one end and look at the other you will definitely appreciate the work put into this place. It’s clean with a calm atmosphere which is something to appreciate.

Moldy, smelly, dirty and I honestly felt like I was suffocating from the heat when I was waiting for the train here. Now granted, all subway stations (especially in NY) fall into this category but this one was at its worst.
I do give it two stars because it’s in an otherwise great location, in a prime area with tons of bars, shops and restaurants.

Dis my path station! Yay!
This station is clean, spacious, there is never a line at the metro card machine and the trains always come on time. Basically that is all you could ever want or need out of a path train, and Grove St executes flawlessly.
The location is also prime time and is right in the middle of a vibrant area with a ton of shops, restaurants and a farmers market. I’ve been to all of the path stations in Jersey City, and this is by far my fave.

10 minutes from the crib & 7 minutes to WTC, doesn’t get any better than that… ample lighting & cleanliness is always great.

Sometimes, I prefer the PATH train to the MTA train. The stations usually aren’t as dirty, they have a TV, the timings of the trains are pretty accurate, and of course, the trains are much cleaner. Grove Street is the Jersey City train station — really great compared to many of the train stations in New York. Of course, the trains are kind of confusing (note that the 33^rd Street and WTC trains going into Manhattan go on the same track, so be sure you get on the right train and the other side goes to Journal Sq), but it’s clearly labelled.
The train station is also conveniently located to many stores like a bank, a Dunkin Dounts, a Starbucks, and a Duane Reade — all at your fingertips. It’s also in the heart of a neighborhood with many up and coming restaurants. There’s also a taxi line that waits to pick up people so you can get into any part of Jersey City within a couple of minutes since the train will likely not reach there.

This is my home station. It’s by far the best PATH station, convenience-​wise, because you can catch the train direct to Newark, WTC or 33^rd. What I don’t understand, however, is the escalator situation. There are 2 escalators, but they only run from the street level, to the mezzanine level. They don’t go down to the platform level. And at least 1 of them is always broken, and it’s always the 1 going UP. So there is 1 escalator going down, while the other is blocked off, and it creates stairway traffic jams.

Awesome PATH station. Connects all lines, clean, multiple entrances/​exits, plenty of ticketing machines. ‘Nuf said.

If only all PATH stations were as clean and efficient as this one.
In addition to being well-​maintained, there’s plenty of parking options in the area that won’t burn a hole in your pocket or put your life in jeopardy (I’m looking at you Newark PATH station). There’s two independent entrances that couldn’t be more different from each other. One is at the center of a local business plaza, while the other is across the street and has a modern contemporary look.
I’d say this is definitely my favorite station on the entire PATH line.

PATH Grove Street Station is basically my «home» station. I live a couple of blocks away and I love it. It has three entrances, its pretty much clean and its located in the best part of Jersey City. Ha! I guess I’m a little biased but you know I’m telling the truth ;-)

This station remains my personal hidden gem on the weekends. When entering Jersey City isn’t too crazy I skip going to the Newark Path station and make it over here. The parking garages are reasonably priced and there is sometimes ample street parking. Just be careful of the recent street construction. But jump on a train here and you are at World Trade Center in 10 minutes and 2 stops, it doesn’t get any easier or more convienant than this. I have yet to see one panhandler or smell the scent of urine while being at this station and will be forever grateful for that.
