So you're saying it's not on TA property. I guess you're right, since as you head toward PATH, you pass a "Thanks for Riding the MTA" sign. And when you go in the other direction toward the subway there's an "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here" sign... Well, at least the Port Authority keeps their elevator that runs up to the street in good condition. They must have an air freshener in that car, because it always smells good and is pretty clean. |

I can deal with the dust issue. I was there walking down the passway from the Sixth Ave subway station to the PATH and I didn't see any homeless people that I normally would in the past and there was no smell of urine either walking toward the PATH trains. All good stuff. Yes....dust is not good either...but it's getting better. |

Just for the record that's the MTA's portion of the station. The PATH station doesn't begin until the area adjacent to Manhattan Mall. |

I've seen that filth at other stations, too.That's why I think New Yorkers have the strongest lungs on Earth. We breathe in all that shit and a lot of brake dust too on a daily basis and here we are. |

As a REGULAR PATH rider myself lately, that CURIOUS "Path stank" hasn't gone away either ... that kind musk, kinda mildew, kind Mudhole-lands kinda stank ... if only the Pork Authority could BOTTLE that chit, we'd all ride for FREE! :)But that PATH smell! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"Just for the record that's the MTA's portion of the station. The PATH station doesn't begin until the area adjacent to Manhattan Mall."I was back there today and got this shot. The camera is facing north toward the 34th Street subway fare control. I don't know if the sign in the photo "Welcome to NYC Transit" is the legal dividing line between PATH and the TA.

The PATH corridors in the station have a distinct appearance that looks nothing like this. This passageway resembles the other NYCT corridors in the station. |

That passageway heading south to PATH has no access to the TA subway, so I think you're right It is all PATH. I'll be there again today and I was going to check the doors in the passageway to see if they had TA identifications on their frame. |

MTA did use those "waxed tiles" in the entire station rehab (including the platforms on the IND level), and the entire complex was an MTA job, not PATH.Also, the doors in the area used to be labeled as MTA facilities (Station scrubber room, etc), though now those signs have been removed, and (IIRC, upon asking a while ago) they are now storage rooms. Plus, If the entire area was PATH, then PA would have been mentioned regarding the responsibility of the disputed closed passage to 7th Ave, but I have only heard of it being between the MTA and the retail property (now the mall). Here is a picture from about the same point as the other one above, but looking in the opposite direction (at the false wall sealing the passage).  The PATH begins past there, probably where it's fare vending machines are. Again, note the tile frieze to the far right. This is apart of the MTA 34th St. station rehab design, not PATH. The n/s passage did have access to the subway, through another passage between the glass walls, that was given over to the newsstand, which filled it with their own storage, with two apparently separate newstands on both ends. That led right to the stairways either to the 6th Ave. or Broadway lines. Of course, the other end of the passage leads to the 34th St. fare control area, so it does have "access" top the subway. The reason the sign is placed there; think of someone coming from either PATH or the mall. Once they pass the entrance to the mall they are now heading for the other fare control area of the MTA, so that place was as good as any other to welcome people to the MTA. |
