Hoboken–33rd Street represents a rapid transit line managed by the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH). It is denoted by blue on the PATH system map, with trains featuring blue indicator lights. This route connects Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey to 33rd Street located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, traversing the Uptown Hudson Tubes. The journey duration is roughly 14 minutes.

Between January and February 2025, the service was paused temporarily due to the closure of Hoboken station. During this interval, a combined weekday route operated from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., linking World Trade Center and 33rd Street.

History

Originally launched on February 26, 1908, as the Hoboken–19th Street line by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M), this service was the inaugural route among four H&M/PATH lines. It ran from Hoboken Terminal through the Uptown Hudson Tubes to 19th Street in Manhattan. The line extended first to 23rd Street on June 15, 1908, and later reached 33rd Street on November 10, 1910, including a stop at 28th Street.

The station at 28th Street ceased operations in September 1939 amid construction of Manhattan's IND Sixth Avenue Line, while the 19th Street station was closed on August 1, 1954. In 1962, Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) took over operations from H&M.

Following the destruction of the World Trade Center station during the September 11 attacks, Hoboken–33rd Street service was halted overnight. All services were rerouted via the Newark–33rd Street line through Hoboken. After Exchange Place station reopened in June 2003, this branch was shortened to Journal Square and renamed Journal Square–33rd Street (via Hoboken), with weekend operations included.

Hurricane Sandy inflicted significant damage on Hoboken station in October 2012, flooding tunnels and impairing equipment. Service was suspended temporarily for repairs and resumed on December 19, 2012, once the station was restored.

In October 2024, the Port Authority revealed plans for a comprehensive renovation of Hoboken Terminal PATH station scheduled for most of February 2025. Consequently, the Hoboken–33rd Street service will be suspended during this period and substituted by a temporary route between 33rd Street and World Trade Center.
