Port Authority Trans-Hudson
In 1962, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey formally took over the H&amp;M, rebranding the system as Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH). A "Gimbels passageway" was formerly used by pedestrians to connect to Penn Station a block to the west under 33rd Street. After years of safety and sanitation concerns, an epidemic of sexual assaults led to its closure in the 1980s.
