How to Get Home After Midnight

Chances are, you’d like to get home at some point after the ball drops. PATH does, too, because it plans to run throughout the night—10 p.m. to 5 a.m.—for the first time since Hurricane Sandy. Still no luck for those trying to get from Newark to WTC though. If you’re feeling fancier (or have someone to impress), there’s Uber. The app lets you summon a town car from your phone, but it might cost you “$100 MINIMUM before time and mileage charges,” according to a letter they sent to subscribers. We’ll stick to the trusty MTA, which plans to run with little to no service changes tonight, unless you’re heading to Times Square.
