From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

9th Street-Congress Street is a station on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) located at 9th Street, west of Jackson Street, in Hoboken, New Jersey.

9th Street-Congress Street station is most notable for having an elevator that connects Congress Street on the Jersey City Heights with 9th Street in Hoboken. Use of the elevator is free and those who use the elevator do not need to pay to ride the Light Rail. Before the elevator, the only way to get to the Jersey City Heights from Hoboken was to take Paterson Plank Rd. or Mountain Rd. in southern Hoboken, or the Viaduct in northern Hoboken.

The station opened on September 7, 2004. Service from the station is available to Hoboken Terminal and to West Side Avenue in Jersey City (bypassing Hoboken Terminal). Transfers for service to 22nd Street in Bayonne are available at station stops between Hoboken Terminal and Liberty State Park. Northbound service is available to Tonnelle Avenue in North Bergen.
