   I have used PATH for intra-Manhattan travel, and nobody else   
   was ever on the platform.  The uptown entrance had but one   
   single turnstile.   
      
   My guess is that ridership is very little.   
      
   There might have been more back in the days when the PATH fare was   
   only 30c, much lower than the NYCT fare.  But now they're the same.   
   I'd venture most subway passengers are going a longer distance   
   or transferring (free) to another line, both of which cannot be done on   
   PATH.
