Nearly 15 years after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub is now partially open to the public. It serves as a connection between New Jersey's Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) trains and New York City's subways, and is right next to One World Trade Center.
The design for the station was first revealed in 2004. It was projected to take five years and only $2.2 billion to complete, but after 12 years and many complications, $2.2 billion turned into $4 billion, making the Transportation Hub the most expensive train station ever.
