Which New York City Subway station is directly connected to the World Trade Center PATH station?

The story behind the answer

World Trade Center is the New York City Subway station directly connected to the World Trade Center PATH station.

The subway station is part of the Cortlandt Street complex in Lower Manhattan. It serves the N, R, and W trains and is connected through passageways to the PATH terminal, the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, and nearby subway stations.

The area has changed names and layouts several times because of major rebuilding after the September 11 attacks. The PATH station, commonly called the Oculus station, reopened in stages, while the subway facilities were reconstructed and improved.

A common mix-up is confusing World Trade Center PATH with the nearby World Trade Center subway station. PATH is a separate rapid-transit system serving New Jersey, while the New York City Subway station is operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The complex also connects with Fulton Street and Chambers Street through pedestrian passageways.
