If you're traveling on a weekend or late at night, not having to wait for a second PATH train might be a plus for you as the trains run less frequently than during the day.

As for cost, the PATH is one flat price...$2.00. You'll need to buy a PATH card at one of the machines. http://www.panynj.gov/path/fares.html
