Sure. Change at Secaucus Junction.

How can I change at Secaucus if I live in Hoboken? Go backwards first?

Hoboken to Secaucus.
Secaucus to Penn

Huh, didn’t realize this was a thing? I mean costs more and takes longer than PATH though no?

It depends on how crowded the 33rd St train is. I used to do it cuz the Path was so crowded and also I am a bit of a train nerd. I really enjoyed the commuter train ride. (I know I am in the minority and most people are in a rush)
Plus my company would give us a monthly Transitchek stipend and Path didn’t accept it so I could only use it on NJT.
It can be slightly more time but there are always trains going to Secaucus so you usually don’t have to wait. And then once you get to Secaucus there are tons of options coming into Penn. it’s also very comfy on the commuter trains. I would do that in the morning and then Path back home in the evening.
And yes…definitely more expensive.
