People who frequent the PATH system will find something new in its corridors this year: mobile device charging kiosks at various points in the world’s largest underground mall.

Distributed by a start-up company at Ryerson’s Digital Media Zone called DanTeb Enterprises, the charging stations will provide free 10-minute charges to all types of mobile devices. The company will roll out 20 of the charging stations in the PATH system with an eye on bringing them to restaurants, bars, shopping malls and schools in the future.
