Exchange Place station is a light rail station in Jersey City, New Jersey. Located on Hudson Street between York and Montgomery Streets, the station services trains of New Jersey Transit's Hudson–Bergen Light Rail between Bayonne and North Bergen. Exchange Place station is located near the PATH station of the same name. The station consists of two platforms, an island platform for trains in both directions, along with a side platform that services northbound trains only. The next station to the south is Essex Street station, while the next station to the north is Harborside.
The station marked the terminus of the original opening segment of the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail from 34th Street station in Bayonne and West Side Avenue in Jersey City. In 2017, the platforms at the station were extended by {{convert|25|ft|m}} to their current length of {{convert|190|ft|m}}. The work was done to accommodate new "extended" cars that were introduced to ease overcrowding during peak periods of ridership.{{cite web|url=http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=PressReleaseTo&PRESS_RELEASE_ID=3172|title=PLATFORM EXPANSION PAVES WAY FOR EXTENDED CARS TO OPERATE ON HUDSON-BERGEN LIGHT RAIL DURING PEAK PERIODS|publisher=NJ Transit|date=October 29, 2017|accessdate=January 10, 2018}}
