I was there around 15 years ago armed with a MetroCard (7-Day unlimited travel on the subway). Current price is $31 plus a $1 card fee (^20.78 ish) which seems great value.

I assume after 9/11 most of the original subway station remained intact?

Yes - as in both the PATH station where the escalators of the original picture were taken, and in the "E" line terminus of the same name but on the other flank of the site.  However, the PATH station is being very much rebuilt as part of the new WTC complex.

Very interesting part of NY ... very sad to be approached by loads of brochure sellers and that side of the tourism industry when passing through the area as visitors to the city - feels almost disrespectful and there are elements of it being treated like a theme park.

I watched The World Trade Centre (sic): Rebuilt on Channel 5 last night. I had no idea about the mass of construction that has gone on there since.

I would say being approached in the street by a stranger selling something is pretty disrespectful in general, but agree even more so in that location. I have also seen "chuggers" in the UK (United Kingdom) chase people down the street in the past. You've got a right to go about your lawful business/sightseeing etc. without being obstructed or verbally harrassed IMO (in my opinion).
