NJ Transit announces a significant fare increase for World Cup attendees, with round-trip tickets from New York City to MetLife Stadium rising from $12.90 to $150, aiming to cover $62 million in transportation costs.
NJ Transit confirms that 40,000 round-trip tickets at $150 each will be available for World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, with sales starting on May 13.
Reports suggest NJ Transit is considering a $150 round-trip fare for World Cup attendees traveling from New York City to MetLife Stadium, a significant increase from the usual $12.90 fare.
Round-trip public transit tickets to World Cup games in New Jersey will cost $150, up from less than $15 for the same route on a typical day, FIFA and NJ Transit officials said on Friday.
World Cup fans will have to pay $150—more than 10 times the normal price—for the quick round-trip train between New York and Meadowlands stadium when it hosts the tournament's final and seven earlier matches, local officials said Friday, drawing outrage.
