NJ Transit Plans Significant Fare Increase for World Cup Travel to MetLife Stadium
NJ Transit is planning to increase train ticket prices significantly for travel from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium during the FIFA World Cup. The proposed fare for the 18-mile trip is set to rise from the usual $12.90 to $100, marking a 775% increase. This price hike is expected to apply to all passengers, including seniors, children, and disabled individuals, who typically receive discounted fares. The decision is pending finalization, with the transit system expected to announce the official pricing soon. The increase is part of logistical adjustments for the eight World Cup games scheduled in New Jersey.
