NJ Transit Lowers World Cup Train Fares to $105 Amid Funding Support
NJ Transit has announced a reduction in train fares to $105 for World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, down from the initially planned $150. This change comes after securing funding from private donors to cover part of the $48 million cost required to run the service, including meeting FIFA's security requirements. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill emphasized that taxpayers would not bear the financial burden for these transportation costs. The transit agency will prioritize World Cup ticketholders at Penn Station, with specific boarding procedures and limited ticket sales to manage congestion. Additional transportation options include shuttle buses and VIP transport, as parking at the stadium is restricted due to security measures.
