Description

NJ Transit announces steep World Cup train fares, sparking controversy. Round-trip tickets to MetLife Stadium will cost $150, up from $12.90, for eight matches over three weeks. Fans must buy advance tickets, non-refundable with set boarding times. Governor Mikie Sherrill defends the price hike, citing FIFAs lack of contribution to transit costs. Commuters get a 20% discount on busy match days and a 3% monthly discount for June. Uber and parking at American Dream mall are alternatives, with fares hiked in other areas too.
