New Jersey Sets $150 Round-Trip World Cup Train Fare to MetLife Stadium

Overview

• New Jersey transit officials confirmed a $150 round-trip fare for match-day trains between New York and MetLife Stadium during the 2026 World Cup.
• The agency said the surcharge will cover about $48 million needed to run more trains and operate dedicated stadium service.
• About 40,000 rail tickets will be sold for each match day, with sales set to start May 13, and an $80 round-trip bus option is also available.
• Organizers said 10,000 bus seats will be offered, with those tickets already on sale through the local committee.
• The trip is roughly 30 kilometers and 30 minutes, replacing the usual $12.90 fare by more than a tenfold jump, which has raised concerns for fans headed to eight matches including Brazil’s opener and the July 19 final.
