Overview
- NJ Transit set a $150 round-trip fare between New York Penn Station and MetLife Stadium for World Cup games, far above the usual $12.90 ride.
- New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill criticized the arrangement and said the state inherited a deal in which FIFA provides no funding for transportation.
- Officials outlined match-day access limits that could restrict entry at hubs like Penn Station and the 33rd Street PATH station to ticket holders during game windows.
- On-site parking near the stadium will be scarce, and off-site spaces at the American Dream mall are listed at $225 per car.
- Fans voiced frustration over the costs, with former Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia joking that people could park at his home to avoid the steep charges.
