New York–New Jersey World Cup shuttle price slashed to $20 as yellow buses roll out

The NY/NJ World Cup host committee cut the MetLife shuttle price from $80 to $20 and expanded capacity to 18,000 seats for five games (and 12,000 weekday seats for group-stage matches) by hiring classic yellow school buses, backed by a $6 million New York State investment that includes $60 refunds for fans who already paid $80 and reserving about 20% of seats for state residents; NJ Transit also lowered its fare from $150 to $98 to spare commuters, with buses operating from three Manhattan hubs and a fleet of roughly 300 buses supported by private partners.
