NJ Transit eyes $100+ round trip for World Cup fans to MetLife Stadium
TL;DR
NJ Transit plans to raise the round-trip fare from New York’s Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for World Cup 2026 matches to more than $100 (from $12.90), with the final price decision pending. The eight-match schedule at MetLife, including the final, is projected to cost about $48 million to deploy, and officials say regular commuters won’t bear those costs as Gov. Sherrill seeks to limit taxpayer burden.
