NJ Transit eyes $100+ World Cup rail fare to MetLife Stadium
TL;DR Summary
NJ Transit plans a blanket return fare exceeding $100 for trips from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for World Cup games, a sharp rise from the usual $12.90, with a final price decision due soon. Officials say the higher price covers security and operation costs and should not fall on regular commuters or taxpayers, though questions remain about reduced fares for children, seniors and accessibility travelers.
