NJ Transit has reduced the World Cup round-trip rail fare from $150 to $105, funded by private sponsorships and other sources to avoid burdening New Jersey taxpayers or everyday commuters. Tickets go on sale May 13, and the price cut comes after criticism of the initial hike, with the agency still seeking additional private funding to possibly lower costs further.
