TL;DR

New Jersey Transit announced World Cup travel pricing for MetLife Stadium: $150 for a round-trip rail ticket from New York’s Penn Station and an $80-per-seat bus option; rail tickets go live May 13 and buses on April 17, with no discounts for children or seniors. Officials say the costs cover a claimed $48 million transit bill and should be borne by FIFA rather than taxpayers, a stance contested by Gov. Sherrill. NJ Transit emphasizes it isn’t profit-driven and notes a $200 million deficit as surge pricing and congestion loom with thousands of fans traveling to eight World Cup games at MetLife Stadium.
