World Cup attendees to The Meadowlands looking at a $100 fare to and from Penn Station

Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Apr 15 23:39:29 2026

Looks like because of various demands from FIFA and their refusal to help fund this, people planning to go to World Cup matches in The Meadowlands are looking at a $100 fare from Penn Station to get there,

I wonder if when this deal was originally made I believe in 2018, New Jersey planned to absorb this themselves before COVID caused mass retirememnts on top of those who died from COVID, with it now likely far more overtime is likely to be needed for the service the way FIFA wants it than was planned when deals were made. Normally, tickets for this service are $12.90

NJ Governor Mikie Sherilll is making clear she wants FIFA to foot the bill for this. It appears if nothing is done, NJ Transit is going to have to prevent losses by recovering costs 100% through the farebox to prevent regular fares from skyrocketing, again due to FIFA's demands.
