WCup NJ Transit Soccer

Sky-high ticket prices won’t be the only thing emptying the wallets of soccer fans attending World Cup matches at some U.S. venues this spring. New Jersey Transit officials announced Friday that fans trying to get to MetLife Stadium from New York City can expect to shell out $150 for a round-trip train fare for each match. That’s nearly 12 times the regular $12.90 fare to get from Manhattan’s Penn Station to the stadium in East Rutherford. Taking public transit to matches in Boston’s suburbs will also be costly. Officials there previously announced buses to Gillette Stadium will cost $95. Taking the train will cost $80. Other U.S. host cities have promised to keep transit costs low.
