"NJ Transit plans to charge more than $100 for round-trip rail journeys to MetLife Stadium for all eight World Cup games, resulting in an almost eightfold increase in prices."
"The agency anticipates that up to 40,000 fans will use the system to travel to each game at MetLife Stadium, significantly increasing ridership compared to previous events."
"To mitigate increased rail demand, NJ Transit will shutter its section of Penn Station to all but World Cup-bound trains four hours before each game due to heightened security."
"The agency estimates that it will cost roughly $48 million to ramp up capacity and increase security across the eight days when World Cup games are taking place."
NJ Transit is set to charge more than $100 for round-trip rail journeys to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup, marking an increase from the usual $12.90 fare. The agency anticipates a significant rise in ridership, estimating up to 40,000 fans per game. To manage this demand, NJ Transit will close its section of Penn Station to non-World Cup trains and is constructing a new bus terminal to enhance transit options. The estimated cost to increase capacity and security is around $48 million.
