Another city's transit system is jacking up prices for World Cup fans
"A round trip between downtown Miami and Aventura, the Brightline station closest to the Hard Rock Stadium, typically costs $24. On days when it hosts World Cup games, the price ranges from $76 to $151."
"Brightline's booking site shows a $151 round-trip for June 24, when Scotland plays Brazil. It also costs $76 for the first game in Miami, Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay, and $141 for the city's other five matches."
"Miami-Dade County is organizing free shuttle buses for ticket holders to the stadium from the Aventura station, about a 20-minute drive."
"New Jersey Transit faced criticism earlier this month when it announced $150 tickets for a round-trip journey between Manhattan's Penn Station and MetLife Stadium, which is more than 11-times as expensive as the usual fare."
Brightline railway tickets for FIFA World Cup fans will be priced between $76 and $151 for round trips, compared to the usual $24. This makes it the most expensive transit option among the 16 cities hosting World Cup games. Miami will host multiple matches, including a quarter-final and a third-place playoff. Free shuttle buses will be provided for ticket holders from the Aventura station to the stadium. Other cities like New Jersey and Boston are also raising transit prices for the event.
