""If you are not attending one of the events, please, if possible, work from home because the city will be incredibly congested and so will New Jersey," Kathryn Garcia, Port Authority's executive director, said at a recent news conference."
""We are going to do a lot of outreach to people coming through our airport to make sure they know about illegal taxis, but it also is for those in the city. We encourage you to use public transit if you can," Garcia added."
""The back and forth is just going to be tough," Garcia said, highlighting the expected difficulties in travel during the World Cup matches."
In 2026, commuters in New York and New Jersey are warned to avoid travel during World Cup matches due to expected severe congestion. NJ Transit will limit round-trip tickets from Penn Station to MetLife Stadium to 40,000 per game, significantly reducing capacity. The fare for this route will increase to $150, a substantial rise from the usual $12.90. Officials recommend working from home if not attending events and encourage the use of public transit to mitigate congestion around key travel hubs.
