New York City is implementing street redesign projects to improve pedestrian and bicycle access in anticipation of increased visitors for the FIFA World Cup. Key roadways like 9th Avenue and Lafayette Street will see enhancements. Fans will need to use NJ Transit to reach MetLife Stadium, facing a significant fare increase to over $100 round trip due to additional service costs. FIFA's financial gains from the tournament do not alleviate the burden of transportation costs on local states, while ticket prices for matches are also extremely high.
