New Jersey Transit will charge World Cup fans riding to MetLife Stadium $150 for a roundtrip ticket, while service for regular commuters from New York’s Penn Station into New Jersey will suspend for four hours before a match, officials announced in April. The agency outlined transportation details for the eight games that will be played at the stadium, including the final match on July 19. Officials are urging people not attending the event to work from home, especially on June 22 and June 30, when those matches will coincide with weekday evening rush hour. Officials have mapped out security plans and service routes on different modes of public transportation in order to move 78,000 spectators to each game.
The event will depend heavily on public transportation because MetLife won’t offer spectator parking on stadium property. FIFA officials decided for security reasons to suspend the stadium’s 23,000 parking spots.
