New Jersey Transit will unveil a premium FIFA World Cup transit pass on Friday, offering round-trip service between New York’s Penn Station and MetLife Stadium during matches. The special ticket may exceed $100 per rider, significantly higher than standard fares, reflecting surge pricing for the high-demand event. MetLife Stadium, the host venue, is accessible via NJ Transit’s Meadowlands Rail Line, which typically operates limited service but will expand for World Cup games. Officials cite operational costs, security, and logistical challenges as justification for the elevated pricing, targeting international and domestic fans attending matches. The announcement follows broader transit adjustments for the 2026 World Cup, including enhanced schedules and crowd management plans across host cities.
