Summary
The FIFA World Cup is rolling into New Jersey—with MetLife Stadium hosting its first match this Saturday—and NJ Transit is pulling out all the stops to avoid past chaos. Expect nearly 80,000 fans per game, with cars banned from stadium lots. The transit agency is relying on trains, shuttles, and ride-shares, while deploying 80 multilingual ambassadors to guide overseas fans. To ride the dedicated Penn Station train, you’ll need both your game ticket and a $98 round-trip fare—down from $150 thanks to a DoorDash sponsorship. For cheaper access, shuttle buses from Manhattan cost just $20. Fans are also encouraged to linger in fan zones post-game to ease congestion. Backup plans include hundreds of buses and two ferries. And if the Knicks clinch the NBA Finals? Expect even more crowds—and maybe more madness—at Penn Station. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
