Fans heading to the World Cup in the U.S. are facing a new source of sticker shock: mass transit. In New Jersey and Massachusetts, some train fares tied to matches will cost fans far more than normal NFL gameday trips.
No bus costs $95/person to operate, especially when running at capacity. Its just gouging, plain and simple.
You know its gouging because these trips already operate daily at $10-20/person, so its a 5x-10x markup for the same service offered the day before to literally anyone but the captive audience.
That’s explorative, and should not be part of our infrastructure like public transit systems, regardless of who it serves.
