"Governor Kathy Hochul and the FIFA World Cup 2026 NYNJ Host Committee announced this week that official round-trip shuttle bus service to World Cup matches will now cost $20, down from the originally announced $80 fare."
"The buses will transport fans to and from matches at MetLife Stadium (that's "New York New Jersey Stadium" during FIFA season), with departures from the Port Authority Bus Terminal and additional pickup points in Midtown East and Midtown North. Exact locations will be shared with ticketholders in the coming weeks."
"Initial plans called for around 10,000 shuttle seats per game, but officials now say there will be up to 18,000 seats available for five matches and 12,000 seats for three others. Additional school buses are even being brought in through Highland Electric Fleets and NYC School Bus Umbrella Services to help handle demand."
"To help locals access the cheaper transportation option before international soccer fans descend on the region en masse, 20% of shuttle tickets for each match will be reserved exclusively for New York State residents. The remaining tickets will be available to all match-going fans. And if you were one of the ambitious early planners who already shelled out $80 for a shuttle ticket, you'll automatically receive a $60 refund, too."
