"Kathryn Garcia, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, stated, 'If you are not attending one of the events, please work from home because the city will be incredibly congested and so will New Jersey.'"
"NJ Transit is limiting rail service between Penn Station and Secaucus Junction exclusively to attendees, starting four hours before kickoff, ensuring that only those with tickets can travel to the stadium."
"The transit agency is offering only 40,000 rail tickets to each game, which must be purchased in advance for $150 round-trip, compared to the normal price of $12.90."
Officials recommend that commuters avoid traveling between New Jersey and New York City on World Cup match days. Kathryn Garcia, executive director of the Port Authority, emphasized the anticipated congestion. MetLife Stadium will host eight matches, including the final on July 19. NJ Transit will limit rail service to attendees only, requiring mobile ticket purchases for specific time periods. Only 40,000 tickets will be available for each game at a significantly higher price than usual, and additional restrictions will apply post-match.
