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.
They prob already have the infrastructure and routes in the standard daily usage… most of these I am guessing will not be standard routes or infrastructure, and just temporary for the events.
Civilised countries use events like this as a vehicle (no pun intended) to build infrastructure - like public transport - for the event that will then be a public good after.
Nope. It’s the normal busses and trains. On a usual day they charge $12.50 for the airport to city train, but the city decided to just turn it up to $100 for this event.
Similarly the prices on the normal busses are going to be special event rates.
